*
And it came to pass ,
when King Hezekiah heard it ,
that he rent his clothes ,
and covered himself with sackcloth ,
and went into the house of Yahweh .
*
And he sent Eliakim ,
who was over the household ,
and Shebna the scribe ,
and the elders of the priests ,
covered with sackcloth ,
to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz .
*
And they said to him ,
Thus says Hezekiah ,
This day is a day of trouble ,
and of rebuke ,
and of disgrace ;
for the children have come to the birth ,
and there is not strength to bring forth .
*
It may be Yahweh your God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh ,
whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God ,
and will rebuke the words which Yahweh your God has heard :
therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant who is left .
*
So the slaves of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah .
*
And Isaiah said to them ,
Thus you (

will say to your {+}
master ,
Thus says Yahweh ,
Don '
t be afraid of the words that you have heard ,
with which the attendants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me .
*
Look ,
I will put a spirit in him ,
and he will hear [
some ]
news ,
and will return to his own land ;
and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land .
*
So Rabshakeh returned ,
and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah ;
for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish .
*
And when he heard it said of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia ,
Look ,
he has come out to fight against you ,
he sent messengers again to Hezekiah ,
saying ,
*
Thus you (
note :){+}(:
note )
will speak to Hezekiah king of Judah ,
saying ,
Don '
t let your God in whom you trust deceive you ,
saying ,
Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria .
*
Look ,
you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands ,
by destroying them completely :
and will you be delivered ?
*
Have the gods of the nations delivered them ,
which my fathers have destroyed ,
Gozan ,
and Haran ,
and Rezeph ,
and the sons of Eden who were in Telassar ?
*
Where is the king of Hamath ,
and the king of Arpad ,
and the king of the city of Sepharvaim ,
of Hena ,
and Ivvah ?
