2Kings:19:20-37
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah ,
saying ,
Thus ,
saith Yahweh ,
God of Israel ,
What thou hast prayed unto me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria ,
I have heard .
*
This ,
is the word that Yahweh hath spoken concerning him ,
The virgin daughter of Zion ,
laugheth thee to scorn ,
mocketh thee ,
The daughter of Jerusalem ,
after thee ,
doth wag her head .
*
Whom ,
hast thou reproached ,
and insulted ?
and ,
against whom ,
hast thou lifted high thy voice ?
yea thou hast proudly raised thine eyes ,
against the Holy One of Israel .
*
Through thy messengers ,
thou hast reproached My Lord ,
and hast said With my multitude of chariots ,
have I ascended the height of the mountains ,
the recesses of Lebanon ,
and have cut down its tallest cedars ,
its choicest firs ,
and have entered the shelter of its summit ,
its thick garden forests .
*
I ,
have digged ,
and have drunk foreign waters ,
and have dried up ,
with the soles of my feet ,
all the streams of besieged places .
*
Hast thou not heardthat ,
long ago ,
that ,
is what I appointed ,
and ,
from days of old ,
devised it ?
Now ,
have I brought it to pass ,
that thou mightest serve to lay waste ,
in desolate ruins ,
fortified cities ;
*
And ,
their inhabitants ,
being powerless ,
were overthrown and put to shame ,
they became grass of the field ,
and young herbage ,
grass on housetops ,
and seed withered before it came up .
*
Howbeit ,
thine abode ,
and thy coming out and thy going in ,
I know ,
and thy raging against me .
*
Because ,
thy raging against me ,
and thy contempt ,
have come up into mine ears ,
therefore will I put my ring in thy nose ,
and my bit in thy lips ,
and will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest .
*
And ,
this unto thee ,
is the sign Eating ,
this year ,
the growth of scattered seeds ,
and ,
in the second year ,
that which groweth after ,
then ,
in the third year ,
sow ye and reap ,
plant ye vineyards ,
and eat the fruit thereof ;
*
Then shall the escaped of the house of Judah that remain ,
againtake root downward ,
and bear fruit upward ;
*
For ,
out of Jerusalem ,
shall go forth a remnant ,
and that which hath escapedout of Mount Zion ,
the jealousy of Yahweh of hosts ,
will perform this .
*
Therefore Thus ,
saith Yahweh ,
concerning the king of Assyria ,
He shall not enter this city ,
nor shoot there ,
an arrow ,
nor attack it with shield ,
nor cast up against it ,
a mound ;
*
By the way that he cometh in ,
by the same ,
shall he return ,
and ,
into this city ,
shall he not enter ,
declareth Yahweh !
*
Thus will I throw a covering over this city ,
to save it ,
for mine own sake ,
and for the sake of David my servant .
*
And it came to pass ,
during that night ,
that the messenger of Yahweh went forth ,
and smote ,
in the camp of the Assyrians ,
a hundred and eighty-five thousand .
And ,
when men arose early in the morning ,
lo !
they were all ,
dead bodies !
*
So Sennacherib king of Assyria brake up ,
and went his way ,
and returned ,
and remained in Nineveh .
*
And it came to pass ,
as he was bowing down in the house of Nisroch his god ,
that ,
