*
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah ,
saying ,
This is what Yahweh ,
the God of Israel ,
says ,
Whereas you have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria ,
I have heard [
you ].
*
This is the word that Yahweh has spoken concerning him :
The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and laughed you to scorn ;
the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you .
*
Whom have you defied and blasphemed ?
And against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high ? [
Even ]
against the Holy One of Israel .
*
By your messengers you have defied the Lord ,
and have said ,
When I mount my chariot I will come up to the height of the mountains ,
to the innermost parts of Lebanon ;
and I will cut down its tall cedars ,
and its choice fir-trees ;
and I will enter into its farthest lodging-place ,
its park forest .
*
I have dug and drank strange waters ,
and with the sole of my feet I will dry up all the rivers of Egypt .
*
Have you not heard how I had done it long ago ,
and formed it of ancient times ?
Now I have brought it to pass ,
that it should be yours to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps .
*
Therefore their inhabitants were of small power ,
they were dismayed and confounded ;
they were as the grass of the field ,
and as the green herb ,
as the grass on the housetops ,
and as grain blighted before it is grown up .
*
I know your rising up ,
and your sitting down ,
and your going out ,
and your coming in ,
and your raging against me .
*
Because of your raging against me ,
and because your arrogance has come up into my ears ,
therefore I will put my hook in your nose ,
and my bridle in your lips ,
and I will turn you back by the way by which you came .
*
And this will be the sign to you :
You (
note :){+}(:
note )
will eat this year that which grows of itself ,
and in the second year that which springs of the same ;
and in the third year you {+}
will sow ,
and reap ,
and plant vineyards ,
and eat their fruit .
*
And the remnant that has escaped of the house of Judah will again take root downward ,
and bear fruit upward .
*
For out of Jerusalem will go forth a remnant ,
and out of mount Zion those who will escape :
the zeal of Yahweh will perform this .
*
Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning the king of Assyria ,
He will not come to this city ,
nor shoot an arrow there ,
neither will he come before it with shield ,
nor cast up a mound against it .
*
By the way that he came ,
by the same he will return ,
and he will not come to this city ,
says Yahweh .
*
For I will defend this city to save it ,
for my own sake ,
and for my slave David '
s sake .
*
And it came to pass that night ,
that the angel of Yahweh went forth ,
and struck 185 ,
000 in the camp of the Assyrians :
and when men arose early in the morning ,
look ,
these were all dead bodies .
*
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed ,
and went and returned ,
and dwelt at Nineveh .
*
And it came to pass ,
as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god ,
that Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him with the sword :
and they escaped into the land of Ararat .
And Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead .
