*
And it happened when king Hezekiah heard ,
he tore his clothes and covered himself with sackcloth ,
and went into the house of the LORD .
*
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 ,
So says Hezekiah ,
This day [
is ]
a day of trouble ,
and of rebuke ,
and of blasphemy !
For the sons have come to the birth ,
and no strength to bring forth .
*
It may be Jehovah your God will hear the words of the chief of the cupbearers ,
whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to reproach the living God ,
and will reprove the words which Jehovah your God has heard .
And you shall lift up [
your ]
prayer for the remnant that is left .
*
So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah .
*
And Isaiah said to them ,
So you shall say to your master ,
So says the LORD ,
Do not be afraid of the words which you have heard ,
with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me .
*
Behold ,
I will send a blast on him ,
and he shall hear a rumor and return to his own land .
And I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land .
*
So the chief of the cupbearers returned ,
and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah .
For he had heard that he had departed from Lachish .
*
And he heard concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia ,
He has come out to war with you .
And he heard and sent messengers to Hezekiah ,
saying ,
*
So you shall say to Hezekiah king of Judah ,
saying ,
Do not let your God ,
in whom you trust ,
deceive you ,
saying ,
Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria .
*
Behold ,
you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by completely destroying them .
And shall you be delivered ?
*
Have the gods of the nations delivered those whom 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 ,
Hena ,
and Ivah ?
