*
And Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah ,
saying ,
So says Jehovah ,
God of Israel ,
Because you have prayed to Me against Sennacherib king of Assyria ,
*
this [
is ]
the word which the LORD has spoken concerning him :
The virgin ,
the daughter of Zion ,
has despised you [
and ]
laughed you to scorn ;
the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken [
her ]
head behind you .
*
Whom have you mocked and blasphemed ?
And against whom have you raised [
your ]
voice and lifted up your eyes on high ?
Even against the Holy One of Israel .
*
By your servants you have mocked Jehovah and have said ,
by my many chariots I have come up to the height of the mountains ,
to the sides of Lebanon ;
and I will cut down the tall cedars of it , [
and ]
its choice fir trees ;
and I will go to its greatest height ,
the forest of its Carmel .
*
I have dug and drunk water ;
and with the sole of my feet I have dried up all the streams of Egypt .
*
Have you not heard from afar ?
I made it from days of old ,
even I have formed it .
Now I have caused it to come ,
and you are to cause fortified cities to crash [
into ]
heaps ,
ruins .
*
And their inhabitants [
were ]
short of hand ;
dismayed and ashamed .
They were as the grass of the field ,
and as the green herb , [
as ]
the grass on the housetops ,
even grain blasted before it has risen .
*
But I know your sitting down ,
and your going out ,
and your coming in ,
and your rage against Me .
*
Because of your raging against Me ,
and 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 which you came .
*
And this [
shall be ]
a sign to you :
You shall eat self-sown grain [
this ]
year ;
and the second year that which springs of the same ;
and in the third year you shall sow ,
and reap ,
and plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them .
*
The remnant that has escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward and bear fruit upward ;
*
for out of Jerusalem shall go out a remnant ,
and those who escape out of Mount Zion ;
the zeal of Jehovah of hosts shall do this .
*
So the LORD says this to the king of Assyria ,
He shall not come into this city nor shoot an arrow there ,
nor come before it [
with ]
shield ,
nor cast a bank against it .
*
By the way that he came ,
by the same he shall return ,
and shall not come into this city ,
says the LORD .
*
For I will defend this city to save it ,
for My own sake and for My servant David '
s sake .
*
Then the angel of the LORD went out and struck a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the camp of Assyria .
And they rose early in the morning ,
and behold !
They [
were ]
all dead corpses .
*
And Sennacherib king of Assyria departed ,
and went and returned ,
and lived at Nineveh .
*
And it happened as he was worshiping [
in ]
the house of Nisroch his god ,
Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons struck him with the sword .
And they escaped [
into ]
the land of Ararat ;
and Esar-haddon his son reigned in his place .
