Isaiah:37:21-38
mkjv@Isaiah:37:21 @ 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,
mkjv@Isaiah:37:22 @ 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.
mkjv@Isaiah:37:23 @ 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.
mkjv@Isaiah:37:24 @ 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.
mkjv@Isaiah:37:25 @ I have dug and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet I have dried up all the streams of Egypt.
mkjv@Isaiah:37:26 @ 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.
mkjv@Isaiah:37:27 @ 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.
mkjv@Isaiah:37:28 @ But I know your sitting down, and your going out, and your coming in, and your rage against Me.
mkjv@Isaiah:37:29 @ 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.
mkjv@Isaiah:37:30 @ 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.
mkjv@Isaiah:37:31 @ The remnant that has escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward and bear fruit upward;
mkjv@Isaiah:37:32 @ 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.
mkjv@Isaiah:37:33 @ 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.
mkjv@Isaiah:37:34 @ By the way that he came, by the same he shall return, and shall not come into this city, says the LORD.
mkjv@Isaiah:37:35 @ For I will defend this city to save it, for My own sake and for My servant David's sake.
mkjv@Isaiah:37:36 @ 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.
mkjv@Isaiah:37:37 @ And Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and lived at Nineveh.
mkjv@Isaiah:37:38 @ 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.
