And it came to pass, when kingH4428 HezekiahH2396 heardH8085 it, that he rentH7167 his clothesH899, and coveredH3680 himself with sackclothH8242, and wentH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And he sentH7971 EliakimH471, who was over the householdH1004, and ShebnaH7644 the scribeH5608, and the eldersH2205 of the priestsH3548 coveredH3680 with sackclothH8242, unto IsaiahH3470 the prophetH5030 the sonH1121 of AmozH531.
And they saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 HezekiahH2396, This dayH3117 is a dayH3117 of troubleH6869, and of rebukeH8433, and of blasphemyH5007: for the childrenH1121 are comeH935 to the birthH4866, and there is not strengthH3581 to bring forthH3205. {blasphemy: or, provocation}
It may be the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 will hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of RabshakehH7262, whom the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 his masterH113 hath sentH7971 to reproachH2778 the livingH2416 GodH430, and will reproveH3198 the wordsH1697 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath heardH8085: wherefore lift upH5375 thy prayerH8605 for the remnantH7611 that is leftH4672. {left: Heb. found}
So the servantsH5650 of kingH4428 HezekiahH2396 cameH935 to IsaiahH3470.
And IsaiahH3470 saidH559 unto them, Thus shall ye sayH559 unto your masterH113, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Be not afraidH3372 ofH6440 the wordsH1697 that thou hast heardH8085, wherewith the servantsH5288 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 have blasphemedH1442 me.
Behold, I will sendH5414 a blastH7307 upon him, and he shall hearH8085 a rumourH8052, and returnH7725 to his own landH776; and I will cause him to fallH5307 by the swordH2719 in his own landH776. {send…: or, put a spirit into him}
So RabshakehH7262 returnedH7725, and foundH4672 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 warringH3898 against LibnahH3841: for he had heardH8085 that he was departedH5265 from LachishH3923.
And he heardH8085 sayH559 concerning TirhakahH8640 kingH4428 of EthiopiaH3568, He is come forthH3318 to make warH3898 with thee. And when he heardH8085 it, he sentH7971 messengersH4397 to HezekiahH2396, sayingH559,
Thus shall ye speakH559 to HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, Let not thy GodH430, in whom thou trustestH982, deceiveH5377 thee, sayingH559, JerusalemH3389 shall not be givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
Behold, thou hast heardH8085 what the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804 have doneH6213 to all landsH776 by destroying them utterlyH2763; and shalt thou be deliveredH5337?
Have the godsH430 of the nationsH1471 deliveredH5337 them which my fathersH1 have destroyedH7843, as GozanH1470, and HaranH2771, and RezephH7530, and the childrenH1121 of EdenH5729 which were in TelassarH8515?
Where is the kingH4428 of HamathH2574, and the kingH4428 of ArphadH774, and the kingH4428 of the cityH5892 of SepharvaimH5617, HenaH2012, and IvahH5755?
And HezekiahH2396 receivedH3947 the letterH5612 from the handH3027 of the messengersH4397, and readH7121 it: and HezekiahH2396 went upH5927 unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and spreadH6566 it beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
And HezekiahH2396 prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068, sayingH559,
O LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, GodH430 of IsraelH3478, that dwellestH3427 between the cherubimsH3742, thou art the GodH430, even thou alone, of all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776: thou hast madeH6213 heavenH8064 and earthH776.
InclineH5186 thine earH241, O LORDH3068, and hearH8085; openH6491 thine eyesH5869, O LORDH3068, and seeH7200: and hearH8085 all the wordsH1697 of SennacheribH5576, which hath sentH7971 to reproachH2778 the livingH2416 GodH430.
Of a truthH551, LORDH3068, the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804 have laid wasteH2717 all the nationsH776, and their countriesH776, {nations: Heb. lands}
And have castH5414 their godsH430 into the fireH784: for they were no godsH430, but the workH4639 of men'sH120 handsH3027, woodH6086 and stoneH68: therefore they have destroyedH6 them. {cast: Heb. given}
Now therefore, O LORDH3068 our GodH430, saveH3467 us from his handH3027, that all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 may knowH3045 that thou art the LORDH3068, even thou only.
Then IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531 sentH7971 unto HezekiahH2396, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Whereas thou hast prayedH6419 to me against SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804:
This is the wordH1697 which the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 concerning him; The virginH1330, the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, hath despisedH959 thee, and laughed thee to scorn;H3932 the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389 hath shakenH5128 her headH7218 at theeH310.
Whom hast thou reproachedH2778 and blasphemedH1442? and against whom hast thou exaltedH7311 thy voiceH6963, and lifted upH5375 thine eyesH5869 on highH4791? even against the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
ByH3027 thy servantsH5650 hast thou reproachedH2778 the LordH136, and hast saidH559, By the multitudeH7230 of my chariotsH7393 am I come upH5927 to the heightH4791 of the mountainsH2022, to the sidesH3411 of LebanonH3844; and I will cut downH3772 the tallH6967 cedarsH730 thereof, and the choiceH4005 fir treesH1265 thereof: and I will enterH935 into the heightH4791 of his borderH7093, and the forestH3293 of his CarmelH3760. {By thy…: Heb. By the hand of thy servants} {the tall…: Heb. the tallness of the cedars thereof and the choice of the fir trees thereof} {the forest…: or, the forest and his fruitful field}
I have diggedH6979, and drunkH8354 waterH4325; and with the soleH3709 of my feetH6471 have I dried upH2717 all the riversH2975 of the besieged placesH4693. {besieged: or, fenced and closed}
Hast thou not heardH8085 long agoH7350, how I have doneH6213 it; and of ancientH6924 timesH3117, that I have formedH3335 it? now have I broughtH935 it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay wasteH7582 defencedH1219 citiesH5892 into ruinousH5327 heapsH1530. {Hast…: or, Hast thou not heard how I have made it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? should I now bring it to be laid waste, and defenced cities to be ruinous heaps?}
Therefore their inhabitantsH3427 were of smallH7116 powerH3027, they were dismayedH2865 and confoundedH954: they were as the grassH6212 of the fieldH7704, and as the greenH3419 herbH1877, as the grassH2682 on the housetopsH1406, and as corn blastedH7709 beforeH6440 it be grown upH7054. {of small…: Heb. short of hand}
But I knowH3045 thy abodeH3427, and thy going outH3318, and thy coming inH935, and thy rageH7264 against me. {abode: or, sitting}
Because thy rageH7264 against me, and thy tumultH7600, is come upH5927 into mine earsH241, therefore will I putH7760 my hookH2397 in thy noseH639, and my bridleH4964 in thy lipsH8193, and I will turn thee backH7725 by the wayH1870 by which thou camestH935.
And this shall be a signH226 unto thee, Ye shall eatH398 this yearH8141 such as growethH5599 of itself; and the secondH8145 yearH8141 that which springethH7823 of the same: and in the thirdH7992 yearH8141 sowH2232 ye, and reapH7114, and plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 thereof.
And the remnantH7604 that is escapedH6413 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 shall againH3254 take rootH8328 downwardH4295, and bearH6213 fruitH6529 upwardH4605: {the remnant…: Heb. the escaping of the house of Judah that remaineth}
For out of JerusalemH3389 shall go forthH3318 a remnantH7611, and they that escapeH6413 out of mountH2022 ZionH6726: the zealH7068 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall doH6213 this. {they…: Heb. the escaping}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 concerning the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, He shall not comeH935 into this cityH5892, nor shootH3384 an arrowH2671 there, nor come beforeH6923 it with shieldsH4043, nor castH8210 a bankH5550 against it.
By the wayH1870 that he cameH935, by the same shall he returnH7725, and shall not comeH935 into this cityH5892, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
For I will defendH1598 this cityH5892 to saveH3467 it for mine own sake, and for my servantH5650 David'sH1732 sake.
Then the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 went forthH3318, and smoteH5221 in the campH4264 of the AssyriansH804 a hundredH3967 and fourscoreH8084 and fiveH2568 thousandH505: and when they arose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, behold, they were all deadH4191 corpsesH6297.
So SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 departedH5265, and wentH3212 and returnedH7725, and dweltH3427 at NinevehH5210.
And it came to pass, as he was worshippingH7812 in the houseH1004 of NisrochH5268 his godH430, that AdrammelechH152 and SharezerH8272 his sonsH1121 smoteH5221 him with the swordH2719; and they escapedH4422 into the landH776 of ArmeniaH780: and EsarhaddonH634 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. {Armenia: Heb. Ararat}

And HezekiahH2396 receivedH3947 the letterH5612 of the handH3027 of the messengersH4397, and readH7121 it: and HezekiahH2396 went upH5927 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and spreadH6566 it beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
And it came to pass, when kingH4428 HezekiahH2396 heardH8085 it, that he rentH7167 his clothesH899, and coveredH3680 himself with sackclothH8242, and wentH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
Yet have thou respectH6437 unto the prayerH8605 of thy servantH5650, and to his supplicationH8467, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, to hearkenH8085 unto the cryH7440 and to the prayerH8605, which thy servantH5650 prayethH6419 beforeH6440 thee to dayH3117:
That thine eyesH5869 may be openH6605 toward this houseH1004 nightH3915 and dayH3117, even toward the placeH4725 of which thou hast saidH559, My nameH8034 shall be there: that thou mayest hearkenH8085 unto the prayerH8605 which thy servantH5650 shall makeH6419 toward this placeH4725. {toward this place: or, in this place}

What prayerH8605 and supplicationH8467 soever be made by any manH120, or by all thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, which shall knowH3045 every manH376 the plagueH5061 of his own heartH3824, and spread forthH6566 his handsH3709 toward this houseH1004:
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, I have heardH8085 thy prayerH8605 and thy supplicationH8467, that thou hast madeH2603 beforeH6440 me: I have hallowedH6942 this houseH1004, which thou hast builtH1129, to putH7760 my nameH8034 there forH5704 everH5769; and mine eyesH5869 and mine heartH3820 shall be there perpetuallyH3117.
That thine eyesH5869 may be openH6605 upon this houseH1004 dayH3119 and nightH3915, upon the placeH4725 whereof thou hast saidH559 that thou wouldest putH7760 thy nameH8034 there; to hearkenH8085 unto the prayerH8605 which thy servantH5650 prayethH6419 toward this placeH4725. {toward…: or, in this place}
HearkenH8085 therefore unto the supplicationsH8469 of thy servantH5650, and of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, which they shall makeH6419 toward this placeH4725: hearH8085 thou from thy dwellingH3427 placeH4725, even from heavenH8064; and when thou hearestH8085, forgiveH5545. {make: Heb. pray}
If a manH376 sinH2398 against his neighbourH7453, and an oathH423 be laidH5375 upon him to make him swearH422, and the oathH423 comeH935 beforeH6440 thine altarH4196 in this houseH1004; {and an oath…: Heb. and he require an oath of him}
Then hearH8085 thou from heavenH8064, and doH6213, and judgeH8199 thy servantsH5650, by requitingH7725 the wickedH7563, by recompensingH5414 his wayH1870 upon his own headH7218; and by justifyingH6663 the righteousH6662, by givingH5414 him according to his righteousnessH6666.
And if thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 be put to the worseH5062 beforeH6440 the enemyH341, because they have sinnedH2398 against thee; and shall returnH7725 and confessH3034 thy nameH8034, and prayH6419 and make supplicationH2603 beforeH6440 thee in this houseH1004; {be put…: or, be smitten} {in: or, towards}
Then hearH8085 thou from the heavensH8064, and forgiveH5545 the sinH2403 of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and bring them againH7725 unto the landH127 which thou gavestH5414 to them and to their fathersH1.
When the heavenH8064 is shut upH6113, and there is no rainH4306, because they have sinnedH2398 against thee; yet if they prayH6419 toward this placeH4725, and confessH3034 thy nameH8034, and turnH7725 from their sinH2403, when thou dost afflictH6031 them;
Then hearH8085 thou from heavenH8064, and forgiveH5545 the sinH2403 of thy servantsH5650, and of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, when thou hast taughtH3384 them the goodH2896 wayH1870, wherein they should walkH3212; and sendH5414 rainH4306 upon thy landH776, which thou hast givenH5414 unto thy peopleH5971 for an inheritanceH5159.
If there be dearthH7458 in the landH776, if there be pestilenceH1698, if there be blastingH7711, or mildewH3420, locustsH697, or caterpillersH2625; if their enemiesH341 besiegeH6887 them in the citiesH8179 of their landH776; whatsoever soreH5061 or whatsoever sicknessH4245 there be: {in the cities…: Heb. in the land of their gates}
Then what prayerH8605 or what supplicationH8467 soever shall be made of any manH120, or of all thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, when every oneH376 shall knowH3045 his own soreH5061 and his own griefH4341, and shall spread forthH6566 his handsH3709 in this houseH1004: {in: or, toward this house}

Then hearH8085 thou from the heavensH8064, even from thy dwellingH3427 placeH4349, and doH6213 according to all that the strangerH5237 callethH7121 to thee for; that all peopleH5971 of the earthH776 may knowH3045 thy nameH8034, and fearH3372 thee, as doth thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and may knowH3045 that this houseH1004 which I have builtH1129 is calledH7121 by thy nameH8034. {this…: Heb. thy name is called upon this house}
If thy peopleH5971 go outH3318 to warH4421 against their enemiesH341 by the wayH1870 that thou shalt sendH7971 them, and they prayH6419 unto thee towardH1870 this cityH5892 which thou hast chosenH977, and the houseH1004 which I have builtH1129 for thy nameH8034;

Yet if they bethinkH7725+H3824 themselves in the landH776 whither they are carried captiveH7617, and turnH7725 and prayH2603 unto thee in the landH776 of their captivityH7628, sayingH559, We have sinnedH2398, we have done amissH5753, and have dealt wickedlyH7561; {bethink…: Heb. bring back to their heart}
If they returnH7725 to thee with all their heartH3820 and with all their soulH5315 in the landH776 of their captivityH7628, whither they have carried them captivesH7617, and prayH6419 towardH1870 their landH776, which thou gavestH5414 unto their fathersH1, and toward the cityH5892 which thou hast chosenH977, and toward the houseH1004 which I have builtH1129 for thy nameH8034:
Then hearH8085 thou from the heavensH8064, even from thy dwellingH3427 placeH4349, their prayerH8605 and their supplicationsH8467, and maintainH6213 their causeH4941, and forgiveH5545 thy peopleH5971 which have sinnedH2398 against thee. {cause: or, right}
Now, my GodH430, let, I beseech thee, thine eyesH5869 be openH6605, and let thine earsH241 be attentH7183 unto the prayerH8605 that is made in this placeH4725. {unto…: Heb. to the prayer of this place}
Now therefore ariseH6965, O LORDH3068 GodH430, into thy restingH5118 place, thou, and the arkH727 of thy strengthH5797: let thy priestsH3548, O LORDH3068 GodH430, be clothedH3847 with salvationH8668, and let thy saintsH2623 rejoiceH8055 in goodnessH2896.
O LORDH3068 GodH430, turn not awayH7725 the faceH6440 of thine anointedH4899: rememberH2142 the merciesH2617 of DavidH1732 thy servantH5650.
For in the timeH3117 of troubleH7451 he shall hideH6845 me in his pavilionH5520: in the secretH5643 of his tabernacleH168 shall he hideH5641 me; he shall set me upH7311 upon a rockH6697.
To the chief MusicianH5329, to JeduthunH3038, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. Truly my soulH5315 waitethH1747 upon GodH430: from him cometh my salvationH3444. {Truly: or, Only} {waiteth: Heb. is silent}
He only is my rockH6697 and my salvationH3444; he is my defenceH4869; I shall not be greatlyH7227 movedH4131. {defence: Heb. high place}
How long will ye imagine mischiefH2050 against a manH376? ye shall be slainH7523 all of you: as a bowingH5186 wallH7023 shall ye be, and as a totteringH1760 fenceH1447.
O GodH430, how long shall the adversaryH6862 reproachH2778? shall the enemyH341 blasphemeH5006 thy nameH8034 for everH5331?
To the chief MusicianH5329 on NeginothH5058, A PsalmH4210 or SongH7892 of AsaphH623. In JudahH3063 is GodH430 knownH3045: his nameH8034 is greatH1419 in IsraelH3478. {of: or, for}
In SalemH8004 also is his tabernacleH5520, and his dwelling placeH4585 in ZionH6726.
There brakeH7665 he the arrowsH7565 of the bowH7198, the shieldH4043, and the swordH2719, and the battleH4421. SelahH5542.
A SongH7892 of degreesH4609. Unto thee lift I upH5375 mine eyesH5869, O thou that dwellestH3427 in the heavensH8064.
Behold, as the eyesH5869 of servantsH5650 look unto the handH3027 of their mastersH113, and as the eyesH5869 of a maidenH8198 unto the handH3027 of her mistressH1404; so our eyesH5869 wait upon the LORDH3068 our GodH430, until that he have mercyH2603 upon us.
Have mercyH2603 upon us, O LORDH3068, have mercyH2603 upon us: for we are exceedinglyH7227 filledH7646 with contemptH937.
Our soulH5315 is exceedinglyH7227 filledH7646 with the scorningH3933 of those that are at easeH7600, and with the contemptH937 of the proudH3238+H1343+H1349.
I stretch forthH6566 my handsH3027 unto thee: my soulH5315 thirsteth after thee, as a thirstyH5889 landH776. SelahH5542.
Let the priestsH3548, the ministersH8334 of the LORDH3068, weepH1058 between the porchH197 and the altarH4196, and let them sayH559, SpareH2347 thy peopleH5971, O LORDH3068, and giveH5414 not thine heritageH5159 to reproachH2781, that the heathenH1471 should rule overH4910 them: wherefore should they sayH559 among the peopleH5971, Where is their GodH430? {rule over: or, use a byword against}
Then will the LORDH3068 be jealousH7065 for his landH776, and pityH2550 his peopleH5971.
Yea, the LORDH3068 will answerH6030 and sayH559 unto his peopleH5971, Behold, I will sendH7971 you cornH1715, and wineH8492, and oilH3323, and ye shall be satisfiedH7646 therewith: and I will no more makeH5414 you a reproachH2781 among the heathenH1471:
But I will remove far offH7368 from you the northernH6830 army, and will driveH5080 him into a landH776 barrenH6723 and desolateH8077, with his faceH6440 toward the eastH6931 seaH3220, and his hinder partH5490 toward the utmostH314 seaH3220, and his stinkH889 shall come upH5927, and his ill savourH6709 shall come upH5927, because he hath doneH6213 great thingsH1431. {hath…: Heb. hath magnified to do}
