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}

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?

For he saithH559, By the strengthH3581 of my handH3027 I have doneH6213 it, and by my wisdomH2451; for I am prudentH995: and I have removedH5493 the boundsH1367 of the peopleH5971, and have robbedH8154 their treasuresH6259+H6264, and I have put downH3381 the inhabitantsH3427 like a valiantH47+H3524 man: {a valiant…: or, many people}
And my handH3027 hath foundH4672 as a nestH7064 the richesH2428 of the peopleH5971: and as one gatherethH622 eggsH1000 that are leftH5800, have I gatheredH622 all the earthH776; and there was none that movedH5074 the wingH3671, or openedH6475 the mouthH6310, or peepedH6850.
Shall the axeH1631 boastH6286 itself against him that hewethH2672 therewith? or shall the sawH4883 magnifyH1431 itself against him that shakethH5130 it? as if the rodH7626 should shakeH5130 itself against them that lift it upH7311, or as if the staffH4294 should lift upH7311 itself, as if it were no woodH6086. {the rod…: or, a rod should shake them that lift it up} {itself, as if…: or, that which is not wood}
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the remnantH7605 of IsraelH3478, and such as are escapedH6413 of the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, shall no more againH3254 stayH8172 upon him that smoteH5221 them; but shall stayH8172 upon the LORDH3068, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, in truthH571.
And PharaohH6547 saidH559, Who is the LORDH3068, that I should obeyH8085 his voiceH6963 to let IsraelH3478 goH7971? I knowH3045 not the LORDH3068, neither will I let IsraelH3478 goH7971.
For thou hast saidH559 in thine heartH3824, I will ascendH5927 into heavenH8064, I will exaltH7311 my throneH3678 aboveH4605 the starsH3556 of GodH410: I will sitH3427 also upon the mountH2022 of the congregationH4150, in the sidesH3411 of the northH6828:
Cry outH6670 and shoutH7442, thou inhabitantH3427 of ZionH6726: for greatH1419 is the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 in the midstH7130 of thee. {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
It may beH194 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 will hearH8085 all 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 are leftH4672. {left: Heb. found}
I will ascendH5927 above the heightsH1116 of the cloudsH5645; I will be likeH1819 the most HighH5945.
At that dayH3117 shall a manH120 lookH8159 to his MakerH6213, and his eyesH5869 shall have respectH7200 to the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478.
Whom hast thou reproachedH2778 and blasphemedH1442? and against whom hast thou exaltedH7311 thy voiceH6963, and lifted upH5375 thine eyesH5869 on highH4791? even against the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478.

He wroteH3789 also lettersH5612 to railH2778 on the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, and to speakH559 against him, sayingH559, As the godsH430 of the nationsH1471 of other landsH776 have not deliveredH5337 their peopleH5971 out of mine handH3027, so shall not the GodH430 of HezekiahH3169 deliverH5337 his peopleH5971 out of mine handH3027.
There is a generationH1755, O how loftyH7311 are their eyesH5869! and their eyelidsH6079 are lifted upH5375.
Wherefore thus saithH559 the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, Because ye despiseH3988 this wordH1697, and trustH982 in oppressionH6233 and perversenessH3868, and stayH8172 thereon: {oppression: or, fraud}

SonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 unto the princeH5057 of TyrusH6865, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thine heartH3820 is lifted upH1361, and thou hast saidH559, I am a GodH410, I sitH3427 in the seatH4186 of GodH430, in the midstH3820 of the seasH3220; yet thou art a manH120, and not GodH410, though thou setH5414 thine heartH3820 as the heartH3820 of GodH430: {midst: Heb. heart}
FearH3372 not, thou wormH8438 JacobH3290, and ye menH4962 of IsraelH3478; I will helpH5826 thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and thy redeemerH1350, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478. {men: or, few men}
They setH8371 their mouthH6310 against the heavensH8064, and their tongueH3956 walkethH1980 through the earthH776.
Wilt thou yetH559 sayH559 beforeH6440 him that slayethH2026 thee, I am GodH430? but thou shalt be a manH120, and no GodH410, in the handH3027 of him that slayethH2490 thee. {of him that slayeth: or, of him that woundeth}
Thou shalt fanH2219 them, and the windH7307 shall carry them awayH5375, and the whirlwindH5591 shall scatterH6327 them: and thou shalt rejoiceH1523 in the LORDH3068, and shalt gloryH1984 in the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
RememberH2142 this, that the enemyH341 hath reproachedH2778, O LORDH3068, and that the foolishH5036 peopleH5971 have blasphemedH5006 thy nameH8034.
But when his heartH3825 was lifted upH7313, and his mindH7308 hardenedH8631 in prideH2103, he was deposedH5182 fromH4481 his kinglyH4437 throneH3764, and they tookH5709 his gloryH3367 from himH4481: {in pride: or, to deal proudly} {deposed: Cald. made to come down}
And he was drivenH2957 fromH4481 the sonsH1123 of menH606; and his heartH3825 was madeH7739 likeH5974 the beastsH2423, and his dwellingH4070 was with the wild assesH6167: they fedH2939 him with grassH6211 like oxenH8450, and his bodyH1655 was wetH6647 with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065; tillH5705 he knewH3046 that the most highH5943 GodH426 ruledH7990 in the kingdomH4437 of menH606, and that he appointethH6966 overH5922 it whomsoeverH4479 he willH6634. {his heart…: or, he made his heart equal, etc}
And thouH607 his sonH1247, O BelshazzarH1113, hast notH3809 humbledH8214 thine heartH3825, thoughH6903 thou knewestH3046 allH3606 thisH1836;
But hast lifted upH7313 thyself againstH5922 the LordH4756 of heavenH8065; and they have broughtH858 the vesselsH3984 of his houseH1005 beforeH6925 thee, and thouH607, and thy lordsH7261, thy wivesH7695, and thy concubinesH3904, have drunkH8355 wineH2562 in them; and thou hast praisedH7624 the godsH426 of silverH3702, and goldH1722, of brassH5174, ironH6523, woodH636, and stoneH69, which seeH2370 notH3809, norH3809 hearH8086, norH3809 knowH3046: and the GodH426 in whose handH3028 thy breathH5396 is, and whose are allH3606 thy waysH735, hast thou notH3809 glorifiedH1922:
For I am the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, thy SaviourH3467: I gaveH5414 EgyptH4714 for thy ransomH3724, EthiopiaH3568 and SebaH5434 for thee.
ForgetH7911 not the voiceH6963 of thine enemiesH6887: the tumultH7588 of those that rise upH6965 against thee increasethH5927 continuallyH8548. {increaseth: Heb. ascendeth}
And he shall speakH4449 great wordsH4406 againstH6655 the most HighH5943, and shall wear outH1080 the saintsH6922 of the most HighH5946, and thinkH5452 to changeH8133 timesH2166 and lawsH1882: and they shall be givenH3052 into his handH3028 untilH5705 a timeH5732 and timesH5732 and the dividingH6387 of timeH5732.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, your redeemerH1350, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478; For your sake I have sentH7971 to BabylonH894, and have brought downH3381 all their noblesH1281, and the ChaldeansH3778, whose cryH7440 is in the shipsH591. {nobles: Heb. bars}
AndG2532 I stoodG2476 uponG1909 the sandG285 of the seaG2281, andG2532 sawG1492 a beastG2342 rise upG305 out ofG1537 the seaG2281, havingG2192 sevenG2033 headsG2776 andG2532 tenG1176 hornsG2768, andG2532 uponG1909 hisG846 hornsG2768 tenG1176 crownsG1238, andG2532 uponG1909 hisG846 headsG2776 the nameG3686 of blasphemyG988. {name: or, names}
AndG2532 the beastG2342 whichG3739 I sawG1492 wasG2258 likeG3664 unto a leopardG3917, andG2532 hisG846 feetG4228 were asG5613 the feet of a bearG715, andG2532 hisG846 mouthG4750 asG5613 the mouthG4750 of a lionG3023: andG2532 the dragonG1404 gaveG1325 himG846 hisG846 powerG1411, andG2532 hisG846 seatG2362, andG2532 greatG3173 authorityG1849.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 oneG3391 of hisG846 headsG2776 as it wereG5613 woundedG4969 toG1519 deathG2288; andG2532 hisG846 deadlyG2288 woundG4127 was healedG2323: andG2532 allG3650 the worldG1093 wonderedG2296 afterG3694+G1722 the beastG2342. {wounded: Gr. slain}
AndG2532 they worshippedG4352 the dragonG1404 whichG3739 gaveG1325 powerG1849 unto the beastG2342: andG2532 they worshippedG4352 the beastG2342, sayingG3004, WhoG5101 is likeG3664 unto the beastG2342? whoG5101 is ableG1410 to make warG4170 withG3326 himG846?
AndG2532 there was givenG1325 unto himG846 a mouthG4750 speakingG2980 great thingsG3173 andG2532 blasphemiesG988; andG2532 powerG1849 was givenG1325 unto himG846 to continueG4160 fortyG5062 and twoG1417 monthsG3376. {to continue: or, to make war}
AndG2532 he openedG455 hisG846 mouthG4750 inG1519 blasphemyG988 againstG4314 GodG2316, to blasphemeG987 hisG846 nameG3686, andG2532 hisG846 tabernacleG4633, andG2532 them that dwellG4637 inG1722 heavenG3772.
WhoG3588 opposethG480 andG2532 exaltethG5229 himself aboveG1909 allG3956 that is calledG3004 GodG2316, orG2228 that is worshippedG4574; soG5620 that heG846 asG5613 GodG2316 sittethG2523 inG1519 the templeG3485 of GodG2316, shewingG584 himselfG1438 thatG3754 he isG2076 GodG2316.
Who is like unto thee, O LORDH3068, among the godsH410? who is like thee, gloriousH142 in holinessH6944, fearfulH3372 in praisesH8416, doingH6213 wondersH6382? {gods: or, mighty ones?}
So will I make my holyH6944 nameH8034 knownH3045 in the midstH8432 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; and I will not let them polluteH2490 my holyH6944 nameH8034 any more: and the heathenH1471 shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, the Holy OneH6918 in IsraelH3478.
Art thou not from everlastingH6924, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, mine Holy OneH6918? we shall not dieH4191. O LORDH3068, thou hast ordainedH7760 them for judgmentH4941; and, O mighty GodH6697, thou hast establishedH3245 them for correctionH3198. {mighty…: Heb. rock. established: Heb. founded}
Thou art of purerH2889 eyesH5869 than to beholdH7200 evilH7451, and canstH3201 not lookH5027 on iniquityH5999: wherefore lookestH5027 thou upon them that deal treacherouslyH898, and holdest thy tongueH2790 when the wickedH7563 devourethH1104 the man that is more righteousH6662 than he? {iniquity: or, grievance}
