1: And so it was,H1961 when heard [it]H8085 KingH4428 HezekiahH2396 that he toreH7167 -H0853 his clothes,H0899 and covered himselfH3680 with sackcloth,H8242 and went intoH0935 the houseH1004 of Yahweh.H3068

2: And he sentH7971 -H0853 Eliakim,H0471 who [was]H0834 overH5921 the household,H1004 andH0853 ShebnaH7644 the scribe,H5608 andH0853 the eldersH2205 of the priestsH3548 coveredH3680 with sackcloth,H8242 toH0413 IsaiahH3470 sonH1121 of AmozH0531 the prophet.H5030

3: And they saidH0559 to himH0413 thusH3541 saysH0559 Hezekiah,H2396 a dayH3117 of trouble,H6869 and rebuke,H8433 and blasphemy-H5007 day [is]H3117 thisH2088 forH3588 have comeH0935 the sonsH1121 toH5704 birth,H4866 but strengthH3581 [there is] noH0369 to bring them forth.H3205

4: It may be thatH0194 will hearH8085 YahwehH3069 your GodH0430 -H0853 the wordsH1697 the Rabshakeh,H7262 whomH0834 has sentH7971 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH0804 his masterH0113 to reproachH2778 the God,H0430 livingH2416 and will rebukeH3198 the wordsH1697 whichH0834 has heard.H8085 YahwehH3069 your GodH0430 therefore lift upH5375 [your] prayerH8605 forH1157 the remnantH7611 that is left.H4672

5: So cameH0935 the servantsH5650 of KingH4428 HezekiahH2396 toH0413 Isaiah.H3470

6: And saidH0559 to themH0413 IsaiahH3470 thusH3541 shall you sayH0559 toH0413 your master,H0113 thusH3541 saysH0559 Yahweh,H3068 notH0408 do be afraidH3372 ofH6440 the wordsH1697 whichH0834 you have heard,H8085 with whichH0834 have blasphemedH1442 the servantsH5288 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH0804 Me.H0853

7: SurelyH2005 I will sendH5414 a spiritH7307 and he shall hearH8085 a rumor,H8052 and returnH7725 toH0413 his own land-H0776 and I will cause him to fallH5307 by the swordH2719 in his own land.H0776

8: And returned,H7725 the RabshakehH7262 and foundH4672 -H0853 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH0804 warringH3898 againstH5921 Libnah,H3841 forH3588 he heardH8085 thatH3588 he had departedH5265 from Lachish.H3923

9: And the king heardH8085 concerningH5921 TirhakahH8640 kingH4428 of Ethiopia,H3568 sayH0559 He has come outH3318 to make warH3898 with youH0854 so when he heard [it]H8085 and he sentH7971 messengersH4397 toH0413 Hezekiah,H2396 saying,H0559

10: thusH3541 you shall speakH0559 toH0413 HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of Judah,H3063 saying,H0559 notH0408 do let deceive youH5377 your God,H0430 in whomH0834 youH0859 trust,H0982 saying,H0559 notH3808 shall be givenH5414 JerusalemH3389 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of Assyria.H0804

11: Look,H2009 YouH0859 have heardH8085 whatH0834 have doneH6213 the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH0804 to allH3605 landsH0776 by utterly destroying them-H2763 and youH0859 shall be delivered?H5337

12: have deliveredH5337 thoseH0853 the godsH0430 of the nationsH1471 whomH0834 have destroyed,H7843 my fathersH0001 -H0853 Gozan,H1470 andH0853 Haran,H2771 and Rezeph,H7530 and the sonsH1121 of EdenH5729 who [were]H0834 in Telassar?H8515

13: where [is]H0346 the kingH4428 of Hamath,H2574 and the kingH4428 of Arpad,H0774 and the kingH4428 of the cityH5892 of Sepharvaim,H5617 Hena,H2012 and Ivah?H5755

14: and receivedH3947 HezekiahH2396 -H0853 the letterH5612 from the handH3027 of the messengers,H4397 and read itH7121 and went upH5927 to the houseH1004 of Yahweh,H3068 and spread itH6566 HezekiahH2396 beforeH6440 Yahweh.H3068

15: And prayedH6419 HezekiahH2396 toH0413 Yahweh,H3068 saying,H0559

16: YahwehH3068 of hosts,H6635 GodH0430 of Israel,H3478 [the One] who dwellsH3427 [between] the cherubim,H3742 YouH0859 areH1931 God,H0430 You alone,H0905 of allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the earth.H0776 YouH0859 have madeH6213 -H0853 heavenH8064 andH0853 earth.H0776

17: InclineH5186 Yahweh,H3068 Your ear,H0241 and hear-H8085 openH6491 Yahweh,H3068 Your eyes,H5869 and see-H7200 and hearH8085 -H0853 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of Sennacherib,H5576 whichH0834 he has sentH7971 to reproachH2778 the GodH0430 living.H2416

18: Truly,H0551 Yahweh,H3068 have laid wasteH2717 the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH0804 -H0853 allH3605 the nations,H0776 andH0853 their lands,H0776

19: and have castH5414 -H0853 their godsH0430 into the fire,H0784 forH3588 notH3808 gods,H0430 they [were]H1992 forH3588 butH0518 the workH4639 of hands,H3027 of menH0120 woodH6086 and stoneH0068 therefore they have destroyed them.H0006

20: Therefore nowH6258 YahwehH3068 our God,H0430 save usH3467 from his hand,H3027 that may knowH3045 allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH0776 thatH3588 You [are]H0859 Yahweh,H3068 You alone.H0905

21: And sentH7971 IsaiahH3470 sonH1121 of AmozH0531 toH0413 Hezekiah,H2396 saying,H0559 thusH3541 saysH0559 YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of Israel,H3478 becauseH0834 you have prayedH6419 to MeH0413 againstH0413 SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of Assyria,H0804

22: this [is]H2088 the wordH1697 whichH0834 has spokenH1696 YahwehH3068 concerning himH5921 Has despisedH0959 laughed to scorn-H3932 the virgin,H1330 the daughterH1323 of Zion,H6726 behind your backH0310 [her] headH7218 Has shakenH5128 the daughterH1323 of Jerusalem.H3389

23: -H0853 WhomH4310 have you reproachedH2778 and blasphemed?H1442 and AgainstH5921 whomH4310 have you raisedH7311 [your] voice,H6963 and lifted upH5375 on high?H4791 your eyesH5869 AgainstH0413 the Holy oneH6918 of Israel.H3478

24: ByH3027 your servantsH5650 you have reproachedH2778 the Lord,H0136 and said,H0559 by the multitudeH7230 of my chariotsH7393 IH0589 have come upH5927 to the heightH4791 of the mountains,H2022 to the limitsH3411 of Lebanon-H3844 and I will cut downH3772 tallH6967 its cedarsH0730 choiceH4005 [And] its cypress treesH1265 and I will enterH0935 heightH4791 its farthest,H7093 to forestH3293 its fruitful.H3759

25: IH0589 have dug,H6979 and drunkH8354 water-H4325 and I have dried upH2717 with the solesH3709 of my feetH6471 allH3605 the brooksH2975 of Egypt.H4693

26: Did notH3808 you hearH8085 long ago,H7350 itH0853 [How] I madeH6213 from times,H3117 ancientH6924 that I formed itH3335 nowH6258 I have brought it to pass,H0935 that you should beH1961 for crushingH7582 [into] heaps.H1530 Of ruinsH5327 citiesH5892 fortified.H1219

27: Therefore their inhabitants [had]H3427 littleH7116 power,H3027 they were dismayedH2865 and confounded-H0954 they wereH1961 [as] the grassH6212 of the field,H7704 and the greenH3419 herb,H1877 [As] the grass onH2682 the housetops,H1406 and [grain] blightedH7709 beforeH6440 it is grown.H7054

28: But your dwelling place,H3427 and Your going out,H3318 and your coming in,H0935 I knowH3045 andH0853 your rageH7264 against Me.H0413

29: BecauseH3282 your rageH7264 against MeH0413 and your tumult,H7600 have come upH5927 to My ears,H0241 therefore I will putH7760 My hookH2397 in your nose,H0639 and My bridleH4964 in your lips,H8193 and I will turn you backH7725 by the wayH1870 whichH0834 you cameH0935

30: And this [shall be]H2088 a signH0226 You shall eatH0398 this yearH8141 such as grows of itself-H5599 and yearH8141 the secondH8145 what springs from the same-H7823 and in yearH8141 the thirdH7992 sowH2232 and reap,H7114 and PlantH5193 vineyards,H3754 and eatH0398 the fruit of them.H6529

31: And shall againH3254 who have escapedH6413 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 the remnantH7604 take rootH8328 downward,H4295 and bearH6213 fruitH6529 upward.H4605

32: ForH3588 out of JerusalemH3389 shall goH3318 a remnant,H7611 and those who escapeH6413 from MountH2022 Zion-H6726 the zealH7068 of YahwehH3068 of hostsH6635 will doH6213 this.H2063

33: ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH0559 YahwehH3068 concerningH0413 the kingH4428 of Assyria,H0804 notH3808 He shall comeH0935 intoH0413 city,H5892 thisH2063 norH3808 shootH3384 there,H8033 an arrowH2671 norH3808 come before itH6923 with shield,H4043 norH3808 buildH8210 against itH5921 a siege mound.H5550

34: By the wayH1870 thatH0834 he came,H0935 shall he return,H7725 and intoH0413 city,H5892 thisH2063 notH3808 he shall comeH0935 saysH5002 Yahweh.H3068

35: For I will defendH1598 uponH5921 cityH5892 thisH2063 to save itH3467 for My own sake,H4616 for sake.H4616 Of DavidH1732 My servant.H5650

36: And went out,H3318 the angelH4397 of YahwehH3068 and killedH5221 in the campH4264 of AssyriaH0804 a hundredH3967 and eightyH8084 and fiveH2568 thousand-H0505 and when [people] arose earlyH7925 in the morning,H1242 and there were,H2009 allH3605 the corpsesH6297 dead.H4191

37: So departed,H5265 and went awayH1980 and returned [home],H7725 SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH0804 and remainedH3427 at Nineveh.H5210

38: And it came to pass,H1961 as heH1931 was worshipingH7812 in the houseH1004 of NisrochH5268 his god,H0430 that AdrammelechH0152 and SarezerH8272 his sonsH1121 struck him downH5221 with the sword-H2719 and theyH1992 escapedH4422 into the landH0776 of Ararat.H0780 And reignedH4427 EsarhaddonH0634 his sonH1121 in his place.H8478
