{long...: or, how I have made it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? should I now bring it to be laid waste, and fenced cities to be ruinous heaps?}

19:26

Therefore their inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

were of small
<07116>

power
<03027>_,

they were dismayed
<02865> (8804)

and confounded
<0954> (8799)_;

they were [as] the grass
<06212>

of the field
<07704>_,

and [as] the green
<03419>

herb
<01877>_,

[as] the grass
<02682>

on the housetops
<01406>_,

and [as corn] blasted
<07711>

before
<06440>

it be grown up
<07054>_.

{of small...: Heb. short of hand}

19:27

But I know
<03045> (8804)

thy abode
<03427> (8800)_,

and thy going out
<03318> (8800)_,

and thy coming in
<0935> (8800)_,

and thy rage
<07264> (8692)

against me. {abode: or, sitting}

19:28

Because thy rage
<07264> (8692)

against me and thy tumult
<07600>

is come up
<05927> (8804)

into mine ears
<0241>_,

therefore I will put
<07760> (8804)

my hook
<02397>

in thy nose
<0639>_,

and my bridle
<04964>

in thy lips
<08193>_,

and I will turn thee back
<07725> (8689)

by the way
<01870>

by which thou camest
<0935> (8804)_.

19:29

And this [shall be] a sign
<0226>

unto thee, Ye shall eat
<0398> (8800)

this year
<08141>

such things as grow
<05599>

of themselves, and in the second
<08145>

year
<08141>

that which springeth
<07823>

of the same; and in the third
<07992>

year
<08141>

sow
<02232> (8798)

ye, and reap
<07114> (8798)_,

and plant
<05193> (8798)

vineyards
<03754>_,

and eat
<0398> (8798)

the fruits
<06529>

thereof.

19:30

And the remnant
<07604> (8737)

that is escaped
<06413>

of the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>

shall yet again
<03254> (8804)

take root
<08328>

downward
<04295>_,

and bear
<06213> (8804)

fruit
<06529>

upward
<04605>_.

{remnant...: Heb. escaping of the house of Judah that remaineth}

19:31

For out of Jerusalem
<03389>

shall go forth
<03318> (8799)

a remnant
<07611>_,

and they that escape
<06413>

out of mount
<02022>

Zion
<06726>_:

the zeal
<07068>

of the LORD
<03068>

[of hosts (8675)
<06635>_]

shall do
<06213> (8799)

this. {they...: Heb. the escaping}

19:32

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

concerning the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

He shall not come
<0935> (8799)

into this city
<05892>_,

nor shoot
<03384> (8686)

an arrow
<02671>

there, nor come before
<06923> (8762)

it with shield
<04043>_,

nor cast
<08210> (8799)

a bank
<05550>

against it.

19:33

By the way
<01870>

that he came
<0935> (8799)_,

by the same shall he return
<07725> (8799)_,

and shall not come
<0935> (8799)

into this city
<05892>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

19:34

For I will defend
<01598> (8804)

this city
<05892>_,

to save
<03467> (8687)

it, for mine own sake, and for my servant
<05650>

David's
<01732>

sake.

19:35

And it came to pass that night
<03915>_,

that the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

went out
<03318> (8799)_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

in the camp
<04264>

of the Assyrians
<0804>

an hundred
<03967>

fourscore
<08084>

and five
<02568>

thousand
<0505>_:

and when they arose early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_,

behold, they [were] all dead
<04191> (8801)

corpses
<06297>_.

19:36

So Sennacherib
<05576>

king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

departed
<05265> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

and returned
<07725> (8799)_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

at Nineveh
<05210>_.

19:37

And it came to pass, as he was worshipping
<07812> (8693)

in the house
<01004>

of Nisroch
<05268>

his god
<0430>_,

that Adrammelech
<0152>

and Sharezer
<08272>

his sons
<01121>

smote
<05221> (8689)

him with the sword
<02719>_:

and they escaped
<04422> (8738)

into the land
<0776>

of Armenia
<0780>_.

And Esarhaddon
<0634>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead. {Armenia: Heb. Ararat}

20:1

In those days
<03117>

was Hezekiah
<02396>

sick
<02470> (8804)

unto death
<04191> (8800)_.

And the prophet
<05030>

Isaiah
<03470>

the son
<01121>

of Amoz
<0531>

came
<0935> (8799)

to him, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Set thine house
<01004>

in order
<06680> (8761)_;

for thou shalt die
<04191> (8801)_,

and not live
<02421> (8799)_.

{Set...: Heb. Give charge concerning thine house}

20:2

Then he turned
<05437> (8686)

his face
<06440>

to the wall
<07023>_,

and prayed
<06419> (8691)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

20:3

I beseech
<0577>

thee, O LORD
<03068>_,

remember
<02142> (8798)

now how I have walked
<01980> (8694)

before
<06440>

thee in truth
<0571>

and with a perfect
<08003>

heart
<03824>_,

and have done
<06213> (8804)

[that which is] good
<02896>

in thy sight
<05869>_.

And Hezekiah
<02396>

wept
<01058> (8799) <01065>

sore
<01419>_.

{sore: Heb. with a great weeping}

20:4

And it came to pass, afore Isaiah
<03470>

was gone out
<03318> (8804)

into the middle
<08484>

court
<02691> (8675) <05892>_,

that the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came to him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

{court: or, city}

20:5

Turn again
<07725> (8798)_,

and tell
<0559> (8804)

Hezekiah
<02396>

the captain
<05057>

of my people
<05971>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

the God
<0430>

of David
<01732>

thy father
<01>_,

I have heard
<08085> (8804)

thy prayer
<08605>_,

I have seen
<07200> (8804)

thy tears
<01832>_:

behold, I will heal
<07495> (8802)

thee: on the third
<07992>

day
<03117>

thou shalt go up
<05927> (8799)

unto the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

20:6

And I will add
<03254> (8689)

unto thy days
<03117>

fifteen
<02568> <06240>

years
<08141>_;

and I will deliver
<05337> (8686)

thee and this city
<05892>

out of the hand
<03709>

of the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_;

and I will defend
<01598> (8804)

this city
<05892>

for mine own sake, and for my servant
<05650>

David's
<01732>

sake.

20:7

And Isaiah
<03470>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Take
<03947> (8798)

a lump
<01690>

of figs
<08384>_.

And they took
<03947> (8799)

and laid
<07760> (8799)

[it] on the boil
<07822>_,

and he recovered
<02421> (8799)_.

20:8

And Hezekiah
<02396>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Isaiah
<03470>_,

What [shall be] the sign
<0226>

that the LORD
<03068>

will heal
<07495> (8799)

me, and that I shall go up
<05927> (8804)

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

the third
<07992>

day
<03117>_?

20:9

And Isaiah
<03470>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

This sign
<0226>

shalt thou have of the LORD
<03068>_,

that the LORD
<03068>

will do
<06213> (8799)

the thing
<01697>

that he hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_:

shall the shadow
<06738>

go forward
<01980> (8804)

ten
<06235>

degrees
<04609>_,

or go back
<07725> (8799)

ten
<06235>

degrees
<04609>_?

20:10

And Hezekiah
<03169>

answered
<0559> (8799)_,

It is a light thing
<07043> (8738)

for the shadow
<06738>

to go down
<05186> (8800)

ten
<06235>

degrees
<04609>_:

nay, but let the shadow
<06738>

return
<07725> (8799)

backward
<0322>

ten
<06235>

degrees
<04609>_.

20:11

And Isaiah
<03470>

the prophet
<05030>

cried
<07121> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>_:

and he brought
<07725> (8686)

the shadow
<06738>

ten
<06235>

degrees
<04609>

backward
<0322>_,

by
<04609>

which it had gone down
<03381> (8804)

in the dial
<04609>

of Ahaz
<0271>_.

{dial: Heb. degrees}

20:12

At that time
<06256>

Berodachbaladan
<01255>_,

the son
<01121>

of Baladan
<01081>_,

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

sent
<07971> (8804)

letters
<05612>

and a present
<04503>

unto Hezekiah
<02396>_:

for he had heard
<08085> (8804)

that Hezekiah
<02396>

had been sick
<02470> (8804)_.

{Berodachbaladan: or, Merodachbaladan}

20:13

And Hezekiah
<02396>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

unto them, and shewed
<07200> (8686)

them all the house
<01004>

of his precious things
<05238>_,

the silver
<03701>_,

and the gold
<02091>_,

and the spices
<01314>_,

and the precious
<02896>

ointment
<08081>_,

and [all] the house
<01004>

of his armour
<03627>_,

and all that was found
<04672> (8738)

in his treasures
<0214>_:

there was nothing
<01697>

in his house
<01004>_,

nor in all his dominion
<04475>_,

that Hezekiah
<02396>

shewed
<07200> (8689)

them not. {precious things: or, spicery} {armour: or, jewels: Heb. vessels}

20:14

Then came
<0935> (8799)

Isaiah
<03470>

the prophet
<05030>

unto king
<04428>

Hezekiah
<02396>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, What said
<0559> (8804)

these men
<0582>_?

and from whence
<0370>

came
<0935> (8799)

they unto thee? And Hezekiah
<02396>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

They are come
<0935> (8804)

from a far
<07350>

country
<0776>_,

[even] from Babylon
<0894>_.

20:15

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

What have they seen
<07200> (8804)

in thine house
<01004>_?

And Hezekiah
<02396>

answered
<0559> (8799)_,

All [the things] that [are] in mine house
<01004>

have they seen
<07200> (8804)_:

there is nothing
<01697>

among my treasures
<0214>

that I have not shewed
<07200> (8689)

them.

20:16

And Isaiah
<03470>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Hezekiah
<02396>_,

Hear
<08085> (8798)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

20:17

Behold, the days
<03117>

come
<0935> (8802)_,

that all that [is] in thine house
<01004>_,

and that which thy fathers
<01>

have laid up in store
<0686> (8804)

unto this day
<03117>_,

shall be carried
<05375> (8738)

into Babylon
<0894>_:

nothing
<01697>

shall be left
<03498> (8735)_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.

20:18

And of thy sons
<01121>

that shall issue
<03318> (8799)

from thee, which thou shalt beget
<03205> (8686)_,

shall they take away
<03947> (8799)_;

and they shall be eunuchs
<05631>

in the palace
<01964>

of the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_.

20:19

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Hezekiah
<02396>

unto Isaiah
<03470>_,

Good
<02896>

[is] the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

which thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Is it] not [good], if peace
<07965>

and truth
<0571>

be in my days
<03117>_?

{Is it...: or, Shall there not be peace and truth, etc}

20:20

And the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Hezekiah
<02396>_,

and all his might
<01369>_,

and how he made
<06213> (8804)

a pool
<01295>_,

and a conduit
<08585>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

water
<04325>

into the city
<05892>_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_?

20:21

And Hezekiah
<02396>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_:

and Manasseh
<04519>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

2 Kings 20:2

20:2

Then he turned
<05437> (8686)

his face
<06440>

to the wall
<07023>_,

and prayed
<06419> (8691)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

2 Kings 1:1

1:1

Then Moab
<04124>

rebelled
<06586> (8799)

against Israel
<03478>

after
<0310>

the death
<04194>

of Ahab
<0256>_.

2 Kings 1:1-18

1:1

Then Moab
<04124>

rebelled
<06586> (8799)

against Israel
<03478>

after
<0310>

the death
<04194>

of Ahab
<0256>_.

1:2

And Ahaziah
<0274>

fell down
<05307> (8799)

through a lattice
<07639>

in his upper chamber
<05944>

that [was] in Samaria
<08111>_,

and was sick
<02470> (8799)_:

and he sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Go
<03212> (8798)_,

enquire
<01875> (8798)

of Baalzebub
<01176>

the god
<0430>

of Ekron
<06138>

whether I shall recover
<02421> (8799)

of this disease
<02483>_.

1:3

But the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

said
<01696> (8765)

to Elijah
<0452>

the Tishbite
<08664>_,

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

go up
<05927> (8798)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

the messengers
<04397>

of the king
<04428>

of Samaria
<08111>_,

and say
<01696> (8761)

unto them, [Is it] not because [there is] not a God
<0430>

in Israel
<03478>_,

[that] ye go
<01980> (8802)

to enquire
<01875> (8800)

of Baalzebub
<01176>

the god
<0430>

of Ekron
<06138>_?

1:4

Now therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Thou shalt not come down
<03381> (8799)

from that bed
<04296>

on which thou art gone up
<05927> (8804)_,

but shalt surely
<04191> (8800)

die
<04191> (8799)_.

And Elijah
<0452>

departed
<03212> (8799)_.

{Thou shalt...: Heb. The bed whither thou art gone up, thou shalt not come down from it}

1:5

And when the messengers
<04397>

turned back
<07725> (8799)

unto him, he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Why are ye now
<02088>

turned back
<07725> (8804)_?

1:6

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, There came
<05927> (0)

a man
<0376>

up
<05927> (8804)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

us, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto us, Go
<03212> (8798)_,

turn again
<07725> (8798)

unto the king
<04428>

that sent
<07971> (8804)

you, and say
<01696> (8765)

unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

[Is it] not because [there is] not a God
<0430>

in Israel
<03478>_,

[that] thou sendest
<07971> (8802)

to enquire
<01875> (8800)

of Baalzebub
<01176>

the god
<0430>

of Ekron
<06138>_?

therefore thou shalt not come down
<03381> (8799)

from that bed
<04296>

on which thou art gone up
<05927> (8804)_,

but shalt surely
<04191> (8800)

die
<04191> (8799)_.

1:7

And he said
<01696> (8762)

unto them, What manner
<04941>

of man
<0376>

[was he] which came up
<05927> (8804)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

you, and told
<01696> (8762)

you these words
<01697>_?

{What...: Heb. What was the manner of the man}

1:8

And they answered
<0559> (8799)

him, [He was] an hairy
<08181>

man
<01167> <0376>_,

and girt
<0247> (8803)

with a girdle
<0232>

of leather
<05785>

about his loins
<04975>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

It [is] Elijah
<0452>

the Tishbite
<08664>_.

1:9

Then the king
<04428>

sent
<07971> (8799)

unto him a captain
<08269>

of fifty
<02572>

with his fifty
<02572>_.

And he went up
<05927> (8799)

to him: and, behold, he sat
<03427> (8802)

on the top
<07218>

of an hill
<02022>_.

And he spake
<01696> (8762)

unto him, Thou man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

the king
<04428>

hath said
<01696> (8765)_,

Come down
<03381> (8798)_.

1:10

And Elijah
<0452>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<01696> (8762)

to the captain
<08269>

of fifty
<02572>_,

If I [be] a man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

then let fire
<0784>

come down
<03381> (8799)

from heaven
<08064>_,

and consume
<0398> (8799)

thee and thy fifty
<02572>_.

And there came down
<03381> (8799)

fire
<0784>

from heaven
<08064>_,

and consumed
<0398> (8799)

him and his fifty
<02572>_.

1:11

Again
<07725> (8799)

also he sent
<07971> (8799)

unto him another
<0312>

captain
<08269>

of fifty
<02572>

with his fifty
<02572>_.

And he answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<01696> (8762)

unto him, O man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

thus hath the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8804)_,

Come down
<03381> (8798)

quickly
<04120>_.

1:12

And Elijah
<0452>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<01696> (8762)

unto them, If I [be] a man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

let fire
<0784>

come down
<03381> (8799)

from heaven
<08064>_,

and consume
<0398> (8799)

thee and thy fifty
<02572>_.

And the fire
<0784>

of God
<0430>

came down
<03381> (8799)

from heaven
<08064>_,

and consumed
<0398> (8799)

him and his fifty
<02572>_.

1:13

And he sent
<07971> (8799)

again
<07725> (8799)

a captain
<08269>

of the third
<07992>

fifty
<02572>

with his fifty
<02572>_.

And the third
<07992>

captain
<08269>

of fifty
<02572>

went up
<05927> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

and fell
<03766> (8799)

on his knees
<01290>

before
<05048>

Elijah
<0452>_,

and besought
<02603> (8691)

him, and said
<01696> (8762)

unto him, O man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

I pray thee, let my life
<05315>_,

and the life
<05315>

of these fifty
<02572>

thy servants
<05650>_,

be precious
<03365> (8799)

in thy sight
<05869>_.

{fell: Heb. bowed}

1:14

Behold, there came
<03381> (0)

fire
<0784>

down
<03381> (8804)

from heaven
<08064>_,

and burnt up
<0398> (8799)

the two
<08147>

captains
<08269>

of the former
<07223>

fifties
<02572>

with their fifties
<02572>_:

therefore let my life
<05315>

now be precious
<03365> (8799)

in thy sight
<05869>_.

1:15

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

said
<01696> (8762)

unto Elijah
<0452>_,

Go down
<03381> (8798)

with him: be not afraid
<03372> (8799)

of him
<06440>_.

And he arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and went down
<03381> (8799)

with him unto the king
<04428>_.

1:16

And he said
<01696> (8762)

unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Forasmuch as thou hast sent
<07971> (8804)

messengers
<04397>

to enquire
<01875> (8800)

of Baalzebub
<01176>

the god
<0430>

of Ekron
<06138>_,

[is it] not because [there is] no God
<0430>

in Israel
<03478>

to enquire
<01875> (8800)

of his word
<01697>_?

therefore thou shalt not come down
<03381> (8799)

off that bed
<04296>

on which thou art gone up
<05927> (8804)_,

but shalt surely
<04191> (8800)

die
<04191> (8799)_.

1:17

So he died
<04191> (8799)

according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

which Elijah
<0452>

had spoken
<01696> (8765)_.

And Jehoram
<03088>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead in the second
<08147>

year
<08141>

of Jehoram
<03088>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoshaphat
<03092>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_;

because he had no son
<01121>_.

1:18

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Ahaziah
<0274>

which he did
<06213> (8804)_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_?

2 Kings 1:1

1:1

Then Moab
<04124>

rebelled
<06586> (8799)

against Israel
<03478>

after
<0310>

the death
<04194>

of Ahab
<0256>_.

Isaiah 36:1--39:8

36:1

Now it came to pass in the fourteenth
<0702> <06240>

year
<08141>

of king
<04428>

Hezekiah
<02396>_,

[that] Sennacherib
<05576>

king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

came up
<05927> (8804)

against all the defenced
<01219> (8803)

cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and took
<08610> (8799)

them.

36:2

And the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

sent
<07971> (8799)

Rabshakeh
<07262>

from Lachish
<03923>

to Jerusalem
<03389>

unto king
<04428>

Hezekiah
<02396>

with a great
<03515>

army
<02426>_.

And he stood
<05975> (8799)

by the conduit
<08585>

of the upper
<05945>

pool
<01295>

in the highway
<04546>

of the fuller's
<03526> (8801)

field
<07704>_.

36:3

Then came forth
<03318> (8799)

unto him Eliakim
<0471>_,

Hilkiah's
<02518>

son
<01121>_,

which was over the house
<01004>_,

and Shebna
<07644>

the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,

and Joah
<03098>_,

Asaph's
<0623>

son
<01121>_,

the recorder
<02142> (8688)_.

{scribe: or, secretary}

36:4

And Rabshakeh
<07262>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Say
<0559> (8798)

ye now to Hezekiah
<02396>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the great
<01419>

king
<04428>_,

the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

What confidence
<0986>

[is] this wherein thou trustest
<0982> (8804)_?

36:5

I say
<0559> (8804)_,

[sayest thou], (but [they are but] vain
<08193>

words
<01697>)

[I have] counsel
<06098>

and strength
<01369>

for war
<04421>_:

now on whom dost thou trust
<0982> (8804)_,

that thou rebellest
<04775> (8804)

against me? {vain...: Heb. a word of lips} {I have...: or, but counsel and strength are for the war}

36:6

Lo, thou trustest
<0982> (8804)

in the staff
<04938>

of this broken
<07533> (8803)

reed
<07070>_,

on Egypt
<04714>_;

whereon if a man
<0376>

lean
<05564> (8735)_,

it will go
<0935> (8804)

into his hand
<03709>_,

and pierce
<05344> (8804)

it: so [is] Pharaoh
<06547>

king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>

to all that trust
<0982> (8802)

in him.

36:7

But if thou say
<0559> (8799)

to me, We trust
<0982> (8804)

in the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_:

[is it] not he, whose high places
<01116>

and whose altars
<04196>

Hezekiah
<02396>

hath taken away
<05493> (8689)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

to Judah
<03063>

and to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

Ye shall worship
<07812> (8691)

before
<06440>

this altar
<04196>_?

36:8

Now therefore give pledges
<06148> (8690)_,

I pray thee, to my master
<0113>

the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

and I will give
<05414> (8799)

thee two thousand
<0505>

horses
<05483>_,

if thou be able
<03201> (8799)

on thy part to set
<05414> (8800)

riders
<07392> (8802)

upon them. {pledges: or, hostages}

36:9

How then wilt thou turn away
<07725> (8686)

the face
<06440>

of one
<0259>

captain
<06346>

of the least
<06996>

of my master's
<0113>

servants
<05650>_,

and put thy trust
<0982> (8799)

on Egypt
<04714>

for chariots
<07393>

and for horsemen
<06571>_?

36:10

And am I now come up
<05927> (8804)

without
<01107>

the LORD
<03068>

against this land
<0776>

to destroy
<07843> (8687)

it? the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8804)

unto me, Go up
<05927> (8798)

against this land
<0776>_,

and destroy
<07843> (8685)

it.

36:11

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Eliakim
<0471>

and Shebna
<07644>

and Joah
<03098>

unto Rabshakeh
<07262>_,

Speak
<01696> (8761)_,

I pray thee, unto thy servants
<05650>

in the Syrian language
<0762>_;

for we understand
<08085> (8802)

[it]: and speak
<01696> (8762)

not to us in the Jews' language
<03066>_,

in the ears
<0241>

of the people
<05971>

that [are] on the wall
<02346>_.

36:12

But Rabshakeh
<07262>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hath my master
<0113>

sent
<07971> (8804)

me to thy master
<0113>

and to thee to speak
<01696> (8763)

these words
<01697>_?

[hath he] not [sent me] to the men
<0582>

that sit
<03427> (8802)

upon the wall
<02346>_,

that they may eat
<0398> (8800)

their own dung
<02716> (8676) <06675>_,

and drink
<08354> (8800)

their own piss
<04325> <07272> (8675) <07890>

with you?

36:13

Then Rabshakeh
<07262>

stood
<05975> (8799)_,

and cried
<07121> (8799)

with a loud
<01419>

voice
<06963>

in the Jews' language
<03066>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hear
<08085> (8798)

ye the words
<01697>

of the great
<01419>

king
<04428>_,

the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_.

36:14

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the king
<04428>_,

Let not Hezekiah
<02396>

deceive
<05377> (8686)

you: for he shall not be able
<03201> (8799)

to deliver
<05337> (8687)

you.

36:15

Neither let Hezekiah
<02396>

make you trust
<0982> (8686)

in the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The LORD
<03068>

will surely
<05337> (8687)

deliver
<05337> (8686)

us: this city
<05892>

shall not be delivered
<05414> (8735)

into the hand
<03027>

of the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_.

36:16

Hearken
<08085> (8799)

not to Hezekiah
<02396>_:

for thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

Make
<06213> (8798)

[an agreement] with me [by] a present
<01293>_,

and come out
<03318> (8798)

to me: and eat
<0398> (8798)

ye every one
<0376>

of his vine
<01612>_,

and every one
<0376>

of his fig tree
<08384>_,

and drink
<08354> (8798)

ye every one
<0376>

the waters
<04325>

of his own cistern
<0953>_;

{Make...: or, Seek my favour by a present: Heb. Make with me a blessing}

36:17

Until I come
<0935> (8800)

and take you away
<03947> (8804)

to a land
<0776>

like your own land
<0776>_,

a land
<0776>

of corn
<01715>

and wine
<08492>_,

a land
<0776>

of bread
<03899>

and vineyards
<03754>_.

36:18

[Beware] lest Hezekiah
<02396>

persuade
<05496> (8686)

you, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The LORD
<03068>

will deliver
<05337> (8686)

us. Hath any
<0376>

of the gods
<0430>

of the nations
<01471>

delivered
<05337> (8689)

his land
<0776>

out of the hand
<03027>

of the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_?

36:19

Where [are] the gods
<0430>

of Hamath
<02574>

and Arphad
<0774>_?

where [are] the gods
<0430>

of Sepharvaim
<05617>_?

and have they delivered
<05337> (8689)

Samaria
<08111>

out of my hand
<03027>_?

36:20

Who [are they] among all the gods
<0430>

of these lands
<0776>_,

that have delivered
<05337> (8689)

their land
<0776>

out of my hand
<03027>_,

that the LORD
<03068>

should deliver
<05337> (8686)

Jerusalem
<03389>

out of my hand
<03027>_?

36:21

But they held their peace
<02790> (8686)_,

and answered
<06030> (8804)

him not a word
<01697>_:

for the king's
<04428>

commandment
<04687>

was, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Answer
<06030> (8799)

him not.

36:22

Then came
<0935> (8799)

Eliakim
<0471>_,

the son
<01121>

of Hilkiah
<02518>_,

that [was] over the household
<01004>_,

and Shebna
<07644>

the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,

and Joah
<03098>_,

the son
<01121>

of Asaph
<0623>_,

the recorder
<02142> (8688)_,

to Hezekiah
<02396>

with [their] clothes
<0899>

rent
<07167> (8803)_,

and told
<05046> (8686)

him the words
<01697>

of Rabshakeh
<07262>_.

37:1

And it came to pass, when king
<04428>

Hezekiah
<02396>

heard
<08085> (8800)

[it], that he rent
<07167> (8799)

his clothes
<0899>_,

and covered
<03680> (8691)

himself with sackcloth
<08242>_,

and went
<0935> (8799)

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

37:2

And he sent
<07971> (8799)

Eliakim
<0471>_,

who [was] over the household
<01004>_,

and Shebna
<07644>

the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,

and the elders
<02205>

of the priests
<03548>

covered
<03680> (8693)

with sackcloth
<08242>_,

unto Isaiah
<03470>

the prophet
<05030>

the son
<01121>

of Amoz
<0531>_.

37:3

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

Hezekiah
<02396>_,

This day
<03117>

[is] a day
<03117>

of trouble
<06869>_,

and of rebuke
<08433>_,

and of blasphemy
<05007>_:

for the children
<01121>

are come
<0935> (8804)

to the birth
<04866>_,

and [there is] not strength
<03581>

to bring forth
<03205> (8800)_.

{blasphemy: or, provocation}

37:4

It may be the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

will hear
<08085> (8799)

the words
<01697>

of Rabshakeh
<07262>_,

whom the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

his master
<0113>

hath sent
<07971> (8804)

to reproach
<02778> (8763)

the living
<02416>

God
<0430>_,

and will reprove
<03198> (8689)

the words
<01697>

which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

hath heard
<08085> (8804)_:

wherefore lift up
<05375> (8804)

[thy] prayer
<08605>

for the remnant
<07611>

that is left
<04672> (8737)_.

{left: Heb. found}

37:5

So the servants
<05650>

of king
<04428>

Hezekiah
<02396>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Isaiah
<03470>_.

37:6

And Isaiah
<03470>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Thus shall ye say
<0559> (8799)

unto your master
<0113>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Be not afraid
<03372> (8799)

of
<06440>

the words
<01697>

that thou hast heard
<08085> (8804)_,

wherewith the servants
<05288>

of the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

have blasphemed
<01442> (8765)

me.

37:7

Behold, I will send
<05414> (8802)

a blast
<07307>

upon him, and he shall hear
<08085> (8804)

a rumour
<08052>_,

and return
<07725> (8804)

to his own land
<0776>_;

and I will cause him to fall
<05307> (8689)

by the sword
<02719>

in his own land
<0776>_.

{send...: or, put a spirit into him}

37:8

So Rabshakeh
<07262>

returned
<07725> (8799)_,

and found
<04672> (8799)

the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

warring
<03898> (8737)

against Libnah
<03841>_:

for he had heard
<08085> (8804)

that he was departed
<05265> (8804)

from Lachish
<03923>_.

37:9

And he heard
<08085> (8799)

say
<0559> (8800)

concerning Tirhakah
<08640>

king
<04428>

of Ethiopia
<03568>_,

He is come forth
<03318> (8804)

to make war
<03898> (8736)

with thee. And when he heard
<08085> (8799)

[it], he sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

to Hezekiah
<02396>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

37:10

Thus shall ye speak
<0559> (8799)

to Hezekiah
<02396>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Let not thy God
<0430>_,

in whom thou trustest
<0982> (8802)_,

deceive
<05377> (8686)

thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Jerusalem
<03389>

shall not be given
<05414> (8735)

into the hand
<03027>

of the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_.

37:11

Behold, thou hast heard
<08085> (8804)

what the kings
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

have done
<06213> (8804)

to all lands
<0776>

by destroying them utterly
<02763> (8687)_;

and shalt thou be delivered
<05337> (8735)_?

37:12

Have the gods
<0430>

of the nations
<01471>

delivered
<05337> (8689)

them which my fathers
<01>

have destroyed
<07843> (8689)_,

[as] Gozan
<01470>_,

and Haran
<02771>_,

and Rezeph
<07530>_,

and the children
<01121>

of Eden
<05729>

which [were] in Telassar
<08515>_?

37:13

Where [is] the king
<04428>

of Hamath
<02574>_,

and the king
<04428>

of Arphad
<0774>_,

and the king
<04428>

of the city
<05892>

of Sepharvaim
<05617>_,

Hena
<02012>_,

and Ivah
<05755>_?

37:14

And Hezekiah
<02396>

received
<03947> (8799)

the letter
<05612>

from the hand
<03027>

of the messengers
<04397>_,

and read
<07121> (8799)

it: and Hezekiah
<02396>

went up
<05927> (8799)

unto the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and spread
<06566> (8799)

it before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_.

37:15

And Hezekiah
<02396>

prayed
<06419> (8691)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

37:16

O LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

that dwellest
<03427> (8802)

[between] the cherubims
<03742>_,

thou [art] the God
<0430>_,

[even] thou alone, of all the kingdoms
<04467>

of the earth
<0776>_:

thou hast made
<06213> (8804)

heaven
<08064>

and earth
<0776>_.

37:17

Incline
<05186> (8685)

thine ear
<0241>_,

O LORD
<03068>_,

and hear
<08085> (8798)_;

open
<06491> (8798)

thine eyes
<05869>_,

O LORD
<03068>_,

and see
<07200> (8798)_:

and hear
<08085> (8798)

all the words
<01697>

of Sennacherib
<05576>_,

which hath sent
<07971> (8804)

to reproach
<02778> (8763)

the living
<02416>

God
<0430>_.

37:18

Of a truth
<0551>_,

LORD
<03068>_,

the kings
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

have laid waste
<02717> (8689)

all the nations
<0776>_,

and their countries
<0776>_,

{nations: Heb. lands}

37:19

And have cast
<05414> (8800)

their gods
<0430>

into the fire
<0784>_:

for they [were] no gods
<0430>_,

but the work
<04639>

of men's
<0120>

hands
<03027>_,

wood
<06086>

and stone
<068>_:

therefore they have destroyed
<06> (8762)

them. {cast: Heb. given}

37:20

Now therefore, O LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_,

save
<03467> (8685)

us from his hand
<03027>_,

that all the kingdoms
<04467>

of the earth
<0776>

may know
<03045> (8799)

that thou [art] the LORD
<03068>_,

[even] thou only.

37:21

Then Isaiah
<03470>

the son
<01121>

of Amoz
<0531>

sent
<07971> (8799)

unto Hezekiah
<02396>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Whereas thou hast prayed
<06419> (8694)

to me against Sennacherib
<05576>

king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_:

37:22

This [is] the word
<01697>

which the LORD
<03068>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)

concerning him; The virgin
<01330>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of Zion
<06726>_,

hath despised
<0959> (8804)

thee, [and] laughed thee to scorn;
<03932> (8804)

the daughter
<01323>

of Jerusalem
<03389>

hath shaken
<05128> (8689)

her head
<07218>

at thee
<0310>_.

37:23

Whom hast thou reproached
<02778> (8765)

and blasphemed
<01442> (8765)_?

and against whom hast thou exalted
<07311> (8689)

[thy] voice
<06963>_,

and lifted up
<05375> (8799)

thine eyes
<05869>

on high
<04791>_?

[even] against the Holy One
<06918>

of Israel
<03478>_.

37:24

By
<03027>

thy servants
<05650>

hast thou reproached
<02778> (8765)

the Lord
<0136>_,

and hast said
<0559> (8799)_,

By the multitude
<07230>

of my chariots
<07393>

am I come up
<05927> (8804)

to the height
<04791>

of the mountains
<02022>_,

to the sides
<03411>

of Lebanon
<03844>_;

and I will cut down
<03772> (8799)

the tall
<06967>

cedars
<0730>

thereof, [and] the choice
<04005>

fir trees
<01265>

thereof: and I will enter
<0935> (8799)

into the height
<04791>

of his border
<07093>_,

[and] the forest
<03293>

of his Carmel
<03760>_.

{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}

37:25

I have digged
<06979> (8804)_,

and drunk
<08354> (8804)

water
<04325>_;

and with the sole
<03709>

of my feet
<06471>

have I dried up
<02717> (8686)

all the rivers
<02975>

of the besieged places
<04693>_.

{besieged: or, fenced and closed}

37:26

Hast thou not heard
<08085> (8804)

long ago
<07350>_,

[how] I have done
<06213> (8804)

it; [and] of ancient
<06924>

times
<03117>_,

that I have formed
<03335> (8804)

it? now have I brought
<0935> (8689)

it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste
<07582> (8687)

defenced
<01219> (8803)

cities
<05892>

[into] ruinous
<05327> (8737)

heaps
<01530>_.

{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?}

37:27

Therefore their inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

[were] of small
<07116>

power
<03027>_,

they were dismayed
<02865> (8804)

and confounded
<0954> (8804)_:

they were [as] the grass
<06212>

of the field
<07704>_,

and [as] the green
<03419>

herb
<01877>_,

[as] the grass
<02682>

on the housetops
<01406>_,

and [as corn] blasted
<07709>

before
<06440>

it be grown up
<07054>_.

{of small...: Heb. short of hand}

37:28

But I know
<03045> (8804)

thy abode
<03427> (8800)_,

and thy going out
<03318> (8800)_,

and thy coming in
<0935> (8800)_,

and thy rage
<07264> (8692)

against me. {abode: or, sitting}

37:29

Because thy rage
<07264> (8692)

against me, and thy tumult
<07600>_,

is come up
<05927> (8804)

into mine ears
<0241>_,

therefore will I put
<07760> (8804)

my hook
<02397>

in thy nose
<0639>_,

and my bridle
<04964>

in thy lips
<08193>_,

and I will turn thee back
<07725> (8689)

by the way
<01870>

by which thou camest
<0935> (8804)_.

37:30

And this [shall be] a sign
<0226>

unto thee, Ye shall eat
<0398> (8800)

[this] year
<08141>

such as groweth
<05599>

of itself; and the second
<08145>

year
<08141>

that which springeth
<07823>

of the same: and in the third
<07992>

year
<08141>

sow
<02232> (8798)

ye, and reap
<07114> (8798)_,

and plant
<05193> (8798)

vineyards
<03754>_,

and eat
<0398> (8798)

the fruit
<06529>

thereof.

37:31

And the remnant
<07604> (8737)

that is escaped
<06413>

of the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>

shall again
<03254> (8804)

take root
<08328>

downward
<04295>_,

and bear
<06213> (8804)

fruit
<06529>

upward
<04605>_:

{the remnant...: Heb. the escaping of the house of Judah that remaineth}

37:32

For out of Jerusalem
<03389>

shall go forth
<03318> (8799)

a remnant
<07611>_,

and they that escape
<06413>

out of mount
<02022>

Zion
<06726>_:

the zeal
<07068>

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

shall do
<06213> (8799)

this. {they...: Heb. the escaping}

37:33

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

concerning the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

He shall not come
<0935> (8799)

into this city
<05892>_,

nor shoot
<03384> (8686)

an arrow
<02671>

there, nor come before
<06923> (8762)

it with shields
<04043>_,

nor cast
<08210> (8799)

a bank
<05550>

against it.

37:34

By the way
<01870>

that he came
<0935> (8804)_,

by the same shall he return
<07725> (8799)_,

and shall not come
<0935> (8799)

into this city
<05892>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

37:35

For I will defend
<01598> (8804)

this city
<05892>

to save
<03467> (8687)

it for mine own sake, and for my servant
<05650>

David's
<01732>

sake.

37:36

Then the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

went forth
<03318> (8799)_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

in the camp
<04264>

of the Assyrians
<0804>

a hundred
<03967>

and fourscore
<08084>

and five
<02568>

thousand
<0505>_:

and when they arose early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_,

behold, they [were] all dead
<04191> (8801)

corpses
<06297>_.

37:37

So Sennacherib
<05576>

king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

departed
<05265> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

and returned
<07725> (8799)_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

at Nineveh
<05210>_.

37:38

And it came to pass, as he was worshipping
<07812> (8693)

in the house
<01004>

of Nisroch
<05268>

his god
<0430>_,

that Adrammelech
<0152>

and Sharezer
<08272>

his sons
<01121>

smote
<05221> (8689)

him with the sword
<02719>_;

and they escaped
<04422> (8738)

into the land
<0776>

of Armenia
<0780>_:

and Esarhaddon
<0634>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead. {Armenia: Heb. Ararat}

38:1

In those days
<03117>

was Hezekiah
<02396>

sick
<02470> (8804)

unto death
<04191> (8800)_.

And Isaiah
<03470>

the prophet
<05030>

the son
<01121>

of Amoz
<0531>

came
<0935> (8799)

unto him, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Set thine house
<01004>

in order
<06680> (8761)_:

for thou shalt die
<04191> (8801)_,

and not live
<02421> (8799)_.

{Set...: Heb. Give charge concerning thy house}

38:2

Then Hezekiah
<02396>

turned
<05437> (8686)

his face
<06440>

toward the wall
<07023>_,

and prayed
<06419> (8691)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

38:3

And said
<0559> (8799)_,

Remember
<02142> (8798)

now, O LORD
<03068>_,

I beseech
<0577>

thee, how I have walked
<01980> (8694)

before
<06440>

thee in truth
<0571>

and with a perfect
<08003>

heart
<03820>_,

and have done
<06213> (8804)

[that which is] good
<02896>

in thy sight
<05869>_.

And Hezekiah
<02396>

wept
<01058> (8799) <01065>

sore
<01419>_.

{sore: Heb. with great weeping}

38:4

Then came the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

to Isaiah
<03470>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

38:5

Go
<01980> (8800)_,

and say
<0559> (8804)

to Hezekiah
<02396>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

the God
<0430>

of David
<01732>

thy father
<01>_,

I have heard
<08085> (8804)

thy prayer
<08605>_,

I have seen
<07200> (8804)

thy tears
<01832>_:

behold, I will add
<03254> (8802)

unto thy days
<03117>

fifteen
<02568> <06240>

years
<08141>_.

38:6

And I will deliver
<05337> (8686)

thee and this city
<05892>

out of the hand
<03709>

of the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_:

and I will defend
<01598> (8804)

this city
<05892>_.

38:7

And this [shall be] a sign
<0226>

unto thee from the LORD
<03068>_,

that the LORD
<03068>

will do
<06213> (8799)

this thing
<01697>

that he hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_;

38:8

Behold, I will bring again
<07725> (8688)

the shadow
<06738>

of the degrees
<04609>_,

which is gone down
<03381> (8804)

in the sun
<08121>

dial
<04609>

of Ahaz
<0271>_,

ten
<06235>

degrees
<04609>

backward
<0322>_.

So the sun
<08121>

returned
<07725> (8799)

ten
<06235>

degrees
<04609>_,

by which degrees
<04609>

it was gone down
<03381> (8804)_.

{sun dial: Heb. degrees by, or, with the sun}

38:9

The writing
<04385>

of Hezekiah
<02396>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

when he had been sick
<02470> (8800)_,

and was recovered
<02421> (8799)

of his sickness
<02483>_:

38:10

I said
<0559> (8804)

in the cutting off
<01824>

of my days
<03117>_,

I shall go
<03212> (8799)

to the gates
<08179>

of the grave
<07585>_:

I am deprived
<06485> (8795)

of the residue
<03499>

of my years
<08141>_.

38:11

I said
<0559> (8804)_,

I shall not see
<07200> (8799)

the LORD
<03050>_,

[even] the LORD
<03050>_,

in the land
<0776>

of the living
<02416>_:

I shall behold
<05027> (8686)

man
<0120>

no more with the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the world
<02309>_.

38:12

Mine age
<01755>

is departed
<05265> (8738)_,

and is removed
<01540> (8738)

from me as a shepherd's
<07473>

tent
<0168>_:

I have cut off
<07088> (8765)

like a weaver
<0707> (8802)

my life
<02416>_:

he will cut me off
<01214> (8762)

with pining sickness
<01803>_:

from day
<03117>

[even] to night
<03915>

wilt thou make an end
<07999> (8686)

of me. {with...: or, from the thrum}

38:13

I reckoned
<07737> (8765)

till morning
<01242>_,

[that], as a lion
<0738>_,

so will he break
<07665> (8762)

all my bones
<06106>_:

from day
<03117>

[even] to night
<03915>

wilt thou make an end
<07999> (8686)

of me.

38:14

Like a crane
<05483>

[or] a swallow
<05693>_,

so did I chatter
<06850> (8770)_:

I did mourn
<01897> (8799)

as a dove
<03123>_:

mine eyes
<05869>

fail
<01809> (8804)

[with looking] upward
<04791>_:

O LORD
<03068>_,

I am oppressed
<06234>_;

undertake
<06148> (8798)

for me. {undertake...: or, ease me}

38:15

What shall I say
<01696> (8762)_?

he hath both spoken
<0559> (8804)

unto me, and himself hath done
<06213> (8804)

[it]: I shall go softly
<01718> (8691)

all my years
<08141>

in the bitterness
<04751>

of my soul
<05315>_.

38:16

O Lord
<0136>_,

by these [things men] live
<02421> (8799)_,

and in all these [things is] the life
<02416>

of my spirit
<07307>_:

so wilt thou recover
<02492> (8686)

me, and make me to live
<02421> (8685)_.

38:17

Behold, for peace
<07965>

I had great bitterness
<04751> <04843> (8804)_:

but thou hast in love
<02836> (8804)

to my soul
<05315>

[delivered it] from the pit
<07845>

of corruption
<01097>_:

for thou hast cast
<07993> (8689)

all my sins
<02399>

behind
<0310>

thy back
<01460>_.

{for peace...: or, on my peace came great bitterness} {thou hast in...: Heb. thou hast loved my soul from the pit}

38:18

For the grave
<07585>

cannot praise
<03034> (8686)

thee, death
<04194>

can [not] celebrate
<01984> (8762)

thee: they that go down
<03381> (8802)

into the pit
<0953>

cannot hope
<07663> (8762)

for thy truth
<0571>_.

38:19

The living
<02416>_,

the living
<02416>_,

he shall praise
<03034> (8686)

thee, as I [do] this day
<03117>_:

the father
<01>

to the children
<01121>

shall make known
<03045> (8686)

thy truth
<0571>_.

38:20

The LORD
<03068>

[was ready] to save
<03467> (8687)

me: therefore we will sing my songs
<05058>

to the stringed instruments
<05059> (8762)

all the days
<03117>

of our life
<02416>

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

38:21

For Isaiah
<03470>

had said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let them take
<05375> (8799)

a lump
<01690>

of figs
<08384>_,

and lay [it] for a plaister
<04799> (8799)

upon the boil
<07822>_,

and he shall recover
<02421> (8799)_.

38:22

Hezekiah
<02396>

also had said
<0559> (8799)_,

What [is] the sign
<0226>

that I shall go up
<05927> (8799)

to the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_?

39:1

At that time
<06256>

Merodachbaladan
<04757>_,

the son
<01121>

of Baladan
<01081>_,

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

sent
<07971> (8804)

letters
<05612>

and a present
<04503>

to Hezekiah
<02396>_:

for he had heard
<08085> (8799)

that he had been sick
<02470> (8804)_,

and was recovered
<02388> (8799)_.

39:2

And Hezekiah
<02396>

was glad
<08055> (8799)

of them, and shewed
<07200> (8686)

them the house
<01004>

of his precious things
<05238>_,

the silver
<03701>_,

and the gold
<02091>_,

and the spices
<01314>_,

and the precious
<02896>

ointment
<08081>_,

and all the house
<01004>

of his armour
<03627>_,

and all that was found
<04672> (8738)

in his treasures
<0214>_:

there was nothing
<01697>

in his house
<01004>_,

nor in all his dominion
<04475>_,

that Hezekiah
<02396>

shewed
<07200> (8689)

them not. {precious things: or, spicery} {armour: or, jewels: Heb. vessels, or, instruments}

39:3

Then came
<0935> (8799)

Isaiah
<03470>

the prophet
<05030>

unto king
<04428>

Hezekiah
<02396>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, What said
<0559> (8804)

these men
<0582>_?

and from whence
<0370>

came
<0935> (8799)

they unto thee? And Hezekiah
<02396>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

They are come
<0935> (8804)

from a far
<07350>

country
<0776>

unto me, [even] from Babylon
<0894>_.

39:4

Then said
<0559> (8799)

he, What have they seen
<07200> (8804)

in thine house
<01004>_?

And Hezekiah
<02396>

answered
<0559> (8799)_,

All that [is] in mine house
<01004>

have they seen
<07200> (8804)_:

there is nothing
<01697>

among my treasures
<0214>

that I have not shewed
<07200> (8689)

them.

39:5

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Isaiah
<03470>

to Hezekiah
<02396>_,

Hear
<08085> (8798)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_:

39:6

Behold, the days
<03117>

come
<0935> (8802)_,

that all that [is] in thine house
<01004>_,

and [that] which thy fathers
<01>

have laid up in store
<0686> (8804)

until this day
<03117>_,

shall be carried
<05375> (8738)

to Babylon
<0894>_:

nothing
<01697>

shall be left
<03498> (8735)_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.

39:7

And of thy sons
<01121>

that shall issue
<03318> (8799)

from thee, which thou shalt beget
<03205> (8686)_,

shall they take away
<03947> (8799)_;

and they shall be eunuchs
<05631>

in the palace
<01964>

of the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_.

39:8

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Hezekiah
<02396>

to Isaiah
<03470>_,

Good
<02896>

[is] the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

which thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)_.

He said
<0559> (8799)

moreover, For there shall be peace
<07965>

and truth
<0571>

in my days
<03117>_.
