Isaiah 37:1-29

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>_.

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>_.

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}

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}

So the servants
<05650>

of king
<04428>

Hezekiah
<02396>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Isaiah
<03470>_.

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.

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}

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>_.

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)_,

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>_.

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)_?

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>_?

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>_?

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>_.

And Hezekiah
<02396>

prayed
<06419> (8691)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

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>_.

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>_.

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}

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}

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.

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>_:

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>_.

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>_.

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}

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}

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?}

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}

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}

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)_.
