{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)_.

Isaiah 37:36-38

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}
