Your very best valleys were full of chariots; ¹  horsemen confidently took their positions ²  at the gate.

The chief adviser said to them, “Tell Hezekiah: ‘This is what the great king, the king of Assyria, says: “What is your source of confidence? ¹ 

Who is this who comes from Edom, ¹  dressed in bright red, coming from Bozrah? ²  Who ³  is this one wearing royal attire, ⁴  who marches confidently ⁵  because of his great strength? “It is I, the one who announces vindication, and who is able to deliver!” ⁶ 

Fairness will produce peace ¹  and result in lasting security. ² 

For this is what the master, the Lord, the Holy One of Israel says: “If you repented and patiently waited for me, you would be delivered; ¹  if you calmly trusted in me you would find strength, ²  but you are unwilling.

You keep completely safe the people who maintain their faith, for they trust in you. ¹ 

Trust in the Lord from this time forward, ¹  even in Yah, the Lord, an enduring protector! ² 

You complacent ¹  women, get up and listen to me! You carefree ²  daughters, pay attention to what I say!

For the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the blanket is too narrow to wrap around oneself. ¹ 

Who among you fears the Lord? Who obeys ¹  his servant? Whoever walks in deep darkness, ²  without light, should trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God.
