Here is the message about Judah and Jerusalem ¹  that was revealed to Isaiah son of Amoz. ² 

¹ This is a message about Babylon that God revealed to Isaiah son of Amoz: ² 

“At that time ¹  I will summon my servant Eliakim, son of Hilkiah.

Syria has plotted with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah to bring about your demise. ¹ 

Then I will summon ¹  as my reliable witnesses Uriah the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah.”

But approach, you sons of omen readers, you offspring of adulteresses and prostitutes! ¹ 

Eliakim son of Hilkiah, the palace supervisor, accompanied by Shebna the scribe and Joah son of Asaph, the secretary, went to Hezekiah with their clothes torn in grief ¹  and reported to him what the chief adviser had said.

One day, ¹  as he was worshiping ²  in the temple of his god Nisroch, ³  his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him down with the sword. ⁴  They ran away to the land of Ararat; his son Esarhaddon replaced him as king.
