Young's Literal Translation
And it came
to pass, when
king Hezekiah
heard
it
, that he rent
his clothes
, and covered
himself with sackcloth, and went
into
the house of the
LORD.
And it cometh
to pass, at
king Hezekiah's
hearing
, that he rendeth
his garments
, and covereth
himself with sackcloth, and entereth
the house of Jehovah,
And he
sent
Eliakim, which
was
over the household
, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered
with sackcloth, to
Isaiah the prophet the
son of Amoz .
and sendeth
Eliakim, who
`is'
over the house
, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covering
themselves
with sackcloth, unto
Isaiah the prophet ,
son of Amoz ,
And they said
unto him, Thus saith
Hezekiah ,
This
day
is
a day of trouble
, and of
rebuke, and blasphemy
; for the
children
are
come to
the birth, and there is not strength
to bring forth.
and they say
unto him, `
Thus said
Hezekiah --
A day of distress
, and rebuke, and despising
`is'
this
day
; for come have
sons
unto
the birth, and power
there is not to bring forth.
It may be the
LORD
thy God will
hear all the words of Rabshakeh,
whom
the king of Assyria
his master
hath sent to reproach the living God ;
and will
reprove
the words which
the
LORD
thy God hath heard :
wherefore
lift
up thy
prayer for the remnant that are
left
.
`
It may be Jehovah
thy God doth
hear all the words of the chief
of
the
butlers
with
which
the
king of Asshur
his lord
hath sent him
to reproach the living God ,
and hath
decided
concerning
the words that
Jehovah
thy God hath heard ,
and
thou
hast
lifted
up prayer for the remnant that is
found
. '
So
the servants of king Hezekiah came
to
Isaiah .
And
the servants of king Hezekiah come
in
unto
Isaiah ,
And Isaiah said
unto
them, Thus shall
ye say to
your master,
Thus
saith
the
LORD, Be not afraid of the words which
thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria
have blasphemed
me.
and Isaiah saith
to
them, `
Thus do
ye say unto
your lord :
Thus
said
Jehovah
, Be not afraid because
of the words that
thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Asshur
have reviled
Me.
Behold
, I will
send
a
blast
upon
him, and he shall
hear
a rumour
, and shall
return
to his own
land ;
and I will
cause
him to fall by the sword in his own
land.
Lo
, I am
giving
in
him a
spirit
, and he hath
heard
a report
, and hath
turned
back
to his land ,
and I have
caused
him to fall by the sword in his land. '
So
Rabshakeh
returned,
and found
the king of Assyria
warring
against Libnah :
for he had
heard that he was
departed
from Lachish.
And the chief
of
the
butlers
turneth
back
and
findeth
the
king of Asshur
fighting
against Libnah ,
for he hath
heard that he hath
journeyed
from Lachish.
And when
he heard
say
of
Tirhakah king of Ethiopia
, Behold
, he is
come out to fight against
thee :
he sent
messengers again
unto Hezekiah, saying,
And he heareth
concerning
Tirhakah king of Cush
, saying
, `Lo,
he hath
come out to fight with
thee ;'
and
he turneth
and
sendeth
messengers unto Hezekiah, saying,
Thus shall
ye speak to
Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest
deceive
thee
, saying, Jerusalem shall
not be
delivered
into the hand of the king of Assyria
.
`
Thus do
ye speak unto
Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God lift
thee
up
in whom thou art
trusting
, saying, Jerusalem is
not given
into the hand of the king of Asshur
.
Behold
, thou hast heard what
the kings of Assyria
have done to all lands ,
by
destroying
them utterly:
and shalt
thou be
delivered ?
Lo
, thou hast heard that
which
the kings of Asshur
have done to all the
lands --
to
devote
them ;
and thou art
delivered !
Have
the gods of the nations delivered
them which
my fathers have
destroyed ;
as
Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children
of Eden which
were
in Thelasar
?
did
the gods of the nations deliver
them whom
my fathers destroyed --
Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons
of Eden ,
who
`are'
in Thelassar
?
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of
Hena, and Ivah
?
Where `
is '
the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah
? '
And Hezekiah received
the letter
of the hand of the messengers, and read
it:
and Hezekiah
went
up into
the house of the
LORD
, and spread
it before the
LORD
.
And Hezekiah taketh
the letters
out
of the hand of the messengers, and readeth
them,
and goeth
up to
the house of Jehovah
, and Hezekiah
spreadeth
it before Jehovah
.
And Hezekiah prayed
before the
LORD
, and said
, O LORD
God of Israel, which
dwellest
between
the cherubim
, thou art the
God ,
even
thou
alone ,
of
all the kingdoms of the earth ;
thou hast made heaven
and earth.
And Hezekiah prayeth
before Jehovah
, and saith
, `
O Jehovah,
God of Israel, inhabiting
the cherubs
, Thou `
art '
God Himself
--
Thyself
alone --
to
all the kingdoms of the earth :
Thou hast made the
heavens
and the
earth.
LORD
, bow
down
thine ear, and hear :
open, LORD
, thine eyes, and see :
and hear the words of Sennacherib ,
which hath sent him to reproach the living God.
Incline
, O
Jehovah,
Thine ear, and hear ;
open, O
Jehovah
, Thine eyes, and see ;
and hear Thou
the words of Sennacherib with
which he
hath sent him to reproach the living God.
Of
a
truth
, LORD
, the
kings of Assyria
have destroyed
the nations and their lands
,
`Truly
, O
Jehovah
, kings of Asshur
have laid
waste
the nations ,
and their land
,
And have cast
their gods into the
fire :
for they were
no gods, but the
work of men's
hands, wood and stone :
therefore
they
have
destroyed
them.
and have put
their gods into fire ,
for they `are'
no gods, but work of the
hands of
man
, wood and stone ,
and
destroy
them.
Now therefore
, O LORD
our God, I
beseech
thee,
save thou
us out of his hand, that
all the
kingdoms of the earth may
know
that thou art the
LORD
God ,
even
thou
only
.
And
now, O Jehovah
our God, save us ,
we
pray
Thee,
out of his hand, and
know
do
all kingdoms of the earth that Thou `
art '
Jehovah
God --
Thyself
alone
. '
Then
Isaiah the
son of Amoz sent
to
Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith
the
LORD
God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed to
me against
Sennacherib king of Assyria
I have heard .
And
Isaiah son of Amoz sendeth
unto
Hezekiah, saying, `
Thus said
Jehovah,
God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed unto
Me concerning
Sennacherib king of Asshur
I have heard :
This is the word that the
LORD
hath
spoken
concerning him ;
The virgin the
daughter of Zion hath
despised
thee,
and
laughed
thee to
scorn;
the daughter of Jerusalem hath
shaken
her
head
at
thee.
this `
is '
the word that Jehovah
spake
concerning him :
`Trampled
on
thee
--
laughed
at
thee,
Hath
the virgin daughter of Zion Behind
thee shaken
the head
--
Hath
the
daughter of Jerusalem ?
Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed
? and against whom hast
thou
exalted
thy
voice, and
lifted
up thine
eyes
on high ?
even
against the Holy One of Israel .
Whom hast thou reproached and reviled
? And against whom lifted
up
a
voice ?
Yea
, thou
dost
lift
up on high thine
eyes
--
Against the Holy One of Israel !
By thy messengers thou hast reproached the LORD, and hast
said,
With
the multitude of my chariots I am
come up to the
height
of the
mountains ,
to
the sides of Lebanon, and will
cut down the tall
cedar
trees
thereof
, and
the choice fir
trees
thereof:
and I will
enter into
the lodgings
of his
borders
, and
into
the forest of his
Carmel.
By the
hand
of
thy messengers Thou hast reproached the Lord, and sayest:
In
the multitude of my chariots I have
come up to a
high
place
of mountains --
The sides of Lebanon, And I
cut down the height
of
its
cedars
, The choice of
its
firs,
And I enter the lodging
of its
extremity
, The forest of its
Carmel.
I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet
have
I
dried
up
all the
rivers
of besieged
places
.
I have digged ,
and drunk strange waters, And I
dry
up
with the sole of my steps
All floods
of a
bulwark
.
Hast thou not heard long
ago
how
I
have
done
it, and
of ancient
times
that I have
formed it? now have
I brought it to
pass
, that
thou
shouldest
be
to
lay
waste
fenced
cities
into
ruinous heaps .
Hast thou not heard from
afar,
it I
made
, From
days
of old
that I formed it? Now I have
brought it in
, And
it
becometh
a
desolation,
Ruinous heaps `are'
fenced
cities,
Therefore
their inhabitants were
of
small
power
, they were dismayed
and confounded;
they were
as
the grass
of the field, and as
the green
herb,
as
the grass on
the house
tops
, and as
corn
blasted before it be
grown
up .
And
their inhabitants `are'
feeble-handed
, They were broken
down,
and are
dried
up,
They have
been
the herb
of the field, And the greenness
of
the tender
grass ,
Grass
of
the roofs
, And blasted corn
--
before it hath
risen
up !
But
I
know
thy abode
, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy
rage
against
me .
And
thy sitting
down
, and thy going out, And thy coming in, I
have
known,
And thine
anger
towards
Me ;
Because thy
rage
against
me and thy tumult
is
come
up into mine ears, therefore
I will
put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I
will
turn
thee back by
the way by
which thou camest.
Because of
thine
anger
towards
Me ,
And thy noise
--
it
came
up into Mine ears, I have
put My hook in thy nose, And My bridle in thy lips, And have
caused
thee to
turn
back ,
In
the way in
which thou camest.
And this shall
be
a
sign
unto
thee, Ye
shall
eat
this
year
such
things
as
grow
of themselves
, and in the second year that
which
springeth
of
the same;
and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the
fruits thereof
.
And this to
thee `is'
the
sign
, Food
of the
year
`is'
the
spontaneous
growth
, And in the second year the self-produced,
And in the third year sow ye, and reap, And plant vineyards, and eat their
fruits.
And the remnant
that
is
escaped of the house of Judah shall
yet
again
take root downward
, and bear
fruit upward.
And it
hath
continued
--
The escaped of the house of Judah That
hath
been
left
--
to
take root beneath
, And hath
made
fruit upward.
For out
of
Jerusalem shall
go
forth
a remnant, and they
that
escape out
of
mount Zion :
the zeal of the
LORD
of hosts shall
do
this.
For from
Jerusalem goeth
out
a remnant, And an
escape from
mount Zion ;
The zeal of Jehovah
`
of Hosts '
doth
this.
Therefore thus saith
the
LORD
concerning the king of Assyria,
He shall
not come into
this city, nor shoot an arrow there
, nor come before it with shield ,
nor cast
a
bank
against it.
Therefore ,
thus said
Jehovah,
Concerning the king of Asshur:
He doth
not come in
unto
this city, Nor doth
he
shoot there
an arrow, Nor doth
he
come before it with shield .
Nor doth
he
pour
out
against it a
mount
.
By
the way that he came,
by
the
same
shall
he return
, and shall
not
come
into
this city, saith
the LORD.
In
the way that he cometh
in
--
In
it
he turneth
back
, And unto
this city he
doth
not
come
in
, The affirmation
of
Jehovah
--
For
I will
defend
this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's
sake
.
And
I have
covered
over
this city, To save it, for Mine own sake, And for the
sake
of
David
My servant. '
And it came
to pass that night, that the
angel
of the
LORD
went
out, and smote
in the camp of the
Assyrians
an
hundred fourscore
and five thousand :
and when
they arose
early in the morning, behold
, they
were
all dead corpses.
And it cometh
to pass ,
in
that night, that a
messenger
of Jehovah
goeth
out, and smiteth
in the camp of Asshur
a
hundred eighty
and five thousand ,
and they rise
early in the morning, and
lo
, all of
them
`are'
dead corpses.
So
Sennacherib king of Assyria
departed
, and went
and returned
, and dwelt
at
Nineveh .
And
Sennacherib king of Asshur
journeyeth
, and goeth,
and turneth
back
, and dwelleth
in
Nineveh ;
And it came
to pass, as
he was
worshipping
in the house of Nisroch his god, that
Adrammelech
and Sharezer
his sons smote
him with the sword :
and they escaped into
the land of Armenia.
And Esarhaddon
his son reigned
in his stead.
and it cometh
to pass, he is
bowing
himself
in the house of Nisroch his god, and Adramelech
and
Sharezar
`
his sons '
have
smitten
him with the sword ,
and they have
escaped to
the land of Ararat,
and Esar-Haddon
his son reigneth
in his stead.
