Book 23 Isaiah Chapter 037

 

037:001And 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.

 

037:002And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna
the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with
sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.

 

037:003And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day
of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children
are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring
forth.

 

037:004It may be the LORD thy God will hear 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
is left.

 

037:005So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

 

037:006And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say unto your master,
Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast
heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have
blasphemed me.

 

037:007Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a
rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to
fall by the sword in his own land.

 

037:008So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring
against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from
Lachish.

 

037:009And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is
come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard it, he
sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,

 

037:010Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not
thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying,
Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of
Assyria.

 

037:011Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to
all lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be
delivered?

 

037:012Have 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 Telassar?

 

037:013Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and the
king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?

 

037:014And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the
messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house
of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.

 

037:015And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD, saying,

 

037:016O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the
cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the
kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.

 

037:017Incline thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open thine eyes, O LORD,
and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which hath
sent to reproach the living God.

 

037:018Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the
nations, and their countries,

 

037:019And 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.

 

037:020Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all
the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD,
even thou only.

 

037:021Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus
saith the LORD God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me
against Sennacherib king of Assyria:

 

037:022This is the word which 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.

 

037:023Whom 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.

 

037:024By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and hast said,
By the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of
the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down
the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and
I will enter into the height of his border, and the forest of
his Carmel.

 

037:025I have digged, and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet
have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.

 

037:026Hast 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 defenced cities into
ruinous heaps.

 

037:027Therefore 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 housetops, and as
corn blasted before it be grown up.

 

037:028But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in,
and thy rage against me.

 

037:029Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into
mine ears, therefore will I 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.

 

037:030And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year
such as groweth of itself; and the second year that which
springeth of the same: and in the third year sow ye, and reap,
and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.

 

037:031And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall
again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:

 

037:032For 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.

 

037:033Therefore 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 shields, nor cast a bank against it.

 

037:034By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and
shall not come into this city, saith the LORD.

 

037:035For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and
for my servant David's sake.

 

037:036Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp
of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand:
and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were
all dead corpses.

 

037:037So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and
returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.

 

037:038And 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.
