prayedºº
beforeº
Yahweh,º

O Yahwehº
Elohimº
of Israel,º
which dwellestºº
[between] the cherubims,º
thouº
art the Elohim,º
[even] thou alone,º
of allº
the kingdomsº

Yahweh,º
bow downºº
thine ear,º

Yahweh,º
the kingsº
of Assyriaº
have destroyedºº
the nationsº
andº
their lands,º |
|
19:18
and have cast their gods into the fire: because they are no gods, but the works of men's hands, wood and stone; and they have destroyed them. |
|
19:18
And have castººº
their elohimº
into the fire:º
forº
theyº
[were] noº
elohim,º
butºº
the workº
of men'sº
hands,º
woodº
and stone:º
therefore they have destroyedºº
them. |
|
19:19
And now, O Lord our God, deliver us out of his hand, and all the kingdoms of the earth shall know that thou alone [art] the Lord God. |
|
19:19
Nowº
therefore, O Yahwehº
our Elohim,º

may knowºº
thatº
thouº
[art] Yahwehº
Elohim,º
[even] thou only.º |

Thusº
saithºº
Yahwehº
Elohimº
of Israel,º
[That] whichº
thou hast prayedºº
toº
me againstº
Sennacheribº
kingº
of Assyriaº
I have heard.ºº |
|
19:21
This [is] the word which the Lord has spoken against him; The virgin daughter of Zion{gr.Sion} has made light of thee, and mocked thee; the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at thee. |
|
19:21
Thisº
[is] the wordº
thatº
Yahwehº
hath spokenºº
concerningº
him; The virginº
the daughterº
of Zionº
hath despisedºº
thee, [and] laughed thee to scorn;ºº
the daughterº
of Jerusalemº
hath shakenºº
her headº
atº
thee.º |
|
19:22
Whom hast thou reproached, and whom hast thou reviled? and against whom hast thou lifted up thy voice, and raised thine eyes on high? [Is it] against the Holy One of Israel? |
|
19:22
º
Whomº
hast thou reproachedºº
and blasphemed?ºº
and againstº
whomº
hast thou exaltedºº
[thy] voice,º
and lifted upºº
thine eyesº
on high?º
[even] againstº
the Holyº
[One] of Israel.º |
|
19:23
by thy messengers thou has reproached the Lord, and hast said, I will go up with the multitude of my chariots, to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon{gr.Libanus}, and I have cut down the height of his cedar, [and] his choice cypresses; and I have come into the midst of the forest and of Carmel. |
|
19:23
Byº
thy messengersº
thou hast reproachedºº
Yahweh,º
and hast said,ºº
With the multitudeº
of my chariotsºº
Iº
am come upºº
to the heightº
of the mountains,º
to the sidesº
of Lebanon,º
and will cut downºº
the tallº
cedar treesº
thereof, [and] the choiceº
fir treesº
thereof: and I will enterºº
into the lodgingsº
of his borders,º
[and into] the forestº
of his Carmel.º |
|
19:24
I have refreshed [myself], and have drunk strange waters, and I have dried up with the sole of my foot all the rivers of fortified places. |
|
19:24
Iº
have diggedºº
and drunkºº
strangeºº
waters,º
and with the soleº
of my feetº
have I driedºº
upº
allº
the riversº
of besieged places.º |
|
19:25
I have brought about [the matter], I have brought it to a conclusion; and it is come to the destruction of the bands of warlike prisoners, [even of] strong cities. |
|
19:25
Hast thou notº
heardºº
long agoºº
[how] I have doneºº
it, [and] of ancientº
timesººº
that I have formedºº
it? nowº
have I broughtºº
it to pass,º
that thou shouldest beº
to lay wasteºº
fencedºº
citiesº
[into] ruinousºº
heaps.º |
|
19:26
And they that dwelt in them were weak in hand, they quaked and were confounded, they became [as] grass of the field, or [as] the green herb, the grass [growing on] houses, and that which is trodden down by him that stands [upon it]. |
|
19:26
Therefore their inhabitantsºº
were of smallº
power,º
they were dismayedºº
and confounded;ºº
they wereº
[as] the grassº
of the field,º
and [as] the greenº
herb,º
[as] the grassº
on the housetops,º
and [as corn] blastedº
beforeº
it be grown up.º |
|
19:27
But I know thy down-sitting, and thy going forth, and thy rage against me. |
|
19:27
But I knowºº
thy abode,ºº
and thy going out,ºº
and thy coming in,ºº
and thy rageºº
againstº
me. |
|
19:28
Because thou was angry against me, and thy fierceness is come up into my ears, therefore will I put my hooks in thy nostrils, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest. |
|
19:28
Becauseº
thy rageºº
againstº
me and thy tumultº
is come upºº
into mine ears,º
therefore I will putºº
my hookº
in thy nose,º

in thy lips,º
and I will turn thee backºº
by the wayº
by whichº
thou camest.ºº |
|
19:29
And this shall be a sign to thee; eat this year the things that grow of themselves, and in the second year the things which spring up: and in the third year [let there be] sowing, and reaping, and planting of vineyards, and eat ye the fruit of them. |
|
19:29
And thisº
[shall be] a signº
unto thee, Ye shall eatºº

shall doºº
this.º |

19:32
Thereforeº
thusº
saithºº
Yahwehº
concerningº
the kingº
of Assyria,º
He shall notº
comeºº
intoº
thisº
city,º
norº
shootºº
an arrowº
there,º
norº
come beforeºº
it with shield,º
norº
castºº
a bankº
againstº
it. |
|
19:33
By the way by which he comes, by it shall he return, and he shall not enter into this city, saith the Lord. |
|
19:33
By the wayº
thatº
he came,ºº
by the same shall he return,ºº
and shall notº
comeºº
intoº
thisº
city,º
saithºº
Yahweh.º |
|
19:34
And I will defend this city as with a shield, for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake. |
|
19:34
For I will defendººº
thisº
city,º
to saveºº
it, for mine own sake,º
