unto°
him, Thus°
saith°°
Hezekiah,°
This°
day°

Have the elohim°
of the nations°
delivered°°

the letter°
from the hand°°

it: and Hezekiah°
went up°°
unto the house°
of Yahweh,°
and spread°°
it before°
Yahweh.° |

37:15
And Hezekiah°
prayed°°
unto°
Yahweh,°
saying,°° |
|
37:16
O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, who sittest upon the cherubs, thou alone art the God of every kingdom of the world: thou hast made heaven and earth. |
|
37:16
O Yahweh°
Sabaoth,°
Elohim°
of Israel,°
that dwellest°°
[between] the cherubims,°
thou°
[art] the Elohim,°
[even] thou alone,°
of all°
the kingdoms°
of the earth:°
thou°
hast made°°°
heaven°
and earth.° |
|
37:17
Incline thine ear, O Lord, hearken, O Lord; open thine eyes, O Lord, look, O Lord: and behold the words of Sennacherib{gr.Sennacherim}, which he has sent to reproach the living God. |
|
37:17
Incline°°
thine ear,°
O Yahweh,°
and hear;°°
open°°
thine eyes,°
O Yahweh,°
and see:°°
and hear°°°
all°
the words°
of Sennacherib,°
which°
hath sent°°
to reproach°°
the living°
Elohim.° |
|
37:18
For of a truth, Lord, the kings of the Assyrians have laid waste the whole world, and the countries thereof, |
|
37:18
Of a truth,°
Yahweh,°
the kings°
of Assyria°
have laid waste°°°
all°
the nations,°
and their countries,° |
|
37:19
and have cast their idols into the fire: for, they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; and they have cast them away. |
|
37:19
And have cast°°°
their elohim°
into the fire:°
for°
they°
[were] no°
elohim,°
but°°
the work°
of men's°
hands,°
wood°
and stone:°
therefore they have destroyed°°
them. |
|
37:20
But now, O Lord our God, deliver us from his hands, that every kingdom of the earth may know that thou art God alone. |
|
37:20
Now°
therefore, O Yahweh°
our Elohim,°
save°°
us from his hand,°°
that all°
the kingdoms°
of the earth°
may know°°
that°
thou°
[art] Yahweh,°
[even] thou only.° |

37:21 ¶
And Isaiah{gr.Esaias} the son of Amos was sent to Hezekiah{gr.Ezekias}, and said to him, Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, I have heard thy prayer to me concerning Sennacherib{gr.Sennacherim} king of the Assyrians. |
|
37:21 ¶
Then Isaiah°
the son°
of Amoz°
sent°°
unto°
Hezekiah,°
saying,°°
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
Elohim°
of Israel,°
Whereas°
thou hast prayed°°
to°
me against°
Sennacherib°
king°
of Assyria:° |
|
37:22
This is the word which God has spoken concerning him; The virgin daughter of Zion{gr.Sion} has despised thee, and mocked thee; the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at thee. |
|
37:22
This°
[is] the word°
which°
Yahweh°
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.° |
|
37:23
Whom hast thou reproached and provoked? and against whom hast thou lifted up thy voice? and hast thou not lifted up thine eyes on high against the Holy One of Israel? |
|
37:23
°
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.° |
|
37:24
For thou hast reproached the Lord by messengers; for thou hast said, With the multitude of chariots have I ascended to the height of mountains, and to the sides of Lebanon{gr.Libanus}; and I have cropped the height of his cedars and the beauty of his cypresses; and I entered into the height of the forest region: |
|
37:24
By°
thy servants°
hast thou reproached°°
Yahweh,°
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.°° |
|
37:25
and I have made a bridge, and dried up the waters, and every pool of water. |
|
37:25
I°
have digged,°°
and drunk°°
water;°
and with the sole°
of my feet°
have I dried up°°
all°
the rivers°
of the besieged places.° |
|
37:26
Hast thou not heard of these things which I did of old? I appointed [them] from ancient times; but now have I manifested [my purpose] of desolating nations in [their] strong holds, and them that dwell in strong cities. |
|
37:26
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°°
defenced°°
cities°
[into] ruinous°°
heaps.° |
|
37:27
I weakened [their] hands, and they withered; and they became as dry grass on the house-tops, and as grass. |
|
37:27
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 housetops,°
and [as corn] blasted°°
before°
it be grown up.° |
|
37:28
But now I know thy rest, and thy going out, and thy coming in. |
|
37:28
But I know°°
thy abode,°°
and thy going out,°°
and thy coming in,°°
and thy rage°°
against°
me. |
|
37:29
And thy wrath wherewith thou hast been enraged, and thy rancour has come up to me; therefore I will put a hook in thy nose, and a bit in thy lips, and will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest. |
|
37:29
Because°
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.°° |
|
37:30
And this shall be a sign to thee, Eat this year what thou hast sown; and the second year that which is left: and the third year sow, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. |
|
37:30
And 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. |
|
37:31
And they that are left in Judah{gr.Judea} shall take root downward, and bear fruit upward: |
|
37:31
And the remnant°°
that is escaped°
of the house°
of Judah°
shall again°°
take root°
downward,°
and bear°°
fruit°
upward:° |
|
37:32
for out of Jerusalem there shall be a remnant, and the saved ones out of mount Zion{gr.Sion}: the zeal of the Lord of hosts shall perform this. |
|
37:32
For°
out of Jerusalem°°
shall go forth°°
a remnant,°
and they that escape°
out of mount°°
Zion:°
the zeal°
of Yahweh°
Sabaoth°
shall do°°
this.° |
|
37:33
Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of the Assyrians, He shall not enter into this city, nor cast a weapon against it, nor bring a shield against it, nor make a rampart round it. |
|
37:33
Therefore°
thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
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. |
|
37:34
But by the way by which he came, by it shall he return, and shall not enter into this city: thus saith the Lord. |
|
37:34
By the way°
that°
he came,°°
by the same shall he return,°°
and shall not°
come°°
into°
this°
city,°
saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
37:35
I will protect this city to save it for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake. |
|
37:35
For I will defend°°°
this°
city°
to save°°
it for mine own sake,°
and for my servant°
David's°
sake.° |
|
37:36
And the angel of the Lord went forth, and slew out of the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand: and they arose in the morning and found all [these] bodies dead. |
|
37:36
Then the angel°
of Yahweh°
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.° |

And Sennacherib{gr.Sennacherim} king of the Assyrians turned and departed, and dwelt in Nineveh{gr.Nineve}. |
|
37:37 ¶
So Sennacherib°
king°
of Assyria°
departed,°°

And while he was worshipping Nasarach his country's god in the house, Adramelech and Sarasar his sons smote him with swords; and they escaped into Armenia: and Asordan his son reigned in his stead. |
|
37:38
And it came to pass,°
as he°
was worshipping°°
in the house°
of Nisroch°
his elohim,°
that Adrammelech°

his sons°
smote°°
him with the sword;°
