V.1 And it came to pass, when king 4428 Hezekiah 2396 heard 8085-2 [it], that he rent 7167-4 his clothes, 899 and covered 3680-101 himself with sackcloth, 8242 and went 935-4 into the house 1004 of the LORD. 3068

37:2 And he sent 7971-4 Eliakim, 471 who [was] over the household, 1004 and Shebna 7644 the scribe, 5608-6 and the elders 2205 of the priests 3548 covered 3680-102 with sackcloth, 8242 unto Isaiah 3470 the prophet 5030 the son 1121 of Amoz. 531

37:3 And they said 559-4 unto him, Thus saith 559-1 Hezekiah, 2396 This day 3117 [is] a day 3117 of trouble, 6869 and of rebuke, 8433 and of blasphemy: 5007 for the children 1121 are come 935-1 to the birth, 4866 and [there is] not strength 3581 to bring forth. 3205-2

37:4 It may be the LORD 3068 thy God 430 will hear 8085-4 the words 1697 of Rabshakeh, 7262 whom the king 4428 of Assyria 804 his master 113 hath sent 7971-1 to reproach 2778-15 the living 2416 God, 430 and will reprove 3198-52 the words 1697 which the LORD 3068 thy God 430 hath heard: 8085-1 wherefore lift up 5375-1 [thy] prayer 8605 for the remnant 7611 that is left. 4672-12

37:5 So the servants 5650 of king 4428 Hezekiah 2396 came 935-4 to Isaiah. 3470

37:6 And Isaiah 3470 said 559-4 unto them, Thus shall ye say 559-4 unto your master, 113 Thus saith 559-1 the LORD, 3068 Be not afraid 3372-4 of 6440 the words 1697 that thou hast heard, 8085-1 wherewith the servants 5288 of the king 4428 of Assyria 804 have blasphemed 1442-14 me.

37:7 Behold, I will send 5414-6 a blast 7307 upon him, and he shall hear 8085-1 a rumour, 8052 and return 7725-1 to his own land; 776 and I will cause him to fall 5307-52 by the sword 2719 in his own land. 776

37:8 So Rabshakeh 7262 returned, 7725-4 and found 4672-4 the king 4428 of Assyria 804 warring 3898-12 against Libnah: 3841 for he had heard 8085-1 that he was departed 5265-1 from Lachish. 3923

37:9 And he heard 8085-4 say 559-2 concerning Tirhakah 8640 king 4428 of Ethiopia, 3568 He is come forth 3318-1 to make war 3898-9 with thee. And when he heard 8085-4 [it], he sent 7971-4 messengers 4397 to Hezekiah, 2396 saying, 559-2

37:10 Thus shall ye speak 559-4 to Hezekiah 2396 king 4428 of Judah, 3063 saying, 559-2 Let not thy God, 430 in whom thou trustest, 982-6 deceive 5377-55 thee, saying, 559-2 Jerusalem 3389 shall not be given 5414-11 into the hand 3027 of the king 4428 of Assyria. 804

37:11 Behold, thou hast heard 8085-1 what the kings 4428 of Assyria 804 have done 6213-1 to all lands 776 by destroying them utterly; 2763-53 and shalt thou be delivered? 5337-11

37:12 Have the gods 430 of the nations 1471 delivered 5337-52 them which my fathers 1 have destroyed, 7843-52 [as] Gozan, 1470 and Haran, 2771 and Rezeph, 7530 and the children 1121 of Eden 5729 which [were] in Telassar? 8515

37:13 Where [is] the king 4428 of Hamath, 2574 and the king 4428 of Arphad, 774 and the king 4428 of the city 5892 of Sepharvaim, 5617 Hena, 2012 and Ivah? 5755

37:14 And Hezekiah 2396 received 3947-4 the letter 5612 from the hand 3027 of the messengers, 4397 and read 7121-4 it: and Hezekiah 2396 went up 5927-4 unto the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 and spread 6566-4 it before 6440 the LORD. 3068

37:15 And Hezekiah 2396 prayed 6419-101 unto the LORD, 3068 saying, 559-2

37:16 O LORD 3068 of hosts, 6635 God 430 of Israel, 3478 that dwellest 3427-6 [between] the cherubims, 3742 thou [art] the God, 430 [even] thou alone, of all the kingdoms 4467 of the earth: 776 thou hast made 6213-1 heaven 8064 and earth. 776

37:17 Incline 5186-54 thine ear, 241 O LORD, 3068 and hear; 8085-3 open 6491-3 thine eyes, 5869 O LORD, 3068 and see: 7200-3 and hear 8085-3 all the words 1697 of Sennacherib, 5576 which hath sent 7971-1 to reproach 2778-15 the living 2416 God. 430

37:18 Of a truth, 551 LORD, 3068 the kings 4428 of Assyria 804 have laid waste 2717-52 all the nations, 776 and their countries, 776

37:19 And have cast 5414-2 their gods 430 into the fire: 784 for they [were] no gods, 430 but the work 4639 of men's 120 hands, 3027 wood 6086 and stone: 68 therefore they have destroyed 6-17 them.

37:20 Now therefore, O LORD 3068 our God, 430 save 3467-54 us from his hand, 3027 that all the kingdoms 4467 of the earth 776 may know 3045-4 that thou [art] the LORD, 3068 [even] thou only.

37:21 Then Isaiah 3470 the son 1121 of Amoz 531 sent 7971-4 unto Hezekiah, 2396 saying, 559-2 Thus saith 559-1 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel, 3478 Whereas thou hast prayed 6419-98 to me against Sennacherib 5576 king 4428 of Assyria: 804

37:22 This [is] the word 1697 which the LORD 3068 hath spoken 1696-14 concerning him; The virgin, 1330 the daughter 1323 of Zion, 6726 hath despised 959-1 thee, [and] laughed thee to scorn; 3932-1 the daughter 1323 of Jerusalem 3389 hath shaken 5128-52 her head 7218 at 310 thee.

37:23 Whom hast thou reproached 2778-14 and blasphemed? 1442- 14 and against whom hast thou exalted 7311-52 [thy] voice, 6963 and lifted up 5375-4 thine eyes 5869 on high? 4791 [even] against the Holy One 6918 of Israel. 3478

37:24 By 3027 thy servants 5650 hast thou reproached 2778-14 the Lord, 136 and hast said, 559-4 By the multitude 7230 of my chariots 7393 am I come up 5927-1 to the height 4791 of the mountains, 2022 to the sides 3411 of Lebanon; 3844 and I will cut down 3772-4 the tall 6967 cedars 730 thereof, [and] the choice 4005 fir trees 1265 thereof: and I will enter 935- 4 into the height 4791 of his border, 7093 [and] the forest 3293 of his Carmel. 3760|3759

37:25 I have digged, 6979-1 and drunk 8354-1 water; 4325 and with the sole 3709 of my feet 6471 have I dried up 2717-55 all the rivers 2975 of the besieged places. 4693|4692

37:26 Hast thou not heard 8085-1 long ago, 7350 [how] I have done 6213-1 it; [and] of ancient 6924 times, 3117 that I have formed 3335-1 it? now have I brought it to pass, 935-52 that thou shouldest be to lay waste 7582-53 defenced 1219-7 cities 5892 [into] ruinous 5327-12 heaps. 1530

37:27 Therefore their inhabitants 3427-6 [were] of small 7116 power, 3027 they were dismayed 2865-1 and confounded: 954-1 they were [as] the grass 6212 of the field, 7704 and [as] the green 3419 herb, 1877 [as] the grass 2682 on the housetops, 1406 and [as corn] blasted 7709 before 6440 it be grown up. 7054

37:28 But I know 3045-1 thy abode, 3427-2 and thy going out, 3318-2 and thy coming in, 935-2 and thy rage 7264-99 against me.

37:29 Because thy rage 7264-99 against me, and thy tumult, 7600 is come up 5927-1 into mine ears, 241 therefore will I put 7760-1 my hook 2397 in thy nose, 639 and my bridle 4964 in thy lips, 8193 and I will turn thee back 7725-52 by the way 1870 by which thou camest. 935-1

37:30 And this [shall be] a sign 226 unto thee, Ye shall eat 398-2 [this] year 8141 such as groweth of itself; 5599 and the second 8145 year 8141 that which springeth 7823 of the same: and in the third 7992 year 8141 sow 2232-3 ye, and reap, 7114-3 and plant 5193-3 vineyards, 3754 and eat 398-3 the fruit 6529 thereof.

37:31 And the remnant 7604-12 that is escaped 6413 of the house 1004 of Judah 3063 shall again 3254-1 take root 8328 downward, 4295 and bear 6213-1 fruit 6529 upward: 4605

37:32 For out of Jerusalem 3389 shall go forth 3318-4 a remnant, 7611 and they that escape 6413 out of mount 2022 Zion: 6726 the zeal 7068 of the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 shall do 6213-4 this.

37:33 Therefore thus saith 559-1 the LORD 3068 concerning the king 4428 of Assyria, 804 He shall not come 935-4 into this city, 5892 nor shoot 3384-55 an arrow 2671 there, nor come before 6923-17 it with shields, 4043 nor cast 8210-4 a bank 5550 against it.

37:34 By the way 1870 that he came, 935-1 by the same shall he return, 7725-4 and shall not come 935-4 into this city, 5892 saith 5002-7 the LORD. 3068

37:35 For I will defend 1598-1 this city 5892 to save 3467-53 it for mine own sake, and for my servant 5650 David's 1732 sake.

37:36 Then the angel 4397 of the LORD 3068 went forth, 3318-4 and smote 5221-55 in the camp 4264 of the Assyrians 804 a hundred 3967 and fourscore 8084 and five 2568 thousand: 505 and when they arose early 7925-55 in the morning, 1242 behold, they [were] all dead 4191-5 corpses. 6297

37:37 So Sennacherib 5576 king 4428 of Assyria 804 departed, 5265-4 and went 3212-4 and returned, 7725-4 and dwelt 3427-4 at Nineveh. 5210
