16 J Lorp, -bow_down Thine ear, and shear: open, ’ Lorp, Thine eyes, and ssee: and shear -the_words_of Senna- cherib, which hath sent him to ¢re- proach the living =God.
W Of_a_truth, /Lorp, the_kings_of Assyria have destroyed «the nations and their -lands,
18 And have -cast their gods into the! fire: for thep were no gods, but the_ work_of 4 men’s hands, wood and stone: therefore they have_destroyed them.
19 Now therefore, O_’ Lorp our =God, I_beseech_Thee, -save Thou us out_of his hand, that all the_kingdoms_of the earth may_know that Thon art ‘the Lorp Bree even Thou only.”
20 Then Isaiah the_son_of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus -saith J the Lorp =God_of Israél, That which thou shast_prayed to Me against Sennacherib king_of Assyria I -haye_heard.
21 This is the word that Jthe Lorp shath_spoken concerning him ;
The virgin the_daughter_of Zion hath_despised thee, and laughed_ thee_to_scorn :
The_daughter_of Jerusalem shath_ shaken her head at thee.
2*Whom -shast_thou_¢@ reproached
and re -blasphemed 7°
And against whom -hast_thou_ exalted thy voice, and lifted_up thine eyes on_high ?
Even against the_Holy_One_of Israél.
23 By ».tthy messengers thou shast_
dreproached Athe =Lord, and} - hast_said,
‘With the_multitude_of my cha-! riots £ -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,
py dg the_forest_of his Car- mel.
24 E -have_digged and -drunk strange |
waters,
And with the_sole_of my feet have_ I_dried_up all the_rivers_of be- sieged_places.’
25 «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 znto ruinous
heaps. 26 Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, They were_dismayed and con- founded ; 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. 27 But I know thy abode, And thy going_out, and thy com- ing-in, And thy -rage against Me. 28 Because thy rage against Me and

thy «tumult is_come_up into| B.C.7
Mine be ar. or Therefore I -will_put My hook in| arro;
thy nose, : And My bridle in thy lips,
And I -will_turn_thee_back by the way by which thou camest.
» And this shall be a xsign unto thee, Ye shall_eat this year such_things_as_ grow_of_themselves, and in the second xyear that_which_springeth _of_the_ same; and in the third xyear -sow ye, and -reap, and splant vineyards, an -eat the fruits thereof.
30 And the remnant that is_escaped of the_house_of Judah -shall_yet_again take_root downward, and «bear fruit upward,
31 For out_of Jerusalem shall_go_ forth a remnant, and they_that_escape out_of mount Zion: the_zeal_of !the Lorp of_hosts shall_do this.
® Therefore thus -saith J the Lorp concerning the_king_of Assyria, He shall not come into xthis xcity, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come_before it with shield, nor cast a bank against
133 By the way that “he tcame, by the_ same shall_he_return, and shall not come into this city, «saith J the Lorp.

34 For I -will_tdefend xthis xcity, to|>. bea save it, for Mine_own sake, and for My} shield t
servant David's sake.”
35 And it came_to_pass xthat night, that the_angel_of Jthe Lorp went_out, and smote in the_camp-of the Assyrians a hundred fourscore and five thousand :
THE ASSYR! SMITTEN 35. 2CH 21-23,
and when ¢they arose_early in the} 37.36.
morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
t. they, Tsraet.
36 So Sennacherib king_of Assyria de-| Deara
parted, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
87 And it came_to_pass, as he was_ worshipping in the_house_of Nisroch his =god, that Adrammelech and Sha- rezer his sons smote him with the sword : and thep escaped into the_land_ of «Armenia. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead,
2 IN xthose xdays was Hezekiah 0 sick unto death. And the pro- phet Isaiah the_son_of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, “Thus ssaith ‘the Lorn, ¢*Set thine house in_order ; for thou shalt_die, and not live.”

2 Then he turned his -face to the}. Give-
wall, and prayed unto 4 the Lorp, say- ing,
3 “T_beseech_Thee, O_’ Lorp, -remem- ber now rhow I have walked before Thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and shave_done that whic: Thy sight.” And Hezekiah wept sore.
4 And it came_to_pass, afore Isaiah} *
was_gone_out into the middle xcourt, that the_word_of J the Lorp came to him, saying, > “.Turn_again, and tell Hezekiah the_captain_of My people, Thus -saith ‘the Lorp, the_=God_of David th father, I -have_heard thy «prayer, shave_seen thy -tears: behold, I + heal thee: on the third xday thou shalt_ go_up_unto the_house_of / the Lorn.
