Now therefore, O L
ORD
our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth
may know that thou
art
the L
ORD
,
even
thou only.
21
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the L
ORD
God of Israel,
Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria:
22
This
is
the word which
the L
ORD
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.
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.
24
By 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.
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.
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.
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.
28
But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.
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.
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.
31
And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall
again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
32
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant,
and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the L
ORD
of hosts shall do this.
33
Therefore
thus saith the L
ORD
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.
34
By the way that he came,
by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the L
ORD
.
35
For I will defend
this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
36
Then the angel of the
L
ORD
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.
37
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
38
And
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
Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead.
