Isaiah, CHAPTER 37

1

When King Hezekiah heard this, he tore his garments, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD.

2

He sent Eliakim, the master of the palace, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to tell the prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz,

3

“Thus says Hezekiah:
A day of distress and rebuke,
a day of disgrace is this day!
Children are due to come forth,
but the strength to give birth is lacking.

4

Perhaps the LORD, your God, will hear the words of the commander, whom his lord, the king of Assyria, sent to taunt the living God, and will rebuke him for the words which the LORD, your God, has heard. So lift up a prayer for the remnant that is here.”

5

When the servants of King Hezekiah had come to Isaiah,

6

he said to them: “Tell this to your lord: Thus says the LORD: Do not be frightened by the words you have heard, by which the deputies of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.

7

I am putting in him such a spirit
that when he hears a report
he will return to his land.
I will make him fall by the sword in his land.”

8

When the commander, on his return, heard that the king of Assyria had withdrawn from Lachish, he found him besieging Libnah.

9

The king of Assyria heard a report: “Tirhakah, king of Ethiopia, has come out to fight against you.” Again he sent messengers to Hezekiah to say:

10

“Thus shall you say to Hezekiah, king of Judah: Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you by saying, ‘Jerusalem will not be handed over to the king of Assyria.’

11

You, certainly, have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands: they put them under the ban! And are you to be delivered?

12

Did the gods of the nations whom my fathers destroyed deliver them―Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the Edenites in Telassar?

13

Where are the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, or a king of the cities Sepharvaim, Hena or Ivvah?”

14

Hezekiah took the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it; then he went up to the house of the LORD, and spreading it out before the LORD,

15

Hezekiah prayed to the LORD:

16

“LORD of hosts, God of Israel,
enthroned on the cherubim!
You alone are God
over all the kingdoms of the earth.
It is you who made
the heavens and the earth.

17

Incline your ear, LORD, and listen!
open your eyes, LORD, and see!
Hear all the words Sennacherib has sent
to taunt the living God.

18

Truly, O LORD,
the kings of Assyria have laid waste
the nations and their lands.

19

They gave their gods to the fire
―they were not gods at all,
but the work of human hands―
Wood and stone, they destroyed them.

20

Therefore, LORD, our God,
save us from this man’s power,
That all the kingdoms of the earth may know
that you alone, LORD, are God.”

21

Then Isaiah, son of Amoz, sent this message to Hezekiah: “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, to whom you have prayed concerning Sennacherib, king of Assyria: I have listened!

22

This is the word the LORD has spoken concerning him:
She despises you, laughs you to scorn,
the virgin daughter Zion;
Behind you she wags her head,
daughter Jerusalem.

23

Whom have you insulted and blasphemed,
at whom have you raised your voice
And lifted up your eyes on high?
At the Holy One of Israel!

24

Through the mouths of your messengers
you have insulted the Lord when you said:
‘With my many chariots I went up
to the tops of the peaks,
to the recesses of Lebanon,
To cut down its lofty cedars,
its choice cypresses;
I reached the farthest shelter,
the forest ranges.

25

I myself dug wells
and drank foreign water;
Drying up all the rivers of Egypt
beneath the soles of my feet.’

26

Have you not heard?
A long time ago I prepared it,
from days of old I planned it,
Now I have brought it about:
You are here to reduce
fortified cities to heaps of ruins,

27

Their people powerless,
dismayed and distraught,
They are plants of the field,
green growth,
thatch on the rooftops,
Grain scorched by the east wind.

28

I know when you stand or sit,
when you come or go,
and how you rage against me.

29

Because you rage against me
and your smugness has reached my ears,
I will put my hook in your nose
and my bit in your mouth,
And make you leave by the way you came.

30

This shall be a sign for you:
This year you shall eat the aftergrowth,
next year, what grows of itself;
But in the third year, sow and reap,
plant vineyards and eat their fruit!

31

The remaining survivors of the house of Judah
shall again strike root below
and bear fruit above.

32

For out of Jerusalem shall come a remnant,
and from Mount Zion, survivors.
The zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.

33

Therefore, thus says the LORD about the king of Assyria:
He shall not come as far as this city,
nor shoot there an arrow,
nor confront it with a shield
Nor cast up a siege-work against it.

34

By the way he came he shall leave,
never coming as far as this city,
oracle of the LORD.

35

I will shield and save this city
for my own sake and the sake of David my servant.”

36

Then the angel of the LORD went forth and struck down one hundred and eighty-five thousand in the Assyrian camp. Early the next morning, there they were, all those corpses, dead!

37

So Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, broke camp, departed, returned home, and stayed in Nineveh.

38

When he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him down with the sword and fled into the land of Ararat. His son Esarhaddon reigned in his place.
