Isaiah 37

KJV

1  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when king⁴⁴²⁸ Hezekiah²³⁹⁶ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ it, that he rent^{7167 853} his clothes,⁸⁹⁹ and covered himself³⁶⁸⁰ with sackcloth,⁸²⁴² and went⁹³⁵ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

2  And he sent^{7971 853} Eliakim,⁴⁷¹ who⁸³⁴ was over⁵⁹²¹ the household,¹⁰⁰⁴ and Shebna⁷⁶⁴⁴ the scribe,⁵⁶⁰⁸ and the elders²²⁰⁵ of the priests³⁵⁴⁸ covered³⁶⁸⁰ with sackcloth,⁸²⁴² unto⁴¹³ Isaiah³⁴⁷⁰ the prophet⁵⁰³⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of Amoz.⁵³¹

3  And they said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ Hezekiah,²³⁹⁶ This²⁰⁸⁸ day³¹¹⁷ is a day³¹¹⁷ of trouble,⁶⁸⁶⁹ and of rebuke,⁸⁴³³ and of blasphemy:⁵⁰⁰⁷ for³⁵⁸⁸ the children¹¹²¹ are come⁹³⁵ to⁵⁷⁰⁴ the birth,⁴⁸⁶⁶ and there is not³⁶⁹ strength³⁵⁸¹ to bring forth.³²⁰⁵

4  It may be¹⁹⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God⁴³⁰ will hear^{8085 853} the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of Rab-shakeh,⁷²⁶² whom⁸³⁴ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria⁸⁰⁴ his master¹¹³ hath sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to reproach²⁷⁷⁸ the living²⁴¹⁶ God,⁴³⁰ and will reprove³¹⁹⁸ the words¹⁶⁹⁷ which⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God⁴³⁰ hath heard:⁸⁰⁸⁵ wherefore lift up⁵³⁷⁵ thy prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ for¹¹⁵⁷ the remnant⁷⁶¹¹ that is left.⁴⁶⁷²

5  So the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of king⁴⁴²⁸ Hezekiah²³⁹⁶ came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ Isaiah.³⁴⁷⁰

6  And Isaiah³⁴⁷⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Thus³⁵⁴¹ shall ye say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ your master,¹¹³ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Be not afraid^{3372 408} of^{4480 6440} the words¹⁶⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ thou hast heard,⁸⁰⁸⁵ wherewith⁸³⁴ the servants⁵²⁸⁸ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria⁸⁰⁴ have blasphemed¹⁴⁴² me.

7  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will send⁵⁴¹⁴ a blast⁷³⁰⁷ upon him, and he shall hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ a rumor,⁸⁰⁵² and return⁷⁷²⁵ to⁴¹³ his own land;⁷⁷⁶ and I will cause him to fall⁵³⁰⁷ by the sword²⁷¹⁹ in his own land.⁷⁷⁶

8  So Rab-shakeh⁷²⁶² returned,⁷⁷²⁵ and found^{4672 853} the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria⁸⁰⁴ warring³⁸⁹⁸ against⁵⁹²¹ Libnah:³⁸⁴¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ he had heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ he was departed⁵²⁶⁵ from Lachish.^{4480 3923}

9  And he heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ say⁵⁵⁹ concerning⁵⁹²¹ Tirhakah⁸⁶⁴⁰ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Ethiopia,³⁵⁶⁸ He is come forth³³¹⁸ to make war³⁸⁹⁸ with⁸⁵⁴ thee. And when he heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ it, he sent⁷⁹⁷¹ messengers⁴³⁹⁷ to⁴¹³ Hezekiah,²³⁹⁶ saying,⁵⁵⁹

10  Thus³⁵⁴¹ shall ye speak⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ Hezekiah²³⁹⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Let not⁴⁰⁸ thy God,⁴³⁰ in whom⁸³⁴ thou⁸⁵⁹ trustest,⁹⁸² deceive⁵³⁷⁷ thee, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be given⁵⁴¹⁴ into the hand³⁰²⁷ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria.⁸⁰⁴

11  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ thou⁸⁵⁹ hast heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ what⁸³⁴ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria⁸⁰⁴ have done⁶²¹³ to all³⁶⁰⁵ lands⁷⁷⁶ by destroying them utterly;²⁷⁶³ and shalt thou⁸⁵⁹ be delivered?⁵³³⁷

12  Have the gods⁴³⁰ of the nations¹⁴⁷¹ delivered⁵³³⁷ them which⁸³⁴ my fathers¹ have destroyed,⁷⁸⁴³ as ⁸⁵³ Gozan,¹⁴⁷⁰ and Haran,²⁷⁷¹ and Rezeph,⁷⁵³⁰ and the children¹¹²¹ of Eden⁵⁷²⁹ which⁸³⁴ were in Telassar?⁸⁵¹⁵

13  Where³⁴⁶ is the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Hamath,²⁵⁷⁴ and the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Arphad,⁷⁷⁴ and the king⁴⁴²⁸ of the city⁵⁸⁹² of Sepharvaim,⁵⁶¹⁷ Hena,²⁰¹² and Ivah?⁵⁷⁵⁵

14  And Hezekiah²³⁹⁶ received^{3947 853} the letter⁵⁶¹² from the hand^{4480 3027} of the messengers,⁴³⁹⁷ and read⁷¹²¹ it: and Hezekiah²³⁹⁶ went up⁵⁹²⁷ unto the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and spread⁶⁵⁶⁶ it before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

15  And Hezekiah²³⁹⁶ prayed⁶⁴¹⁹ unto⁴¹³ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹

16  O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that dwellest³⁴²⁷ between the cherubims,³⁷⁴² thou⁸⁵⁹ art the God,⁴³⁰ even thou alone,⁹⁰⁵ of all³⁶⁰⁵ the kingdoms⁴⁴⁶⁷ of the earth:⁷⁷⁶ thou⁸⁵⁹ hast made^{6213 853} heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ and earth.⁷⁷⁶

17  Incline⁵¹⁸⁶ thine ear,²⁴¹ O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and hear;⁸⁰⁸⁵ open⁶⁴⁹¹ thine eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and see:⁷²⁰⁰ and hear^{8085 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of Sennacherib,⁵⁵⁷⁶ which⁸³⁴ hath sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to reproach²⁷⁷⁸ the living²⁴¹⁶ God.⁴³⁰

18  Of a truth,⁵⁵¹ LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria⁸⁰⁴ have laid waste^{2717 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the nations,⁷⁷⁶ and their countries,⁷⁷⁶

19  And have cast^{5414 853} their gods⁴³⁰ into the fire:⁷⁸⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ they¹⁹⁹² were no³⁸⁰⁸ gods,⁴³⁰ but^{3588 518} the work⁴⁶³⁹ of men's¹²⁰ hands,³⁰²⁷ wood⁶⁰⁸⁶ and stone:⁶⁸ therefore they have destroyed⁶ them.

20  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore, O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God,⁴³⁰ save³⁴⁶⁷ us from his hand,^{4480 3027} that all³⁶⁰⁵ the kingdoms⁴⁴⁶⁷ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ may know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ art the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ even thou only.⁹⁰⁵

21  Then Isaiah³⁴⁷⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of Amoz⁵³¹ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ unto⁴¹³ Hezekiah,²³⁹⁶ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ Whereas⁸³⁴ thou hast prayed⁶⁴¹⁹ to⁴¹³ me against⁴¹³ Sennacherib⁵⁵⁷⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria:⁸⁰⁴

22  This²⁰⁸⁸ is the word¹⁶⁹⁷ which⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ concerning⁵⁹²¹ him; The virgin,¹³³⁰ the daughter¹³²³ of Zion,⁶⁷²⁶ hath despised⁹³⁶ thee, and laughed thee to scorn;³⁹³² the daughter¹³²³ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ hath shaken⁵¹²⁸ her head⁷²¹⁸ at³¹⁰ thee.

23  ⁸⁵³ Whom⁴³¹⁰ hast thou reproached²⁷⁷⁸ and blasphemed?¹⁴⁴² and against⁵⁹²¹ whom⁴³¹⁰ hast thou exalted⁷³¹¹ thy voice,⁶⁹⁶³ and lifted up⁵³⁷⁵ thine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ on high?⁴⁷⁹¹ even against⁴¹³ the Holy One⁶⁹¹⁸ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

24  By³⁰²⁷ thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ hast thou reproached²⁷⁷⁸ the Lord,¹³⁶ and hast said,⁵⁵⁹ By the multitude⁷²³⁰ of my chariots⁷³⁹³ am I⁵⁸⁹ come up⁵⁹²⁷ to the height⁴⁷⁹¹ of the mountains,²⁰²² to the sides³⁴¹¹ of Lebanon;³⁸⁴⁴ and I will cut down³⁷⁷² the tall⁶⁹⁶⁷ cedars⁷³⁰ thereof, and the choice⁴⁰⁰⁵ fir trees¹²⁶⁵ thereof: and I will enter⁹³⁵ into the height⁴⁷⁹¹ of his border,⁷⁰⁹³ and the forest³²⁹³ of his Carmel.³⁷⁵⁹

25  I⁵⁸⁹ have digged,⁶⁹⁷⁹ and drunk⁸³⁵⁴ water;⁴³²⁵ and with the sole³⁷⁰⁹ of my feet⁶⁴⁷¹ have I dried up²⁷¹⁷ all³⁶⁰⁵ the rivers²⁹⁷⁵ of the besieged places.⁴⁶⁹³

26  Hast thou not³⁸⁰⁸ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ long ago,^{4480 7350} how I have done⁶²¹³ it; and of ancient⁶⁹²⁴ times,^{4480 3117} that I have formed³³³⁵ it? now⁶²⁵⁸ have I brought it to pass,⁹³⁵ that thou shouldest be¹⁹⁶¹ to lay waste⁷⁵⁸² defensed¹²¹⁹ cities⁵⁸⁹² into ruinous⁵³²⁷ heaps.¹⁵³⁰

27  Therefore their inhabitants³⁴²⁷ were of small⁷¹¹⁶ power,³⁰²⁷ they were dismayed²⁸⁶⁵ and confounded:⁹⁵⁴ they were¹⁹⁶¹ as the grass⁶²¹² of the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ and as the green³⁴¹⁹ herb,¹⁸⁷⁷ as the grass²⁶⁸² on the housetops,¹⁴⁰⁶ and as corn blasted⁷⁷¹¹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ it be grown up.⁷⁰⁵⁴

28  But I know³⁰⁴⁵ thy abode,³⁴²⁷ and thy going out,³³¹⁸ and thy coming in,⁹³⁵ and thy rage⁷²⁶⁴ against⁴¹³ me.

29  Because³²⁸² thy rage⁷²⁶⁴ against⁴¹³ me, and thy tumult,⁷⁶⁰⁰ is come up⁵⁹²⁷ into mine ears,²⁴¹ therefore will I put⁷⁷⁶⁰ my hook²³⁹⁷ in thy nose,⁶³⁹ and my bridle⁴⁹⁶⁴ in thy lips,⁸¹⁹³ and I will turn thee back⁷⁷²⁵ by the way¹⁸⁷⁰ by which⁸³⁴ thou camest.⁹³⁵

30  And this²⁰⁸⁸ shall be a sign²²⁶ unto thee, Ye shall eat³⁹⁸ this year⁸¹⁴¹ such as groweth of itself;⁵⁵⁹⁹ and the second⁸¹⁴⁵ year⁸¹⁴¹ that which springeth of the same:⁷⁸²³ and in the third⁷⁹⁹² year⁸¹⁴¹ sow²²³² ye, and reap,⁷¹¹⁴ and plant⁵¹⁹³ vineyards,³⁷⁵⁴ and eat³⁹⁸ the fruit⁶⁵²⁹ thereof.

31  And the remnant⁷⁶⁰⁴ that is escaped⁶⁴¹³ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Judah³⁰⁶³ shall again³²⁵⁴ take root⁸³²⁸ downward,⁴²⁹⁵ and bear⁶²¹³ fruit⁶⁵²⁹ upward:⁴⁶⁰⁵

32  For³⁵⁸⁸ out of Jerusalem^{4480 3389} shall go forth³³¹⁸ a remnant,⁷⁶¹¹ and they that escape⁶⁴¹³ out of mount^{4480 2022} Zion:⁶⁷²⁶ the zeal⁷⁰⁶⁸ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts⁶⁶³⁵ shall do⁶²¹³ this.²⁰⁶³

33  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ concerning⁴¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria,⁸⁰⁴ He shall not³⁸⁰⁸ come⁹³⁵ into⁴¹³ this²⁰⁶³ city,⁵⁸⁹² nor³⁸⁰⁸ shoot³³⁸⁴ an arrow²⁶⁷¹ there,⁸⁰³³ nor³⁸⁰⁸ come before⁶⁹²³ it with shields,⁴⁰⁴³ nor³⁸⁰⁸ cast⁸²¹⁰ a bank⁵⁵⁵⁰ against⁵⁹²¹ it.

34  By the way¹⁸⁷⁰ that⁸³⁴ he came,⁹³⁵ by the same shall he return,⁷⁷²⁵ and shall not³⁸⁰⁸ come⁹³⁵ into⁴¹³ this²⁰⁶³ city,⁵⁸⁹² saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

35  For I will defend^{1598 5921} this²⁰⁶³ city⁵⁸⁹² to save³⁴⁶⁷ it for mine own sake,⁴⁶¹⁶ and for my servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ David's¹⁷³² sake.⁴⁶¹⁶

36  Then the angel⁴³⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ went forth,³³¹⁸ and smote⁵²²¹ in the camp⁴²⁶⁴ of the Assyrians⁸⁰⁴ a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fourscore⁸⁰⁸⁴ and five²⁵⁶⁸ thousand:⁵⁰⁵ and when they arose early⁷⁹²⁵ in the morning,¹²⁴² behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they were all³⁶⁰⁵ dead⁴¹⁹¹ corpses.⁶²⁹⁷

37  So Sennacherib⁵⁵⁷⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria⁸⁰⁴ departed,⁵²⁶⁵ and went¹⁹⁸⁰ and returned,⁷⁷²⁵ and dwelt³⁴²⁷ at Nineveh.⁵²¹⁰

38  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ as he¹⁹³¹ was worshiping⁷⁸¹² in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Nisroch⁵²⁶⁸ his god,⁴³⁰ that Adrammelech¹⁵² and Sharezer⁸²⁷² his sons¹¹²¹ smote⁵²²¹ him with the sword;²⁷¹⁹ and they¹⁹⁹² escaped⁴⁴²² into the land⁷⁷⁶ of Armenia:⁷⁸⁰ and Esar-haddon⁶³⁴ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸

1 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαι τὸν βασιλέα Εζεκιαν ἔσχισεν τὰ ἱμάτια καὶ σάκκον περιεβάλετο καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς τὸν οἶκον κυρίου

2 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ελιακιμ τὸν οἰκονόμον καὶ Σομναν τὸν γραμματέα καὶ τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους τῶν ἱερέων περιβεβλημένους σάκκους πρὸς Ησαιαν υἱὸν Αμως τὸν προφήτην

3 καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ τάδε λέγει Εζεκιας ἡμέρα θλίψεως καὶ ὀνειδισμοῦ καὶ ἐλεγμοῦ καὶ ὀργῆς ἡ σήμερον ἡμέρα ὅτι ἥκει ἡ ὠδὶν τῇ τικτούσῃ ἰσχὺν δὲ οὐκ ἔχει τοῦ τεκεῖν

4 εἰσακούσαι κύριος ὁ θεός σου τοὺς λόγους Ραψακου οὓς ἀπέστειλεν βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων ὀνειδίζειν θεὸν ζῶντα καὶ ὀνειδίζειν λόγους οὓς ἤκουσεν κύριος ὁ θεός σου καὶ δεηθήσῃ πρὸς κύριον τὸν θεόν σου περὶ τῶν καταλελειμμένων τούτων

5 καὶ ἦλθον οἱ παῖδες τοῦ βασιλέως πρὸς Ησαιαν

6 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ησαιας οὕτως ἐρεῖτε πρὸς τὸν κύριον ὑμῶν τάδε λέγει κύριος μὴ φοβηθῇς ἀπὸ τῶν λόγων ὧν ἤκουσας οὓς ὠνείδισάν με οἱ πρέσβεις βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων

7 ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐμβαλῶ εἰς αὐτὸν πνεῦμα καὶ ἀκούσας ἀγγελίαν ἀποστραφήσεται εἰς τὴν χώραν αὐτοῦ καὶ πεσεῖται μαχαίρᾳ ἐν τῇ γῇ αὐτοῦ

8 καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν Ραψακης καὶ κατέλαβεν πολιορκοῦντα τὸν βασιλέα Λομναν καὶ ἤκουσεν βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων ὅτι

9 ἐξῆλθεν Θαρακα βασιλεὺς Αἰθιόπων πολιορκῆσαι αὐτόν καὶ ἀκούσας ἀπέστρεψεν καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους πρὸς Εζεκιαν λέγων

10 οὕτως ἐρεῖτε Εζεκια βασιλεῖ τῆς Ιουδαίας μή σε ἀπατάτω ὁ θεός σου ἐφ᾽ ᾧ πεποιθὼς εἶ ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ λέγων οὐ μὴ παραδοθῇ Ιερουσαλημ εἰς χεῖρας βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων

11 ἢ οὐκ ἤκουσας ἃ ἐποίησαν βασιλεῖς Ἀσσυρίων πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ὡς ἀπώλεσαν

12 μὴ ἐρρύσαντο αὐτοὺς οἱ θεοὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν οὓς οἱ πατέρες μου ἀπώλεσαν τήν τε Γωζαν καὶ Χαρραν καὶ Ραφες αἵ εἰσιν ἐν χώρᾳ Θεμαδ

13 ποῦ εἰσιν οἱ βασιλεῖς Αιμαθ καὶ Αρφαθ καὶ πόλεως Σεπφαριμ Αναγ Ουγαυα

14 καὶ ἔλαβεν Εζεκιας τὸ βιβλίον παρὰ τῶν ἀγγέλων καὶ ἤνοιξεν αὐτὸ ἐναντίον κυρίου

15 καὶ προσεύξατο Εζεκιας πρὸς κύριον λέγων

16 κύριε σαβαωθ ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ ὁ καθήμενος ἐπὶ τῶν χερουβιν σὺ θεὸς μόνος εἶ πάσης βασιλείας τῆς οἰκουμένης σὺ ἐποίησας τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν

17 εἰσάκουσον κύριε εἴσβλεψον κύριε καὶ ἰδὲ τοὺς λόγους οὓς ἀπέστειλεν Σενναχηριμ ὀνειδίζειν θεὸν ζῶντα

18 ἐπ᾽ ἀληθείας γὰρ ἠρήμωσαν βασιλεῖς Ἀσσυρίων τὴν οἰκουμένην ὅλην καὶ τὴν χώραν αὐτῶν

19 καὶ ἐνέβαλον τὰ εἴδωλα αὐτῶν εἰς τὸ πῦρ οὐ γὰρ θεοὶ ἦσαν ἀλλὰ ἔργα χειρῶν ἀνθρώπων ξύλα καὶ λίθοι καὶ ἀπώλεσαν αὐτούς

20 σὺ δέ κύριε ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν σῶσον ἡμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτῶν ἵνα γνῷ πᾶσα βασιλεία τῆς γῆς ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ θεὸς μόνος

21 καὶ ἀπεστάλη Ησαιας υἱὸς Αμως πρὸς Εζεκιαν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ ἤκουσα ἃ προσηύξω πρός με περὶ Σενναχηριμ βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων

22 οὗτος ὁ λόγος ὃν ἐλάλησεν περὶ αὐτοῦ ὁ θεός ἐφαύλισέν σε καὶ ἐμυκτήρισέν σε παρθένος θυγάτηρ Σιων ἐπὶ σοὶ κεφαλὴν ἐκίνησεν θυγάτηρ Ιερουσαλημ

23 τίνα ὠνείδισας καὶ παρώξυνας ἢ πρὸς τίνα ὕψωσας τὴν φωνήν σου καὶ οὐκ ἦρας εἰς ὕψος τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου εἰς τὸν ἅγιον τοῦ Ισραηλ

24 ὅτι δι᾽ ἀγγέλων ὠνείδισας κύριον σὺ γὰρ εἶπας τῷ πλήθει τῶν ἁρμάτων ἐγὼ ἀνέβην εἰς ὕψος ὀρέων καὶ εἰς τὰ ἔσχατα τοῦ Λιβάνου καὶ ἔκοψα τὸ ὕψος τῆς κέδρου αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ κάλλος τῆς κυπαρίσσου καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς ὕψος μέρους τοῦ δρυμοῦ

25 καὶ ἔθηκα γέφυραν καὶ ἠρήμωσα ὕδατα καὶ πᾶσαν συναγωγὴν ὕδατος

26 οὐ ταῦτα ἤκουσας πάλαι ἃ ἐγὼ ἐποίησα ἐξ ἀρχαίων ἡμερῶν συνέταξα νῦν δὲ ἐπέδειξα ἐξερημῶσαι ἔθνη ἐν ὀχυροῖς καὶ ἐνοικοῦντας ἐν πόλεσιν ὀχυραῖς

27 ἀνῆκα τὰς χεῖρας καὶ ἐξηράνθησαν καὶ ἐγένοντο ὡς χόρτος ξηρὸς ἐπὶ δωμάτων καὶ ὡς ἄγρωστις

28 νῦν δὲ τὴν ἀνάπαυσίν σου καὶ τὴν ἔξοδόν σου καὶ τὴν εἴσοδόν σου ἐγὼ ἐπίσταμαι

29 ὁ δὲ θυμός σου ὃν ἐθυμώθης καὶ ἡ πικρία σου ἀνέβη πρός με καὶ ἐμβαλῶ φιμὸν εἰς τὴν ῥῖνά σου καὶ χαλινὸν εἰς τὰ χείλη σου καὶ ἀποστρέψω σε τῇ ὁδῷ ᾗ ἦλθες ἐν αὐτῇ

30 τοῦτο δέ σοι τὸ σημεῖον φάγε τοῦτον τὸν ἐνιαυτὸν ἃ ἔσπαρκας τῷ δὲ ἐνιαυτῷ τῷ δευτέρῳ τὸ κατάλειμμα τῷ δὲ τρίτῳ σπείραντες ἀμήσατε καὶ φυτεύσατε ἀμπελῶνας καὶ φάγεσθε τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῶν

31 καὶ ἔσονται οἱ καταλελειμμένοι ἐν τῇ Ιουδαίᾳ φυήσουσιν ῥίζαν κάτω καὶ ποιήσουσιν σπέρμα ἄνω

32 ὅτι ἐξ Ιερουσαλημ ἐξελεύσονται οἱ καταλελειμμένοι καὶ οἱ σῳζόμενοι ἐξ ὄρους Σιων ὁ ζῆλος κυρίου σαβαωθ ποιήσει ταῦτα

33 διὰ τοῦτο οὕτως λέγει κύριος ἐπὶ βασιλέα Ἀσσυρίων οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃ εἰς τὴν πόλιν ταύτην οὐδὲ μὴ βάλῃ ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν βέλος οὐδὲ μὴ ἐπιβάλῃ ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν θυρεὸν οὐδὲ μὴ κυκλώσῃ ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν χάρακα

34 ἀλλὰ τῇ ὁδῷ ᾗ ἦλθεν ἐν αὐτῇ ἀποστραφήσεται τάδε λέγει κύριος

35 ὑπερασπιῶ ὑπὲρ τῆς πόλεως ταύτης τοῦ σῶσαι αὐτὴν δι᾽ ἐμὲ καὶ διὰ Δαυιδ τὸν παῖδά μου

36 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἄγγελος κυρίου καὶ ἀνεῖλεν ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς τῶν Ἀσσυρίων ἑκατὸν ὀγδοήκοντα πέντε χιλιάδας καὶ ἐξαναστάντες τὸ πρωὶ εὗρον πάντα τὰ σώματα νεκρά

37 καὶ ἀποστραφεὶς ἀπῆλθεν βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων καὶ ᾤκησεν ἐν Νινευη

38 καὶ ἐν τῷ αὐτὸν προσκυνεῖν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Νασαραχ τὸν παταχρον αὐτοῦ Αδραμελεχ καὶ Σαρασαρ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπάταξαν αὐτὸν μαχαίραις αὐτοὶ δὲ διεσώθησαν εἰς Ἀρμενίαν καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ασορδαν ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾽ αὐτοῦ

1 Et factum est, cum audisset rex Ezechias, scidit vestimenta sua, et obvolutus est sacco, et intravit in domum Domini.

2 Et misit Eliacim, qui erat super domum, et Sobnam scribam, et seniores de sacerdotibus, opertos saccis, ad Isaiam, filium Amos, prophetam,

3 et dixerunt ad eum: Hæc dicit Ezechias: Dies tribulationis, et correptionis, et blasphemiæ, dies hæc; quia venerunt filii usque ad partum, et virtus non est pariendi.

4 Si quomodo audiat Dominus Deus tuus verba Rabsacis, quem misit rex Assyriorum dominus suus ad blasphemandum Deum viventem et exprobrandum sermonibus quos audivit Dominus Deus tuus: leva ergo orationem pro reliquiis quæ repertæ sunt.

5 Et venerunt servi regis Ezechiæ ad Isaiam.

6 Et dixit ad eos Isaias: Hæc dicetis domino vestro: Hæc dicit Dominus: Ne timeas a facie verborum quæ audisti, quibus blasphemaverunt pueri regis Assyriorum me.

7 Ecce ego dabo ei spiritum, et audiet nuntium, et revertetur ad terram suam, et corruere eum faciam gladio in terra sua.

8 Reversus est autem Rabsaces, et invenit regem Assyriorum præliantem adversus Lobnam: audierat enim quia profectus esset de Lachis.

9 Et audivit de Tharaca rege Æthiopiæ, dicentes: Egressus est ut pugnet contra te. Quod cum audisset, misit nuntios ad Ezechiam, dicens:

10 Hæc dicetis Ezechiæ regi Judæ, loquentes: Non te decipiat Deus tuus in quo tu confidis, dicens: Non dabitur Jerusalem in manu regis Assyriorum.

11 Ecce tu audisti omnia quæ fecerunt reges Assyriorum omnibus terris, quas subverterunt: et tu poteris liberari?

12 Numquid eruerunt eos dii gentium quos subverterunt patres mei, Gozam, et Haram, et Reseph, et filios Eden qui erant in Thalassar?

13 Ubi est rex Emath, et rex Arphad, et rex urbis Sepharvaim, Ana, et Ava?

14 Et tulit Ezechias libros de manu nuntiorum, et legit eos, et ascendit in domum Domini, et expandit eos Ezechias coram Domino:

15 et oravit Ezechias ad Dominum, dicens:

16 Domine exercituum, Deus Israël, qui sedes super cherubim, tu es Deus solus omnium regnorum terræ: tu fecisti cælum et terram.

17 Inclina, Domine, aurem tuam, et audi; aperi, Domine, oculos tuos, et vide: et audi omnia verba Sennacherib, quæ misit ad blasphemandum Deum viventem.

18 Vere enim, Domine, desertas fecerunt reges Assyriorum terras, et regiones earum,

19 et dederunt deos earum igni: non enim erant dii, sed opera manuum hominum, lignum et lapis, et comminuerunt eos.

20 Et nunc, Domine Deus noster, salva nos de manu ejus, et cognoscant omnia regna terræ quia tu es Dominus solus.

21 Et misit Isaias, filius Amos, ad Ezechiam, dicens: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël: Pro quibus rogasti me de Sennacherib, rege Assyriorum,

22 hoc est verbum quod locutus est Dominus super eum: [Despexit te et subsannavit te,
virgo filia Sion;
post te caput movit,
filia Jerusalem.

23 Cui exprobrasti? et quem blasphemasti?
et super quem exaltasti vocem,
et levasti altitudinem oculorum tuorum?
ad Sanctum Israël.

24 In manu servorum tuorum exprobrasti Domino,
et dixisti: In multitudine quadrigarum mearum
ego ascendi altitudinem montium juga Libani;
et succidam excelsa cedrorum ejus,
et electas abietes illius,
et introibo altitudinem summitatis ejus,
saltum Carmeli ejus.

25 Ego fodi, et bibi aquam,
et exsiccavi vestigio pedis mei
omnes rivos aggerum.

26 Numquid non audisti quæ olim fecerim ei?
Ex diebus antiquis ego plasmavi illud;
et nunc adduxi,
et factum est in eradicationem collium compugnantium,
et civitatum munitarum.

27 Habitatores earum breviata manu
contremuerunt, et confusi sunt.
Facti sunt sicut fœnum agri,
et gramen pascuæ,
et herba tectorum,
quæ exaruit antequam maturesceret.

28 Habitationem tuam, et egressum tuum,
et introitum tuum cognovi,
et insaniam tuam contra me.

29 Cum fureres adversum me,
superbia tua ascendit in aures meas.
Ponam ergo circulum in naribus tuis,
et frenum in labiis tuis,
et reducam te in viam
per quem venisti.]

30 Tibi autem hoc erit signum: comede hoc anno quæ sponte nascuntur, et in anno secundo pomis vescere; in anno autem tertio seminate et metite, et plantate vineas, et comedite fructum earum.

31 Et mittet id quod salvatum fuerit de domo Juda, et quod reliquum est, radicem deorsum, et faciet fructum sursum:

32 quia de Jerusalem exibunt reliquiæ, et salvatio de monte Sion: zelus Domini exercituum faciet istud.

33 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus de rege Assyriorum: [Non intrabit civitatem hanc,
et non jaciet ibi sagittam,
et non occupabit eam clypeus,
et non mittet in circuitu ejus aggerem.

34 In via qua venit, per eam revertetur,
et civitatem hanc non ingredietur, dicit Dominus.

35 Et protegam civitatem istam, ut salvem eam
propter me, et propter David, servum meum.]

36 Egressus est autem angelus Domini, et percussit in castris Assyriorum centum octoginta quinque millia. Et surrexerunt mane, et ecce omnes cadavera mortuorum.

37 Et egressus est, et abiit, et reversus est Sennacherib, rex Assyriorum, et habitavit in Ninive.

38 Et factum est, cum adoraret in templo Nesroch deum suum, Adramelech et Sarasar, filii ejus, percusserunt eum gladio, fugeruntque in terram Ararat; et regnavit Asarhaddon, filius ejus, pro eo.
