RF ISA 37:1 But when Hezekiah heard it he tore his own robes, and put on a sack, and went to the House of the EVER-LIVING.
RF ISA 37:2 But he sent Eliakim the Premier, and Shebna the Secretary, and the Chiefs of the Priesthood, with sacks upon their waists to Isaiah-ben-Amoz, the Prophet,
RF ISA 37:3 and they said to him;—"Hezekiah says this,—To-day is a day of distress, and insult, and contempt;—for the children have come to birth and there is not strength to bear them.—
RF ISA 37:4 "Your EVER-LIVING GOD has already heard the words of Rabshakah whom his master the King of Ashur has sent to revile the GOD OF LIFE, and to insult Him with the words which your EVER-LIVING GOD has heard,—therefore lift up a prayer for the remnants left."
RF ISA 37:5 The Ministers of Hezekiah went thus to Isaiah, and Isaiah replied to them:—"
RF ISA 37:6 Say this to your Prince; The EVER-LIVING answers thus;—Fear not the speeches which you have heard in which that Lad of the King of Ashur blasphemed against Me. I will send a Terror to him,
RF ISA 37:7 when he hears a rumour, and he will return to his own country, and he shall fall by the sword in his own land."
RF ISA 37:8 Rabshakah then withdrew and met the King of Ashur besieging Libnah, for he heard that he had retreated from Lakish.
RF ISA 37:9 Then he heard about Thirakah, King of Cush, saying "He is advancing to fight with you;" he attended to it;—
RF ISA 37:10 but sent messengers to Hezekiah to threaten;—say this to Hezekiah King of Judah; "Trust not your GOD, upon Whom you rely when you say,
RF ISA 37:11 'HE will not give Jerusalem to the hand of the King of Ashur!' For you have heard what the Kings of Ashur have done to all Countries to ruin them,—and can you escape?"
RF ISA 37:12 Have the gods of those Nations protected those whom my Ancestors desolated? Gozan, and Kharan, and Retzaf, and the Children of Eden who were in Thalasar?—
RF ISA 37:13 Where is the King of Khamath?—and the King of Arfad?—and the King of thecities of the Sefarvaim?—Hena and Avah?"
RF ISA 37:14 Hezekiah's Prayer.
When Hezekiah received the letters from the hands of the Messengers, he read them, and then went up to the House of the EVER-LIVING, where Hezekiah spread them before the presence of the EVER-LIVING;
RF ISA 37:15 and Hezekiah prayed to the EVER-LIVING, and said;—
RF ISA 37:16 "EVER-LIVING ALMIGHTY GOD of Israel, Who dwell with the Kerubim;—You are the ONLY GOD of all the Kingdoms of the Earth, for You made the Heavens and the Earth.—
RF ISA 37:17 Bend, EVER-LIVING, Your ear and hear; open, EVER-LIVING, Your eye and see and hear all the words that Senakerib has sent to insult the GOD OF LIFE."
RF ISA 37:18 Truly, EVER-LIVING, the Kings of Ashur have ruined all the Countries and their lands,
RF ISA 37:19 and have thrown their gods into the fire,—for they were not GODS,—but only the work of men's hands, from wood and stone,—and were destructible.
RF ISA 37:20 "But now our EVER-LIVING GOD, can save us from his hand, when all the Kingdoms of the Earth will know that You alone are EVER-LIVING."
RF ISA 37:21 Isaiah-ben-Amoz the Preacher, afterwards sent to Hezekiah to say; "Thus says the EVER-LIVING GOD of Israel,—"'Since you prayed to Me about the King of Ashur,—This is the reply which the EVER-LIVING sends to him.'"
RF ISA 37:22 ODE 56.
God's reply to Rabshakah and Senakerib.
"At you the scornful Virgin daughter of Zion laughs;—
Jerusalem's Daughter following shakes her head.
RF ISA 37:23 Against Whom is your libelous insult?
Against Whom do you raise up your voice,
And lift up your insolent eyes?
Against the HOLY OF ISRAEL!
RF ISA 37:24 "'By the hand of your Slave you insulted MY Prince;—
"With my crowd of chariots," you said, "I ride over the hill tops,
Over Lebanon striding, I fell his tall Cedars, And beautiful Pines; And lodge on the high cliff of his forest of Carmel!
RF ISA 37:25 I have dug and drank water,
And dried with my soles all the moats of the Forts!"
RF ISA 37:26 "Have you not heard from afar of My actions aforetime?
How I planned you to bring to them all desolation?
To turn fortified Cities to ruinous heaps?
RF ISA 37:27 Made them crops to your hand, and depressed!
Like field plants, and green grass on town roofs,
Scorched up before grown?
RF ISA 37:28 "'And your campaigns, and march, and advancing I knew;—
RF ISA 37:29 And your rage against Me,—Yes! your rage against Me,—
And your fury has come to My ears!—
So MY hook I will put in your nose, and My bit in your jaws,
And lead back by the way that you came!
RF ISA 37:30 For your proof,—eat self-sowings this year;
And the next year the same;
Sow and reap in the third,
And plant vines and eat fruits.
RF ISA 37:31 "Judah's house from its fragments in safety shall rise,
Branches spring from the root and bear fruit up aloft;
RF ISA 37:32 From Jerusalem fragments shall go,
And a flight from Mount Zion;—
As the LORD OF HOSTS' power decrees.
RF ISA 37:33 "
'Ashur's King shall not come to this town,' says the LORD, '
Nor shoot there an arrow, nor lift up a shield,
Nor against it a rampart heap up.
RF ISA 37:34 By the way he advanced by that way he shall go,
And not come to this City, the LORD has declared.—
RF ISA 37:35 I guard over this City and save for Myself,
And for David My servant."
RF ISA 37:36 The Destruction of the Army of Ashur.
A Messenger also was sent from the LORD, and he struck one hundred and eighty-five thousand in the camp of Ashur; and when they awoke in the morning they saw all those dead bodies.
RF ISA 37:37 Then Senakerib, King of Ashur, struck his tents and marched and retreated to Nineveh, and returned to Nineveh.
RF ISA 37:38 There while he was worshipping in the temple of his god Nisrok, Adramelek and Sharatzer his sons slew him with a sword. They afterwards fled to the High-lands, and Asar-haddon his son succeeded him.
