KJVAnd have cast^H5414^(H8800) their gods^H430 into the fire^H784: for they were no gods^H430, but the work^H4639 of men's^H120 hands^H3027, wood^H6086 and stone^H68: therefore they have destroyed^H6^(H8762) them.

KJVThis is the word^H1697 which the LORD^H3068 hath spoken^H1696^(H8765) concerning him; The virgin^H1330, the daughter^H1323 of Zion^H6726, hath despised^H959^(H8804) thee, and laughed thee to scorn;^H3932^(H8804) the daughter^H1323 of Jerusalem^H3389 hath shaken^H5128^(H8689) her head^H7218 at thee^H310.

²³ Whom have you defied and blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel.

KJVWhom hast thou reproached^H2778^(H8765) and blasphemed^H1442^(H8765)? and against whom hast thou exalted^H7311^(H8689) thy voice^H6963, and lifted up^H5375^(H8799) thine eyes^H5869 on high^H4791? even against the Holy One^H6918 of Israel^H3478.

²⁴ By your servants, you have defied the Lord, and have said, “With the multitude of my chariots I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon. I will cut down its tall cedars and its choice cypress trees. I will enter into its farthest height, the forest of its fruitful field.

KJVBy^H3027 thy servants^H5650 hast thou reproached^H2778^(H8765) the Lord^H136, and hast said^H559^(H8799), By the multitude^H7230 of my chariots^H7393 am I come up^H5927^(H8804) to the height^H4791 of the mountains^H2022, to the sides^H3411 of Lebanon^H3844; and I will cut down^H3772^(H8799) the tall^H6967 cedars^H730 thereof, and the choice^H4005 fir trees^H1265 thereof: and I will enter^H935^(H8799) into the height^H4791 of his border^H7093, and the forest^H3293 of his Carmel^H3760.

²⁵ I have dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I will dry up all the rivers of Egypt.”

KJVI have digged^H6979^(H8804), and drunk^H8354^(H8804) water^H4325; and with the sole^H3709 of my feet^H6471 have I dried up^H2717^(H8686) all the rivers^H2975 of the besieged places^H4693.

²⁶ “‘Have you not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it in ancient times? Now I have brought it to pass, that it should be yours to destroy fortified cities, turning them into ruinous heaps.

KJVHast thou not heard^H8085^(H8804) long ago^H7350, how I have done^H6213^(H8804) it; and of ancient^H6924 times^H3117, that I have formed^H3335^(H8804) it? now have I brought^H935^(H8689) it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste^H7582^(H8687) defenced^H1219^(H8803) cities^H5892 into ruinous^H5327^(H8737) heaps^H1530.

²⁷ Therefore their inhabitants had little power. They were dismayed and confounded. They were like the grass of the field, and like the green herb, like the grass on the housetops, and like a field before its crop has grown.

KJVTherefore their inhabitants^H3427^(H8802) were of small^H7116 power^H3027, they were dismayed^H2865^(H8804) and confounded^H954^(H8804): they were as the grass^H6212 of the field^H7704, and as the green^H3419 herb^H1877, as the grass^H2682 on the housetops^H1406, and as corn blasted^H7709 before^H6440 it be grown up^H7054.

²⁸ But I know your sitting down, your going out, your coming in, and your raging against me.

KJVBut I know^H3045^(H8804) thy abode^H3427^(H8800), and thy going out^H3318^(H8800), and thy coming in^H935^(H8800), and thy rage^H7264^(H8692) against me.

²⁹ Because of your raging against me, and because your arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in your nose and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came.

KJVBecause thy rage^H7264^(H8692) against me, and thy tumult^H7600, is come up^H5927^(H8804) into mine ears^H241, therefore will I put^H7760^(H8804) my hook^H2397 in thy nose^H639, and my bridle^H4964 in thy lips^H8193, and I will turn thee back^H7725^(H8689) by the way^H1870 by which thou camest^H935^(H8804).

³⁰ “‘This shall be the sign to you: You will eat this year that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs from it; and in the third year sow and reap and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.

KJVAnd this shall be a sign^H226 unto thee, Ye shall eat^H398^(H8800) this year^H8141 such as groweth^H5599 of itself; and the second^H8145 year^H8141 that which springeth^H7823 of the same: and in the third^H7992 year^H8141 sow^H2232^(H8798) ye, and reap^H7114^(H8798), and plant^H5193^(H8798) vineyards^H3754, and eat^H398^(H8798) the fruit^H6529 thereof.

KJVAnd the remnant^H7604^(H8737) that is escaped^H6413 of the house^H1004 of Judah^H3063 shall again^H3254^(H8804) take root^H8328 downward^H4295, and bear^H6213^(H8804) fruit^H6529 upward^H4605:

³² For out of Jerusalem a remnant will go out, and survivors will escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of Yahweh of Armies will perform this.’

KJVFor out of Jerusalem^H3389 shall go forth^H3318^(H8799) a remnant^H7611, and they that escape^H6413 out of mount^H2022 Zion^H6726: the zeal^H7068 of the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635 shall do^H6213^(H8799) this.

³³ “Therefore Yahweh says concerning the king of Assyria, ‘He will not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither will he come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it.

KJVTherefore thus saith^H559^(H8804) the LORD^H3068 concerning the king^H4428 of Assyria^H804, He shall not come^H935^(H8799) into this city^H5892, nor shoot^H3384^(H8686) an arrow^H2671 there, nor come before^H6923^(H8762) it with shields^H4043, nor cast^H8210^(H8799) a bank^H5550 against it.

³⁴ He will return the way that he came, and he won’t come to this city,’ says Yahweh.

KJVBy the way^H1870 that he came^H935^(H8804), by the same shall he return^H7725^(H8799), and shall not come^H935^(H8799) into this city^H5892, saith^H5002^(H8803) the LORD^H3068.

³⁵ ‘For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.’”

KJVFor I will defend^H1598^(H8804) this city^H5892 to save^H3467^(H8687) it for mine own sake, and for my servant^H5650 David's^H1732 sake.

³⁶ Then Yahweh’s angel went out and struck one hundred and eighty-five thousand men in the camp of the Assyrians. When men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.

KJVThen the angel^H4397 of the LORD^H3068 went forth^H3318^(H8799), and smote^H5221^(H8686) in the camp^H4264 of the Assyrians^H804 a hundred^H3967 and fourscore^H8084 and five^H2568 thousand^H505: and when they arose early^H7925^(H8686) in the morning^H1242, behold, they were all dead^H4191^(H8801) corpses^H6297.

³⁷ So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, went away, returned to Nineveh, and stayed there.

KJVSo Sennacherib^H5576 king^H4428 of Assyria^H804 departed^H5265^(H8799), and went^H3212^(H8799) and returned^H7725^(H8799), and dwelt^H3427^(H8799) at Nineveh^H5210.

³⁸ As he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esar Haddon his son reigned in his place.

KJVAnd it came to pass, as he was worshipping^H7812^(H8693) in the house^H1004 of Nisroch^H5268 his god^H430, that Adrammelech^H152 and Sharezer^H8272 his sons^H1121 smote^H5221^(H8689) him with the sword^H2719; and they escaped^H4422^(H8738) into the land^H776 of Armenia^H780: and Esarhaddon^H634 his son^H1121 reigned^H4427^(H8799) in his stead.

KJVNow it came to pass in the fourteenth^H702^H6240 year^H8141 of king^H4428 Hezekiah^H2396, that Sennacherib^H5576 king^H4428 of Assyria^H804 came up^H5927^(H8804) against all the defenced^H1219^(H8803) cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063, and took^H8610^(H8799) them.

² The king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem to King Hezekiah with a large army. He stood by the aqueduct from the upper pool in the fuller’s field highway.

KJVAnd the king^H4428 of Assyria^H804 sent^H7971^(H8799) Rabshakeh^H7262 from Lachish^H3923 to Jerusalem^H3389 unto king^H4428 Hezekiah^H2396 with a great^H3515 army^H2426. And he stood^H5975^(H8799) by the conduit^H8585 of the upper^H5945 pool^H1295 in the highway^H4546 of the fuller's^H3526^(H8801) field^H7704.

³ Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph the recorder came out to him.

KJVThen came forth^H3318^(H8799) unto him Eliakim^H471, Hilkiah's^H2518 son^H1121, which was over the house^H1004, and Shebna^H7644 the scribe^H5608^(H8802), and Joah^H3098, Asaph's^H623 son^H1121, the recorder^H2142^(H8688).

⁴ Rabshakeh said to them, “Now tell Hezekiah, ‘The great king, the king of Assyria, says, “What confidence is this in which you trust?

KJVAnd Rabshakeh^H7262 said^H559^(H8799) unto them, Say^H559^(H8798) ye now to Hezekiah^H2396, Thus saith^H559^(H8804) the great^H1419 king^H4428, the king^H4428 of Assyria^H804, What confidence^H986 is this wherein thou trustest^H982^(H8804)?

⁵ I say that your counsel and strength for the war are only vain words. Now in whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me?

KJVI say^H559^(H8804), sayest thou,(but they are but vain^H8193 words^H1697) I have counsel^H6098 and strength^H1369 for war^H4421: now on whom dost thou trust^H982^(H8804), that thou rebellest^H4775^(H8804) against me?

⁶ Behold, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt, which if a man leans on it, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him.

KJVLo, thou trustest^H982^(H8804) in the staff^H4938 of this broken^H7533^(H8803) reed^H7070, on Egypt^H4714; whereon if a man^H376 lean^H5564^(H8735), it will go^H935^(H8804) into his hand^H3709, and pierce^H5344^(H8804) it: so is Pharaoh^H6547 king^H4428 of Egypt^H4714 to all that trust^H982^(H8802) in him.

⁷ But if you tell me, ‘We trust in Yahweh our God,’ isn’t that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar’?”

KJVBut if thou say^H559^(H8799) to me, We trust^H982^(H8804) in the LORD^H3068 our God^H430: is it not he, whose high places^H1116 and whose altars^H4196 Hezekiah^H2396 hath taken away^H5493^(H8689), and said^H559^(H8799) to Judah^H3063 and to Jerusalem^H3389, Ye shall worship^H7812^(H8691) before^H6440 this altar^H4196?

KJVNow therefore give pledges^H6148^(H8690), I pray thee, to my master^H113 the king^H4428 of Assyria^H804, and I will give^H5414^(H8799) thee two thousand^H505 horses^H5483, if thou be able^H3201^(H8799) on thy part to set^H5414^(H8800) riders^H7392^(H8802) upon them.

⁹ How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust in Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?

KJVHow then wilt thou turn away^H7725^(H8686) the face^H6440 of one^H259 captain^H6346 of the least^H6996 of my master's^H113 servants^H5650, and put thy trust^H982^(H8799) on Egypt^H4714 for chariots^H7393 and for horsemen^H6571?

¹⁰ Have I come up now without Yahweh against this land to destroy it? Yahweh said to me, “Go up against this land, and destroy it.”’”

KJVAnd am I now come up^H5927^(H8804) without^H1107 the LORD^H3068 against this land^H776 to destroy^H7843^(H8687) it? the LORD^H3068 said^H559^(H8804) unto me, Go up^H5927^(H8798) against this land^H776, and destroy^H7843^(H8685) it.

¹¹ Then Eliakim, Shebna and Joah said to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it. Don’t speak to us in the Jews’ language in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.”

KJVThen said^H559^(H8799) Eliakim^H471 and Shebna^H7644 and Joah^H3098 unto Rabshakeh^H7262, Speak^H1696^(H8761), I pray thee, unto thy servants^H5650 in the Syrian language^H762; for we understand^H8085^(H8802) it: and speak^H1696^(H8762) not to us in the Jews' language^H3066, in the ears^H241 of the people^H5971 that are on the wall^H2346.

¹² But Rabshakeh said, “Has my master sent me only to your master and to you, to speak these words, and not to the men who sit on the wall, who will eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?”

KJVBut Rabshakeh^H7262 said^H559^(H8799), Hath my master^H113 sent^H7971^(H8804) me to thy master^H113 and to thee to speak^H1696^(H8763) these words^H1697? hath he not sent me to the men^H582 that sit^H3427^(H8802) upon the wall^H2346, that they may eat^H398^(H8800) their own dung^H2716^(H8676)^H6675, and drink^H8354^(H8800) their own piss^H4325^H7272^(H8675)^H7890 with you?

¹³ Then Rabshakeh stood, and called out with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and said, “Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria!

KJVThen Rabshakeh^H7262 stood^H5975^(H8799), and cried^H7121^(H8799) with a loud^H1419 voice^H6963 in the Jews' language^H3066, and said^H559^(H8799), Hear^H8085^(H8798) ye the words^H1697 of the great^H1419 king^H4428, the king^H4428 of Assyria^H804.

¹⁴ The king says, ‘Don’t let Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you.

KJVThus saith^H559^(H8804) the king^H4428, Let not Hezekiah^H2396 deceive^H5377^(H8686) you: for he shall not be able^H3201^(H8799) to deliver^H5337^(H8687) you.

¹⁵ Don’t let Hezekiah make you trust in Yahweh, saying, “Yahweh will surely deliver us. This city won’t be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”’

KJVNeither let Hezekiah^H2396 make you trust^H982^(H8686) in the LORD^H3068, saying^H559^(H8800), The LORD^H3068 will surely^H5337^(H8687) deliver^H5337^(H8686) us: this city^H5892 shall not be delivered^H5414^(H8735) into the hand^H3027 of the king^H4428 of Assyria^H804.

¹⁶ Don’t listen to Hezekiah, for the king of Assyria says, ‘Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and each of you eat from his vine, and each one from his fig tree, and each one of you drink the waters of his own cistern;

KJVHearken^H8085^(H8799) not to Hezekiah^H2396: for thus saith^H559^(H8804) the king^H4428 of Assyria^H804, Make^H6213^(H8798) an agreement with me by a present^H1293, and come out^H3318^(H8798) to me: and eat^H398^(H8798) ye every one^H376 of his vine^H1612, and every one^H376 of his fig tree^H8384, and drink^H8354^(H8798) ye every one^H376 the waters^H4325 of his own cistern^H953;

¹⁷ until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.

KJVUntil I come^H935^(H8800) and take you away^H3947^(H8804) to a land^H776 like your own land^H776, a land^H776 of corn^H1715 and wine^H8492, a land^H776 of bread^H3899 and vineyards^H3754.

¹⁸ Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, “Yahweh will deliver us.” Have any of the gods of the nations delivered their lands from the hand of the king of Assyria?

KJVBeware lest Hezekiah^H2396 persuade^H5496^(H8686) you, saying^H559^(H8800), The LORD^H3068 will deliver^H5337^(H8686) us. Hath any^H376 of the gods^H430 of the nations^H1471 delivered^H5337^(H8689) his land^H776 out of the hand^H3027 of the king^H4428 of Assyria^H804?

¹⁹ Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? Have they delivered Samaria from my hand?

KJVWhere are the gods^H430 of Hamath^H2574 and Arphad^H774? where are the gods^H430 of Sepharvaim^H5617? and have they delivered^H5337^(H8689) Samaria^H8111 out of my hand^H3027?

²⁰ Who are they among all the gods of these countries that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Yahweh should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?’”

KJVWho are they among all the gods^H430 of these lands^H776, that have delivered^H5337^(H8689) their land^H776 out of my hand^H3027, that the LORD^H3068 should deliver^H5337^(H8686) Jerusalem^H3389 out of my hand^H3027?

²¹ But they remained silent, and said nothing in reply, for the king’s commandment was, “Don’t answer him.”

KJVBut they held their peace^H2790^(H8686), and answered^H6030^(H8804) him not a word^H1697: for the king's^H4428 commandment^H4687 was, saying^H559^(H8800), Answer^H6030^(H8799) him not.

²² Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.

KJVThen came^H935^(H8799) Eliakim^H471, the son^H1121 of Hilkiah^H2518, that was over the household^H1004, and Shebna^H7644 the scribe^H5608^(H8802), and Joah^H3098, the son^H1121 of Asaph^H623, the recorder^H2142^(H8688), to Hezekiah^H2396 with their clothes^H899 rent^H7167^(H8803), and told^H5046^(H8686) him the words^H1697 of Rabshakeh^H7262.
