2 Kings 19:21 (YLT) Young's Literal Translation

1 And it cometh to pass, at king Hezekiah's hearing, that he rendeth his garments, and covereth himself with sackcloth, and entereth the house of Jehovah,
2 and sendeth Eliakim, who is over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covering themselves with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet, son of Amoz,
3 and they say unto him, `Thus said Hezekiah -- A day of distress, and rebuke, and despising is this day; for come have sons unto the birth, and power there is not to bring forth.
4 `It may be Jehovah thy God doth hear all the words of the chief of the butlers with which the king of Asshur his lord hath sent him to reproach the living God, and hath decided concerning the words that Jehovah thy God hath heard, and thou hast lifted up prayer for the remnant that is found.`
5 And the servants of king Hezekiah come in unto Isaiah,
6 and Isaiah saith to them, `Thus do ye say unto your lord: Thus said Jehovah, Be not afraid because of the words that thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Asshur have reviled Me.
7 Lo, I am giving in him a spirit, and he hath heard a report, and hath turned back to his land, and I have caused him to fall by the sword in his land.`
8 And the chief of the butlers turneth back and findeth the king of Asshur fighting against Libnah, for he hath heard that he hath journeyed from Lachish.
9 And he heareth concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, saying, `Lo, he hath come out to fight with thee;` and he turneth and sendeth messengers unto Hezekiah, saying,
10 `Thus do ye speak unto Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God lift thee up in whom thou art trusting, saying, Jerusalem is not given into the hand of the king of Asshur.
11 Lo, thou hast heard that which the kings of Asshur have done to all the lands -- to devote them; and thou art delivered!
12 did the gods of the nations deliver them whom my fathers destroyed -- Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden, who are in Thelassar?
13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?`
14 And Hezekiah taketh the letters out of the hand of the messengers, and readeth them, and goeth up to the house of Jehovah, and Hezekiah spreadeth it before Jehovah.
15 And Hezekiah prayeth before Jehovah, and saith, `O Jehovah, God of Israel, inhabiting the cherubs, Thou art God Himself -- Thyself alone -- to all the kingdoms of the earth: Thou hast made the heavens and the earth.
16 Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, and hear; open, O Jehovah, Thine eyes, and see; and hear Thou the words of Sennacherib with which he hath sent him to reproach the living God.
17 `Truly, O Jehovah, kings of Asshur have laid waste the nations, and their land,
18 and have put their gods into fire, for they are no gods, but work of the hands of man, wood and stone, and destroy them.
19 And now, O Jehovah our God, save us, we pray Thee, out of his hand, and know do all kingdoms of the earth that Thou art Jehovah God -- Thyself alone.`
20 And Isaiah son of Amoz sendeth unto Hezekiah, saying, `Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed unto Me concerning Sennacherib king of Asshur I have heard:
21 this is the word that Jehovah spake concerning him: `Trampled on thee -- laughed at thee, Hath the virgin daughter of Zion Behind thee shaken the head -- Hath the daughter of Jerusalem?
22 Whom hast thou reproached and reviled? And against whom lifted up a voice? Yea, thou dost lift up on high thine eyes -- Against the Holy One of Israel!
23 By the hand of thy messengers Thou hast reproached the Lord, and sayest: In the multitude of my chariots I have come up to a high place of mountains -- The sides of Lebanon, And I cut down the height of its cedars, The choice of its firs, And I enter the lodging of its extremity, The forest of its Carmel.
24 I have digged, and drunk strange waters, And I dry up with the sole of my steps All floods of a bulwark.
25 Hast thou not heard from afar, it I made, From days of old that I formed it? Now I have brought it in, And it becometh a desolation, Ruinous heaps are fenced cities,
26 And their inhabitants are feeble-handed, They were broken down, and are dried up, They have been the herb of the field, And the greenness of the tender grass, Grass of the roofs, And blasted corn -- before it hath risen up!
27 And thy sitting down, and thy going out, And thy coming in, I have known, And thine anger towards Me;
28 Because of thine anger towards Me, And thy noise -- it came up into Mine ears, I have put My hook in thy nose, And My bridle in thy lips, And have caused thee to turn back, In the way in which thou camest.
29 And this to thee is the sign, Food of the year is the spontaneous growth, And in the second year the self-produced, And in the third year sow ye, and reap, And plant vineyards, and eat their fruits.
30 And it hath continued -- The escaped of the house of Judah That hath been left -- to take root beneath, And hath made fruit upward.
31 For from Jerusalem goeth out a remnant, And an escape from mount Zion; The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts doth this.
32 Therefore, thus said Jehovah, Concerning the king of Asshur: He doth not come in unto this city, Nor doth he shoot there an arrow, Nor doth he come before it with shield. Nor doth he pour out against it a mount.
33 In the way that he cometh in -- In it he turneth back, And unto this city he doth not come in, The affirmation of Jehovah --
34 And I have covered over this city, To save it, for Mine own sake, And for the sake of David My servant.`
35 And it cometh to pass, in that night, that a messenger of Jehovah goeth out, and smiteth in the camp of Asshur a hundred eighty and five thousand, and they rise early in the morning, and lo, all of them are dead corpses.
36 And Sennacherib king of Asshur journeyeth, and goeth, and turneth back, and dwelleth in Nineveh;
37 and it cometh to pass, he is bowing himself in the house of Nisroch his god, and Adramelech and Sharezar his sons have smitten him with the sword, and they have escaped to the land of Ararat, and Esar-Haddon his son reigneth in his stead.
1 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when king H4428 D-NMS Hezekiah H2396 heard H8085 it , that he rent H7167 W-VQY3MS his clothes H899 , and covered himself H3680 with sackcloth H8242 , and went H935 W-VQY3MS into the house H1004 CMS of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
2 And he sent H7971 W-VQY3MS Eliakim H471 , which H834 RPRO was over H5921 PREP the household H1004 D-NMS , and Shebna H7644 the scribe H5608 , and the elders H2205 of the priests H3548 , covered H3680 with sackcloth H8242 , to H413 PREP Isaiah H3470 the prophet H5030 the son H1121 of Amoz H531 .
3 And they said H559 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS Hezekiah H2396 , This H2088 D-PMS day H3117 NMS is a day H3117 NUM-MS of trouble H6869 NFS , and of rebuke H8433 , and blasphemy H5007 : for H3588 CONJ the children H1121 NMP are come H935 VQQ3MP to H5704 PREP the birth H4866 , and there is not H369 ADV strength H3581 to bring forth H3205 .
4 It may be H194 ADV the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS will hear H8085 VQY3MS all H3605 NMS the words H1697 CMP of Rab H7262 - shakeh , whom H834 RPRO the king H4428 NMS of Assyria H804 GFS his master H113 hath sent H7971 to reproach H2778 the living H2416 AMS God H430 CMP-2MS ; and will reprove H3198 the words H1697 which H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS hath heard H8085 VQY3MS : wherefore lift up H5375 thy prayer H8605 for H1157 PREP the remnant H7611 that are left H4672 .
5 So the servants H5650 of king H4428 D-NMS Hezekiah H2396 came H935 W-VQY3MP to H413 PREP Isaiah H3470 .
6 And Isaiah H3470 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto them , Thus H3541 shall ye say H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP your master H113 , Thus H3541 saith H559 W-VQY3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , Be not afraid H3372 of M-CMP the words H1697 AMP which H834 RPRO thou hast heard H8085 VQQ2MS , with which H834 RPRO the servants H5288 of the king H4428 NMS of Assyria H804 GFS have blasphemed H1442 me .
7 Behold H2009 , I will send H5414 VQPMS a blast H7307 NFS upon him , and he shall hear H8085 a rumor H8052 , and shall return H7725 W-VQQ3MS to his own land H776 L-CFS-3MS ; and I will cause him to fall H5307 by the sword H2719 in his own land H776 .
8 So Rab H7262 - shakeh returned H7725 , and found H4672 W-VQY3MS the king H4428 NMS of Assyria H804 GFS warring H3898 against H5921 PREP Libnah H3841 : for H3588 CONJ he had heard H8085 that H3588 CONJ he was departed H5265 from Lachish H3923 .
9 And when he heard H8085 say H559 L-VQFC of H413 PREP Tirhakah H8640 king H4428 of Ethiopia H3568 EMS , Behold H2009 IJEC , he is come out H3318 VQQ3MS to fight H3898 against H854 PART-2MS thee : he sent H7971 W-VQY3MS messengers H4397 again H7725 unto H413 PREP Hezekiah H2396 , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
10 Thus H3541 shall ye speak H559 to H413 PREP Hezekiah H2396 king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Let not H408 NPAR thy God H430 CMP-2MS in whom H834 RPRO thou H859 PPRO-2MS trustest H982 deceive H5377 thee , saying H559 L-VQFC , Jerusalem H3389 shall not H3808 NADV be delivered H5414 into the hand H3027 B-CFS of the king H4428 NMS of Assyria H804 .
11 Behold H2009 IJEC , thou H859 PPRO-2MS hast heard H8085 VQQ2MS what H834 RPRO the kings H4428 CMP of Assyria H804 GFS have done H6213 VQQ3MP to all H3605 L-CMS lands H776 , by destroying them utterly H2763 : and shalt thou H859 PPRO-2FS be delivered H5337 ?
12 Have the gods H430 CDP of the nations H1471 D-NMP delivered H5337 them which H834 RPRO my fathers H1 have destroyed H7843 ; as Gozan H1470 , and Haran H2771 EMS , and Rezeph H7530 , and the children H1121 W-CMP of Eden H5729 which H834 RPRO were in Thelasar H8515 ?
13 Where H346 is the king H4428 NMS of Hamath H2574 , and the king H4428 NMS of Arpad H774 , and the king H4428 NMS of the city H5892 L-NMS of Sepharvaim H5617 , of Hena H2012 , and Ivah H5755 ?
14 And Hezekiah H2396 received H3947 W-VQY3MS the letter H5612 of the hand H3027 M-GFS of the messengers H4397 , and read H7121 it : and Hezekiah H2396 went up H5927 W-VHY3MS into the house H1004 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , and spread H6566 it before H6440 L-CMP the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
15 And Hezekiah H2396 prayed H6419 W-VTY3MS before H6440 L-CMP the LORD H3068 EDS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , O LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 , which dwellest H3427 VQPMS between the cherubims H3742 D-NMP , thou H859 PPRO-2MS art the God H430 D-NAME-4MP , even thou alone H905 , of all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the earth H776 D-GFS ; thou H859 PPRO-2MS hast made H6213 VQQ2MS heaven H8064 D-NMD and earth H776 D-GFS .
16 LORD H3068 EDS , bow down H5186 thine ear H241 , and hear H8085 : open H6491 , LORD H3068 EDS , thine eyes H5869 CMD-2MS , and see H7200 W-VQI2MS : and hear H8085 the words H1697 CMP of Sennacherib H5576 , which H834 RPRO hath sent H7971 him to reproach H2778 the living H2416 AMS God H430 EDP .
17 Of a truth H546 , LORD H3068 EDS , the kings H4428 CMP of Assyria H804 GFS have destroyed H2717 the nations H1471 D-NMP and their lands H776 ,
18 And have cast H5414 their gods H430 NAME-4MP into the fire H784 : for H3588 CONJ they H1992 PPRO-3MP were no H3808 NADV gods H430 EDP , but H518 PART the work H4639 M-CMS of men H120 NMS \'s hands H3027 , wood H6086 NMS and stone H68 : therefore they have destroyed H6 them .
19 Now H6258 W-ADV therefore , O LORD H3068 EDS our God H430 NAME-4MP , I beseech thee H4994 IJEC , save H3467 thou us out of his hand H3027 M-CFS-3MS , that all H3605 NMS the kingdoms H4467 of the earth H776 D-GFS may know H3045 that H3588 CONJ thou H859 PPRO-2MS art the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 EDP , even thou only H905 .
20 Then Isaiah H3470 the son H1121 CMS of Amoz H531 sent H7971 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Hezekiah H2396 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 , That which H834 RPRO thou hast prayed H6419 to H413 PREP me against H413 PREP Sennacherib H5576 king H4428 NMS of Assyria H804 GFS I have heard H8085 .
21 This H2088 DPRO is the word H1697 D-NMS that H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS hath spoken H1696 VPQ3MS concerning H5921 PREP-3MS him ; The virgin H1330 the daughter H1323 CFS of Zion H6726 hath despised H959 thee , and laughed thee to scorn H3932 ; the daughter H1323 CFS of Jerusalem H3389 hath shaken H5128 her head H7218 NMS at H310 thee .
22 Whom H4310 IPRO hast thou reproached H2778 and blasphemed H1442 ? and against H5921 PREP whom H4310 IPRO hast thou exalted H7311 thy voice H6963 , and lifted up H5375 thine eyes H5869 CMD-2MS on high H4791 ? even against H5921 PREP the Holy H6918 One of Israel H3478 LMS .
23 By H3027 B-CFS thy messengers H4397 thou hast reproached H2778 the Lord H136 EDS , and hast said H559 W-VQY3FS , With the multitude H7230 of my chariots H7393 I H589 PPRO-1MS am come up H5927 to the height H4791 of the mountains H2022 NMP , to the sides H3411 CFS of Lebanon H3844 , and will cut down H3772 the tall H6967 cedar trees H730 thereof , and the choice H4004 fir trees H1265 thereof : and I will enter H935 into the lodgings H4411 of his borders H7093 , and into the forest H3293 of his Carmel H3760 .
24 I H589 PPRO-1MS have digged H6979 and drunk H8354 strange H2114 waters H4325 OMD , and with the sole H3709 of my feet H6471 have I dried up H2717 all H3605 NMS the rivers H2975 of besieged places H4693 .
25 Hast thou not H3808 I-NPAR heard H8085 VQQ2MS long ago H7350 how I have done H6213 VQQ1MS it , and of ancient times H3117 that I have formed H3335 it ? now H6258 ADV have I brought it to pass H935 , that thou shouldest be H1961 W-VQI3FS to lay waste H7582 fenced H1219 cities H5892 GFP into ruinous H5327 heaps H1530 .
26 Therefore their inhabitants H3427 were of small H7116 power H3027 NFS , they were dismayed H2865 VQQ3MP and confounded H954 ; they were H1961 VQQ3MP as the grass H6212 NMS of the field H7704 , and as the green H3419 herb H1877 NMS , as the grass H2682 on the housetops H1406 , and as corn blasted H7711 before H6440 L-CMP it be grown up H7054 .
27 But I know H3045 thy abode H3427 , and thy going out H3318 , and thy coming in H935 , and thy rage H7264 against H413 me .
28 Because H3282 ADV thy rage H7264 against H413 PREP-1MS me and thy tumult H7600 is come up H5927 into mine ears H241 B-CFD-1MS , therefore I will put H7760 W-VQQ1MS my hook H2397 in thy nose H639 , and my bridle H4964 in thy lips H8193 , and I will turn thee back H7725 by the way H1870 by which H834 RPRO thou camest H935 .
29 And this H2088 W-PMS shall be a sign H226 unto thee , Ye shall eat H398 this year H8141 such things as grow of themselves H5599 , and in the second H8145 D-ONUM year H8141 that which springeth of the same H7823 ; and in the third H7992 D-MFS year H8141 sow H2232 ye , and reap H7114 , and plant H5193 vineyards H3754 , and eat H398 the fruits H6529 thereof .
30 And the remnant H7604 that is escaped H6413 of the house H1004 CMS of Judah H3063 shall yet again H3254 take root H8328 downward H4295 , and bear H6213 W-VQQ3MS fruit H6529 CMS upward H4605 .
31 For H3588 CONJ out of Jerusalem H3389 shall go forth H3318 a remnant H7611 , and they that escape H6413 out of mount H2022 Zion H6726 : the zeal H7068 of the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts shall do H6213 VQY2MS this H2063 DPRO .
32 Therefore H3651 L-ADV thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS concerning H413 PREP the king H4428 NMS of Assyria H804 GFS , He shall not H3808 NADV come H935 VQY3MS into H413 PREP this H2063 D-DFS city H5892 D-GFS , nor H3808 ADV shoot H3384 an arrow H2671 there H8033 ADV , nor H3808 ADV come before H6923 it with shield H4043 NMS , nor H3808 ADV cast H8210 VQY3MS a bank H5550 against H5921 PREP-3FS it .
33 By the way H1870 that H834 RPRO he came H935 VQY3MS , by the same shall he return H7725 VQY3MS , and shall not H3808 NADV come H935 VQY3MS into H413 W-PREP this H2063 D-DFS city H5892 D-GFS , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
34 For I will defend H1598 this H2063 D-DFS city H5892 D-GFS , to save H3467 it , for mine own sake H4616 , and for my servant H5650 David H1732 MMS \'s sake H4616 .
35 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS night H3915 , that the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 EDS went out H3318 W-VQY3MS , and smote H5221 W-VHY3MS in the camp H4264 of the Assyrians H804 GFS a hundred H3967 MFS fourscore H8084 and five H2568 thousand H505 MMS : and when they arose early H7925 in the morning H1242 , behold H2009 IJEC , they were all H3605 dead H4191 corpses H6297 .
36 So Sennacherib H5576 king H4428 NMS of Assyria H804 GFS departed H5265 W-VQY3MS , and went H1980 W-VQY3MS and returned H7725 , and dwelt H3427 W-VQY3MS at Nineveh H5210 .
37 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , as he H1931 PPRO-3MS was worshiping H7812 in the house H1004 CMS of Nisroch H5268 his god H430 CMP-3MS , that Adrammelech H152 and Sharezer H8272 his sons H1121 CMS-3MS smote H5221 him with the sword H2719 : and they H1992 escaped H4422 into the land H776 GFS of Armenia H780 . And Esarhaddon H634 his son H1121 CMS-3MS reigned H4427 in his stead H8478 .
