²¹ This is the word ^H1697 that the LORD ^H3068 hath spoken ^H1696 concerning him; The virgin ^H1330 the daughter ^H1323 of Zion ^H6726 hath despised ^H959 thee, and laughed thee to scorn; ^H3932 the daughter ^H1323 of Jerusalem ^H3389 hath shaken ^H5128 her head ^H7218 at thee. ^H310

²² Whom hast thou reproached ^H2778 and blasphemed? ^H1442 and against whom hast thou exalted ^H7311 thy voice, ^H6963 and lifted up ^H5375 thine eyes ^H5869 on high? ^H4791 even against the Holy ^H6918 One of Israel. ^H3478

²³ By ^H3027 thy messengers ^H4397 thou hast reproached ^H2778 the Lord, ^H136 and hast said, ^H559 With the multitude ^H7230 of my chariots ^{H7393 H7393} I am come up ^H5927 to the height ^H4791 of the mountains, ^H2022 to the sides ^H3411 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 have digged ^H6979 and drunk ^H8354 strange ^H2114 waters, ^H4325 and with the sole ^H3709 of my feet ^H6471 have I dried ^H2717 up all the rivers ^H2975 of besieged places. ^H4693

²⁵ Hast thou not heard ^H8085 long ago ^H7350 how I have done ^H6213 it, and of ancient ^H6924 times ^H3117 that I have formed ^H3335 it? now have I brought ^H935 it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste ^H7582 fenced ^H1219 cities ^H5892 into ruinous ^H5327 heaps. ^H1530

²⁶ Therefore their inhabitants ^H3427 were of small ^H7116 power, ^H3027 they were dismayed ^H2865 and confounded; ^H954 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 ^H7711 before ^H6440 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 me.

²⁸ Because thy rage ^H7264 against me and thy tumult ^H7600 is come up ^H5927 into mine ears, ^H241 therefore I will put ^H7760 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 thou camest. ^H935

²⁹ And this shall be a sign ^H226 unto thee, Ye shall eat ^H398 this year ^H8141 such things as grow ^H5599 of themselves, and in the second ^H8145 year ^H8141 that which springeth ^H7823 of the same; and in the third ^H7992 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 of Judah ^H3063 shall yet again ^H3254 take root ^H8328 downward, ^H4295 and bear ^H6213 fruit ^H6529 upward. ^H4605

³¹ For 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 of hosts ^H6635 shall do ^H6213 this.

³² Therefore thus saith ^H559 the LORD ^H3068 concerning the king ^H4428 of Assyria, ^H804 He shall not come ^H935 into this city, ^H5892 nor shoot ^H3384 an arrow ^H2671 there, nor come before ^H6923 it with shield, ^H4043 nor cast ^H8210 a bank ^H5550 against it.

³³ By the way ^H1870 that he came, ^H935 by the same shall he return, ^H7725 and shall not come ^H935 into this city, ^H5892 saith ^H5002 the LORD. ^H3068

³⁴ For I will defend ^H1598 this city, ^H5892 to save ^H3467 it, for mine own sake, and for my servant ^H5650 David's ^H1732 sake.

³⁵ And it came to pass that night, ^H3915 that the angel ^H4397 of the LORD ^H3068 went out, ^H3318 and smote ^H5221 in the camp ^H4264 of the Assyrians ^H804 an hundred ^H3967 fourscore ^H8084 and five ^H2568 thousand: ^H505 and when they arose early ^H7925 in the morning, ^H1242 behold, they were all dead ^H4191 corpses. ^H6297

³⁶ So Sennacherib ^H5576 king ^H4428 of Assyria ^H804 departed, ^H5265 and went ^H3212 and returned, ^H7725 and dwelt ^H3427 at Nineveh. ^H5210

³⁷ And it came to pass, as he was worshipping ^H7812 in the house ^H1004 of Nisroch ^H5268 his god, ^H430 that Adrammelech ^H152 and Sharezer ^H8272 his sons ^H1121 smote ^H5221 him with the sword: ^H2719 and they escaped ^H4422 into the land ^H776 of Armenia. ^H780 And Esarhaddon ^H634 his son ^H1121 reigned ^H4427 in his stead.
