Isaiah 37:2-4
New International Version
2 He sent Eliakim(A) the palace administrator, Shebna(B) the secretary, and the leading priests, all wearing sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz.(C) 3 They told him, “This is what Hezekiah says: This day is a day of distress(D) and rebuke and disgrace, as when children come to the moment of birth(E) and there is no strength to deliver them. 4 It may be that the Lord your God will hear the words of the field commander, whom his master, the king of Assyria, has sent to ridicule(F) the living God,(G) and that he will rebuke him for the words the Lord your God has heard.(H) Therefore pray(I) for the remnant(J) that still survives.”

Isaiah 37:2-4
Easy-to-Read Version
2 Hezekiah sent Eliakim, the palace manager, Shebna, the royal secretary, and the elders of the priests to the prophet, Isaiah son of Amoz. They wore the special clothes that showed they were sad and upset. 3 They said to Isaiah, “King Hezekiah has commanded that today will be a special day for sorrow and sadness. It will be a very sad day—as sad as when a baby should be born, but there is not enough strength for the birth. 4 The commander’s master, the king of Assyria, has sent him to say bad things about the living God. Maybe the Lord your God will hear it and prove the enemy is wrong. So pray for those who are still left alive.”
