Yahweh’s Answer Through Isaiah

21 Then (A)Isaiah the son of Amoz sent word to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘Because you have prayed to Me about Sennacherib king of Assyria, 22 this is the word that Yahweh has spoken against him:

“She has despised you and mocked you,
The (B)virgin (C)daughter of Zion;
She has (D)shaken her head behind you,
The daughter of Jerusalem!
23 Whom have you [a](E)reproached and blasphemed?
And against whom have you heightened your voice
And [b]haughtily (F)lifted up your eyes?
Against the (G)Holy One of Israel!
24 Through your servants you have [c]reproached the Lord,
And you have said, ‘With my many chariots I came up to the heights of the mountains,
To the remotest parts of (H)Lebanon;
And I cut down its tall (I)cedars and its choice cypresses.
And I will go to its [d]highest peak, its thickest (J)forest.
25 I dug wells and drank waters,
And (K)with the sole of my feet I dried up
All the rivers of [e]Egypt.’
26 (L)Have you not heard?
Long ago I did it;
From days of old I (M)formed it.
Now (N)I have brought it to pass,
That (O)you should devastate fortified cities into (P)ruinous heaps.
27 So their inhabitants were short of power;
They were dismayed and put to shame;
They were as the (Q)plant of the field and as the green herb,
As (R)grass on the rooftops [f]is scorched before it rises.
28 But I (S)know your sitting down
And your going out and your coming in
And your raging against Me.
29 Because of your raging against Me
And because your [g](T)presumptuousness has come up to My ears,
Therefore I will put My (U)hook in your nose
And My (V)bridle in your lips,
And I will turn you back (W)by the way which you came.

30 “Then this shall be the sign for you: [h]you will eat this year what (X)grows of its own accord, in the second year what springs from the same, and in the third year sow, reap, plant vineyards, and eat their fruit. 31 And the (Y)surviving (Z)remnant of the house of Judah will again (AA)take root downward and bear fruit upward. 32 For out of Jerusalem will go forth a (AB)remnant and out of Mount Zion [i]survivors. The (AC)zeal of Yahweh of hosts will do this.”’

33 “Therefore, thus says Yahweh concerning the king of Assyria, ‘He will not come to this city or shoot an arrow there; and he will not come before it with a shield or throw up a (AD)siege ramp against it. 34 (AE)By the way that he came, by the same he will return, and he will not come to this city,’ declares Yahweh. 35 ‘Indeed I will (AF)defend this city to save it (AG)for My own sake and for My servant David’s sake.’”

God’s Answer

21 And Isaiah son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel: ‘Because you have prayed to me concerning[a] Sennacherib, king of Assyria, 22 this is the word that Yahweh has spoken concerning him:

She shows contempt for you; she derides you, virgin daughter of Zion;
    she shakes her head behind you, daughter of Jerusalem.
23 Whom have you taunted and blasphemed,
    and against whom have you raised up your voice and lifted your eyes upward?

To the holy one of Israel!

24 By the hand of your servants you have taunted the Lord,
    and you have said, “With my many chariots,[b]
I myself have gone up the height of the mountains,
    to the remote areas of Lebanon.
And I cut off its tall cedars,[c]
    the choicest of its junipers.
And I came to the height of its limit,
    the forest of its orchard.[d]
25 I myself dug and drank waters,
    and I caused all the streams of Egypt to dry up by the sole of my feet.”
26 Have you not heard from a long time ago?[e] I have made it
    from days of primeval time, and I formed it.
Now I have brought it about,
    and it is for fortified cities to collapse into heaps of destroyed stones.
27 And their inhabitants are weak;[f]
    they are dismayed, and they are ashamed;
they have become like plants[g] of the field,
    and like greens of grass,
like grass on[h] the roofs
    and a cultivated field before[i] the standing grain.
28 And I know your sitting down and your going out,
    and your coming in, and your raging against[j] me.
29 Because you were enraged against[k] me,
    and your noise[l] has come up to[m] my ears,
I will put my hook in your nose
    and my bridle on your lips,
and I will turn you back
    on the way by which you came.

30 And this shall be the sign for you: the eating of volunteer plants[n] this[o] year, and in the second year self-seeded plants,[p] and in the third year sow, reap, plant vineyards, and eat their fruit. 31 And the remnant of the house of Judah that remain shall grow[q] roots[r] downwards and make fruit upwards.

32 For a remnant shall go out from Jerusalem
    and survivors[s] from mountain Zion.

The zeal of Yahweh of hosts will do this.’

33 Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning[t] the king of Assyria:

‘He shall not come to this city,
    and he shall not shoot an arrow there,
and he shall not meet it with a shield,
    and he shall not heap a siege ramp up against her.
34 He shall return by the way that he came,
    and he shall not come to this city,’

declares[u] Yahweh.

35 ‘And I will defend this city, to save it for my sake and for the sake of David, my servant.’”
