¹⁵She said to them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Tell the man who sent you to me, ¹⁶‘This is what the Lord says: I am going to bring disaster^(A) on this place and its people, according to everything written in the book^(B) the king of Judah has read. ¹⁷Because they have forsaken^(C) me and burned incense to other gods and aroused my anger by all the idols their hands have made,^[a] my anger will burn against this place and will not be quenched.’ ¹⁸Tell the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire^(D) of the Lord, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says concerning the words you heard: ¹⁹Because your heart was responsive and you humbled^(E) yourself before the Lord when you heard what I have spoken against this place and its people—that they would become a curse^[b]^(F) and be laid waste^(G)—and because you tore your robes and wept in my presence, I also have heard you, declares the Lord. ²⁰Therefore I will gather you to your ancestors, and you will be buried in peace.^(H) Your eyes^(I) will not see all the disaster I am going to bring on this place.’”

So they took her answer back to the king.

Isaiah Prophesies Sennacherib’s Fall^(A)^(B)

²⁰Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent a message to Hezekiah: “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I have heard^(C) your prayer concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria. ²¹This is the word that the Lord has spoken against^(D) him:

“‘Virgin Daughter^(E) Zion
    despises^(F) you and mocks^(G) you.
Daughter Jerusalem
    tosses her head^(H) as you flee.
²²Who is it you have ridiculed and blasphemed?^(I)
    Against whom have you raised your voice
and lifted your eyes in pride?
    Against the Holy One^(J) of Israel!
²³By your messengers
    you have ridiculed the Lord.
And you have said,^(K)
    “With my many chariots^(L)
I have ascended the heights of the mountains,
    the utmost heights of Lebanon.
I have cut down^(M) its tallest cedars,
    the choicest of its junipers.
I have reached its remotest parts,
    the finest of its forests.
²⁴I have dug wells in foreign lands
    and drunk the water there.
With the soles of my feet
    I have dried up all the streams of Egypt.”

²⁵“‘Have you not heard?^(N)
    Long ago I ordained it.
In days of old I planned^(O) it;
    now I have brought it to pass,
that you have turned fortified cities
    into piles of stone.^(P)
²⁶Their people, drained of power,^(Q)
    are dismayed^(R) and put to shame.
They are like plants in the field,
    like tender green shoots,^(S)
like grass sprouting on the roof,
    scorched^(T) before it grows up.

²⁷“‘But I know^(U) where you are
    and when you come and go
    and how you rage against me.
²⁸Because you rage against me
    and because your insolence has reached my ears,
I will put my hook^(V) in your nose
    and my bit^(W) in your mouth,
and I will make you return^(X)
    by the way you came.’

²⁹“This will be the sign^(Y) for you, Hezekiah:

“This year you will eat what grows by itself,^(Z)
    and the second year what springs from that.
But in the third year sow and reap,
    plant vineyards^(AA) and eat their fruit.
³⁰Once more a remnant^(AB) of the kingdom of Judah
    will take root^(AC) below and bear fruit above.
³¹For out of Jerusalem will come a remnant,^(AD)
    and out of Mount Zion a band of survivors.^(AE)

“The zeal^(AF) of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.

³²“Therefore this is what the Lord says concerning the king of Assyria:

“‘He will not enter this city
    or shoot an arrow here.
He will not come before it with shield
    or build a siege ramp against it.
³³By the way that he came he will return;^(AG)
    he will not enter this city,
declares the Lord.
³⁴I will defend^(AH) this city and save it,
    for my sake and for the sake of David^(AI) my servant.’”

³⁵That night the angel of the Lord^(AJ) went out and put to death a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the Assyrian camp. When the people got up the next morning—there were all the dead bodies!^(AK) ³⁶So Sennacherib king of Assyria broke camp and withdrew.^(AL) He returned to Nineveh^(AM) and stayed there.

³⁷One day, while he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisrok, his sons Adrammelek^(AN) and Sharezer killed him with the sword,^(AO) and they escaped to the land of Ararat.^(AP) And Esarhaddon^(AQ) his son succeeded him as king.
