New International Version
Sennacherib’s Fall(A)
21 Then Isaiah son of Amoz(B) sent a message to Hezekiah: “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Because you have prayed to me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria, 22 this is the word the Lord has spoken against him:
“Virgin Daughter(C) Zion(D)
despises and mocks you.
Daughter Jerusalem
tosses her head(E) as you flee.
23 Who is it you have ridiculed and blasphemed?(F)
Against whom have you raised your voice(G)
and lifted your eyes in pride?(H)
Against the Holy One(I) of Israel!
24 By your messengers
you have ridiculed the Lord.
And you have said,
‘With my many chariots(J)
I have ascended the heights of the mountains,
the utmost heights(K) of Lebanon.(L)
I have cut down its tallest cedars,
the choicest of its junipers.(M)
I have reached its remotest heights,
the finest of its forests.
25 I have dug wells in foreign lands[a]
and drunk the water there.
With the soles of my feet
I have dried up(N) all the streams of Egypt.(O)’
26 “Have you not heard?
Long ago I ordained(P) it.
In days of old I planned(Q) it;
now I have brought it to pass,
that you have turned fortified cities
into piles of stone.(R)
27 Their people, drained of power,
are dismayed and put to shame.
They are like plants in the field,
like tender green shoots,
like grass(S) sprouting on the roof,(T)
scorched[b] before it grows up.
28 “But I know where you are
and when you come and go(U)
and how you rage(V) against me.
29 Because you rage against me
and because your insolence(W) has reached my ears,
I will put my hook(X) in your nose(Y)
and my bit in your mouth,
and I will make you return
by the way you came.(Z)
30 “This will be the sign(AA) for you, Hezekiah:
“This year(AB) you will eat what grows by itself,
and the second year what springs from that.
But in the third year(AC) sow and reap,
plant vineyards(AD) and eat their fruit.(AE)
31 Once more a remnant of the kingdom of Judah
will take root(AF) below and bear fruit(AG) above.
32 For out of Jerusalem will come a remnant,(AH)
and out of Mount Zion a band of survivors.(AI)
The zeal(AJ) of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this.
33 “Therefore this is what the Lord says concerning the king of Assyria:
“He will not enter this city(AK)
or shoot an arrow here.
He will not come before it with shield
or build a siege ramp(AL) against it.
34 By the way that he came he will return;(AM)
he will not enter this city,”
declares the Lord.
35 “I will defend(AN) this city and save it,
for my sake(AO) and for the sake of David(AP) my servant!”

God’s Answer
21 Then Amoz’s son Isaiah sent this message to Hezekiah: “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says, to whom you prayed[a] concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria. 22 This is the message that the Lord has spoken in opposition to him:
“‘The Virgin Daughter of Zion
despises and mocks you;
the Daughter of Jerusalem—
she tosses her head behind you as you flee.
23 Whom have you insulted and reviled?
Against whom have you raised your voice
and lifted your eyes in pride?
Against the Holy One of Israel!
24 By your messengers[b] you have insulted the Lord,
and you have said,
“With my many chariots
I have climbed the heights of mountains,
the utmost heights of Lebanon.
I cut down its tallest cedars,
the choicest of its pines;
I reached its remotest heights,
the most verdant of its forests.
25 I myself dug wells[c]
and drank foreign[d] waters;
with the soles of my feet
I dried up all the streams of Egypt.”
26 “‘Didn’t you hear
how in the distant past I decided to do it,
how[e] I planned from days of old?
Now I’ve made it happen—
that fortified cities become devastated, besieged heaps.[f]
27 Their inhabitants are devoid of power,
and are terrified and put to shame.
They’ve become like plants in the field,
like[g] green shoots,
like grass on rooftops,
scorched by the east wind.[h]
28 “‘I know when you rise up
and[i] when you sit down,
your comings and goings—
and how you’ve become enraged at me.
29 Your insolence[j] has reached my ears,
so I’ll put my hook in your nose
and my bit in your mouth,[k]
and I’ll make you turn back on the road
by which you came.
30 “And this will be your sign, Hezekiah:[l] Eat this year what grows on its own, and in the second year what springs from that. But in the third year sow, reap, plant vineyards, and eat their fruit. 31 Then the ones belonging to the house of Judah who have escaped will gather,[m] and those who are found[n] will take root downward and bear fruit upward. 32 For a remnant will come out of Zion,[o] and a band of survivors from Jerusalem.[p] The zeal of the Lord of the Heavenly Armies will accomplish this.
33 “Therefore this what the Lord says concerning the king of Assyria: ‘He won’t enter this city, build up a siege ramp against it, shoot an arrow here, or threaten it with a shield.[q] 34 By the same way that he came, he will return; he won’t enter this city,’ declares the Lord, 35 ‘because I will defend this city and deliver[r] it, for my own sake and for the sake of my servant David!’”
