19 And when King Hezekiah heard it, he tore his clothes and put on sackcloth, and came into the House of the LORD,
2 and sent Eliakim, who was the steward of the house, and Shebna the chancellor, and the elders of the priests clothed in sackcloth to Isaiah, the Prophet, the son of Amoz.
3 And they said to him, “Thus says Hezekiah, ‘This day is a day of tribulation and of rebuke and blasphemy. For the children have come to the birth, and there is no strength to bring forth.
4 ‘If so be that the LORD your God has heard all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria, his master, has sent to rail on the living God, and to reproach Him with words which the LORD your God has heard, then lift up your prayer for the remnant who are left.’”
5 So, the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6 And Isaiah said to them, “So shall you say to your master, ‘Thus says the LORD: “Do not be afraid of the words which you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.
7 “Behold, I will send a blast upon him. And he shall hear a noise and return to his own land. And I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.”’”
8 So, Rabshakeh returned and found the king of Assyria fighting against Libnah (for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish).
9 Also, about Tirhakah, king of Ethiopia, he heard men say, “Behold, he has come out to fight against you.” Therefore, he departed and sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
10 “Thus shall you speak to Hezekiah, king of Judah, and say, ‘Do not let your God in Whom you trust deceive you, saying, “Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.”
11 ‘Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, how they have destroyed them. And shall you be delivered?
12 ‘Have the gods of the heathen delivered those whom my fathers have destroyed—Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden—who were in Telassar?
13 ‘Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Shepharvaim, Hena and Ivah?’”
14 So Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it. And Hezekiah went up into the House of the LORD. And Hezekiah spread it before the LORD.
15 And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, “O LORD God of Israel, Who dwells between the Cherubim. You are Elohim, alone over all the kingdoms of the Earth. You have made Heaven and Earth.
16 “LORD, bow down Your Ear, and hear.: LORD, open Your Eyes and behold. And hear the words of Sennacherib, who has sent to blaspheme the living God.
17 “It is true, LORD, that the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands,
18 “and have set fire on their gods. For they were no gods, but the work of man’s hands, wood and stone. Therefore, they destroyed them.
19 “Now therefore, O LORD our God, I pray, save us out of his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the Earth may know that You, O LORD, are the only God.”
20 Then Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus says the LORD God of Israel: ‘I have heard that which you have prayed to Me concerning Sennacherib, king of Assyria.’
21 “This is the Word that the LORD has spoken against him: ‘O virgin daughter of Zion! He has despised you, laughed you to scorn. O daughter of Jerusalem! He has shaken His Head at you.
22 ‘Whom have you railed on? And Whom have you blasphemed? And against Whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? —against the Holy One of Israel.
23 ‘By your messengers you have railed on the LORD, and said, “By the multitude of my chariots I have come up to the top of the mountains, by the sides of Lebanon, and will cut down their high cedars, their fair fir trees. And I will go into the lodging of his borders, and into the forest of his fruit.
24 “I have dug and drunk the waters of others. And with the plant of my feet I have dried all the rivers of entrenchment.”
25 ‘Have you not heard how in ancient times I made it, and formed it long ago? And should I now bring it to be destroyed, and laid on ruinous heaps, as defensed cities,
26 ‘whose inhabitants have small power, are afraid, and confounded? They are like the grass of the field, and green herb, grass on the house tops, or as corn blasted before it is grown.
27 ‘I know your dwelling, your going out and your coming in, and your fury against Me.
28 ‘And because you rage against Me, and your tumult has come up to My Ears, I will put My hook in your nostrils, and My bridle in your lips, and will bring you back again the same way you came.
29 ‘And this shall be a sign to you. This year, you shall eat such things as grow by themselves, and the next year such as grow without sowing, and the third year you shall sow and reap and plant vineyards and eat their fruits.
30 ‘And the remnant of the House of Judah that has escaped, shall again take root downward and bear fruit upward.
31 ‘For out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant, and some who shall escape out of Mount Zion. The zeal of the LORD of Hosts shall do this.’
32 “Therefore, thus says the LORD concerning the king of Assyria: ‘He shall not enter into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a siege mount against it.
33 ‘He shall return the way he came, and shall not come into this city,’ says the LORD,
34 ‘For I will defend this city to save it for My own sake, and for David My servant’s sake.’”
35 And the same night, the Angel of the LORD went out and struck a hundred eighty-five thousand in the camp of Assyria. So, when they rose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
36 So Sennacherib, king of Assyria, departed and went his way and returned and dwelt in Nineveh.
37 And as he was in the Temple worshipping Nisroch, his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer, his sons, killed him with the sword. And they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon, his son, reigned in his place.
1 Long ago, at various times and in diverse ways, God spoke to our fathers by the Prophets. In these last days, He has spoken to us by His Son,
2 Whom He has made heir of all things. Through Whom He also made the world.
3 He, being the brightness of the Glory and the engraved form of His person and bearing up all things by His mighty Word, has purged our sins through Himself. And He sits at the right hand of the Majesty in the Highest Places.
4 And He is made so much more excellent than the angels, inasmuch as He has obtained a more excellent Name than they.
5 For to which of the angels has He said at any time, “You are My Son. This day I begat You.”? And again, “I will be His Father, and He shall be My Son.”?
6 And again, when He brings in His first begotten Son into the world, He says, “And let all the angels of God worship Him.”
7 And of the angels, He says, “He makes the spirits His messengers, and His ministers a flame of fire.”
8 But to the Son, He says, “O God, Your throne is forever and ever. The scepter of Your Kingdom is a scepter of righteousness.
9 “You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity. Therefore God - even Your God - has anointed You with the oil of gladness above Your associates.”10 And, “You, Lord, established the Earth in the beginning. And the heavens are the works of Your hands.
11 “They shall perish, but You remain. And they all shall grow old, as does a garment.
12 “And as a cloak, You shall fold them up. And they shall be changed. But You are the same. And Your years shall not fail.”
13 Also, to which of the angels has He said at any time, “Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for the sakes of those who shall be heirs of salvation?
12 Ephraim is fed with the wind and follows after the East wind. He increases daily lies and destruction. And they make a covenant with Assyria. And oil is carried into Egypt.
2 Also, the LORD has a dispute with Judah and will visit Jacob, according to His ways. According to His works, will He recompense him.
3 He took his brother by the heel in the womb; and by his strength he contended with God
4 and had power over the Angel and prevailed. He wept and prayed to Him. He found Him in Bethel. And He spoke with us there.
5 Yea, the LORD God of Hosts. The LORD is His own memorial.
6 Therefore, turn to your God! Keep mercy and judgment and continue to hope in your God.
7 Canaan! The balances of deceit are in his hand. He loves to oppress.
8 And Ephraim said, “Nevertheless, I am rich! I have found wealth for myself in all my labors! They shall find no iniquity in me that is wickedness.”
9 “Though I am the LORD your God, from the land of Egypt, yet will I make you dwell in the tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn Feast.
10 “I have also spoken by the Prophets. And I have multiplied visions and used similitudes by the ministry of the Prophets.”
11 Is there iniquity in Gilead? Surely, they are worthless. They sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal. And their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the field.
12 And Jacob fled into the country of Aram. And Israel served for a wife. And for a wife he kept sheep.
13 And by a Prophet, the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt. And by a Prophet he was preserved.
14 Ephraim provoked Him with high places. Therefore, his blood shall be poured upon him. And his LORD shall reward him with his reproach.
135 Praise the Name of the LORD, you servants of the LORD! Praise,
2 you who stand in the House of the LORD and in the courts of the House of our God!
3 Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good! Sing praises to His Name; for it is a sweet thing.
4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob for Himself and Israel for His chief treasure.
5 For I know that the LORD is great and that our LORD is above all gods.
6 Whatever pleased the LORD, He did in Heaven and on Earth, in the sea and in all the depths.
7 He brings up the clouds from the ends of the Earth and makes the lightning with the rain. He draws forth the wind out of His treasures.
8 He struck the firstborn of Egypt (of both man and beast).
9 He has sent signs and wonders into the midst of You, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants.
10 He struck many nations and slew mighty Kings—
11 Sihon, King of the Amorites and Og, King of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan—
12 and gave their land for an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel, His people.
13 Your Name, O LORD, endures forever! O LORD, Your remembrance is from generation to generation.
14 For the LORD will judge His people and be pacified toward His servants.
15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
16 They have a mouth and do not speak. They have eyes and do not see.
17 They have ears and do not hear, nor is there any breath in their mouth.
18 Those who make them are like them, all who trust in them.

18 and slew mighty kings, for His mercy endures forever
19 (Sihon, king of the Amorites, for His mercy endures forever,
20 Og, the king of Bashan, for His mercy endures forever),
21 and gave their land for a heritage, for His mercy endures forever
22 (a heritage to Israel his servant; for his mercy endures forever).
23 Who remembered us in our low estate, for His mercy endures forever,
24 and has rescued us from our oppressors; for His mercy endures forever.
