King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. And it came to pass,[H1961] when king[H4428] Hezekiah[H2396] heard[H8085] it, that he rent[H7167] [H853] his clothes,[H899] and covered himself[H3680] with sackcloth,[H8242] and went[H935] into the house[H1004] of the LORD.[H3068]

2. And he sent[H7971] [H853] Eliakim,[H471] which[H834] was over[H5921] the household,[H1004] and Shebna[H7644] the scribe,[H5608] and the elders[H2205] of the priests,[H3548] covered[H3680] with sackcloth,[H8242] to[H413] Isaiah[H3470] the prophet[H5030] the son[H1121] of Amoz.[H531]

3. And they said[H559] unto[H413] him, Thus[H3541] saith[H559] Hezekiah,[H2396] This[H2088] day[H3117] is a day[H3117] of trouble,[H6869] and of rebuke,[H8433] and blasphemy:[H5007] for[H3588] the children[H1121] are come[H935] to[H5704] the birth,[H4866] and there is not[H369] strength[H3581] to bring forth.[H3205]

4. It may be[H194] the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] will hear[H8085] [H853] all[H3605] the words[H1697] of Rab-shakeh,[H7262] whom[H834] the king[H4428] of Assyria[H804] his master[H113] hath sent[H7971] to reproach[H2778] the living[H2416] God;[H430] and will reprove[H3198] the words[H1697] which[H834] the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] hath heard:[H8085] wherefore lift up[H5375] thy prayer[H8605] for[H1157] the remnant[H7611] that are left.[H4672]

5. So the servants[H5650] of king[H4428] Hezekiah[H2396] came[H935] to[H413] Isaiah.[H3470]

6. And Isaiah[H3470] said[H559] unto them, Thus[H3541] shall ye say[H559] to[H413] your master,[H113] Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD,[H3068] Be not afraid[H408] [H3372] of[H4480] [H6440] the words[H1697] which[H834] thou hast heard,[H8085] with which[H834] the servants[H5288] of the king[H4428] of Assyria[H804] have blasphemed[H1442] me.

7. Behold,[H2009] I will send[H5414] a blast[H7307] upon him, and he shall hear[H8085] a rumor,[H8052] and shall return[H7725] to his own land;[H776] and I will cause him to fall[H5307] by the sword[H2719] in his own land.[H776]

8. So Rab-shakeh[H7262] returned,[H7725] and found[H4672] [H853] the king[H4428] of Assyria[H804] warring[H3898] against[H5921] Libnah:[H3841] for[H3588] he had heard[H8085] that[H3588] he was departed[H5265] from Lachish.[H4480] [H3923]

9. And when he heard[H8085] say[H559] of[H413] Tirhakah[H8640] king[H4428] of Ethiopia,[H3568] Behold,[H2009] he is come out[H3318] to fight[H3898] against[H854] thee: he sent[H7971] messengers[H4397] again[H7725] unto[H413] Hezekiah,[H2396] saying,[H559]

10. Thus[H3541] shall ye speak[H559] to[H413] Hezekiah[H2396] king[H4428] of Judah,[H3063] saying,[H559] Let not[H408] thy God[H430] in whom[H834] thou[H859] trustest[H982] deceive[H5377] thee, saying,[H559] Jerusalem[H3389] shall not[H3808] be delivered[H5414] into the hand[H3027] of the king[H4428] of Assyria.[H804]

11. Behold,[H2009] thou[H859] hast heard[H8085] [H853] what[H834] the kings[H4428] of Assyria[H804] have done[H6213] to all[H3605] lands,[H776] by destroying them utterly:[H2763] and shalt thou[H859] be delivered?[H5337]

12. Have the gods[H430] of the nations[H1471] delivered[H5337] them which[H834] my fathers[H1] have destroyed;[H7843] as[H853] Gozan,[H1470] and Haran,[H2771] and Rezeph,[H7530] and the children[H1121] of Eden[H5729] which[H834] were in Thelasar?[H8515]

13. Where[H346] is the king[H4428] of Hamath,[H2574] and the king[H4428] of Arpad,[H774] and the king[H4428] of the city[H5892] of Sepharvaim,[H5617] of Hena,[H2012] and Ivah?[H5755]

14. And Hezekiah[H2396] received[H3947] [H853] the letter[H5612] of the hand[H4480] [H3027] of the messengers,[H4397] and read[H7121] it: and Hezekiah[H2396] went up[H5927] into the house[H1004] of the LORD,[H3068] and spread[H6566] it before[H6440] the LORD.[H3068]

15. And Hezekiah[H2396] prayed[H6419] before[H6440] the LORD,[H3068] and said,[H559] O LORD[H3068] God[H430] of Israel,[H3478] which dwellest[H3427] between the cherubims,[H3742] thou[H859] art the God,[H430] even thou alone,[H905] of all[H3605] the kingdoms[H4467] of the earth;[H776] thou[H859] hast made[H6213] [H853] heaven[H8064] and earth.[H776]

16. LORD,[H3068] bow down[H5186] thine ear,[H241] and hear:[H8085] open,[H6491] LORD,[H3068] thine eyes,[H5869] and see:[H7200] and hear[H8085] [H853] the words[H1697] of Sennacherib,[H5576] which[H834] hath sent[H7971] him to reproach[H2778] the living[H2416] God.[H430]

17. Of a truth,[H546] LORD,[H3068] the kings[H4428] of Assyria[H804] have destroyed[H2717] the nations[H1471] and[H853] their lands,[H776]

18. And have cast[H5414] [H853] their gods[H430] into the fire:[H784] for[H3588] they[H1992] were no[H3808] gods,[H430] but[H3588] [H518] the work[H4639] of men's[H120] hands,[H3027] wood[H6086] and stone:[H68] therefore they have destroyed[H6] them.

19. Now[H6258] therefore, O LORD[H3068] our God,[H430] I beseech thee,[H4994] save[H3467] thou us out of his hand,[H4480] [H3027] that all[H3605] the kingdoms[H4467] of the earth[H776] may know[H3045] that[H3588] thou[H859] art the LORD[H3068] God,[H430] even thou only.[H905]

20. Then Isaiah[H3470] the son[H1121] of Amoz[H531] sent[H7971] to[H413] Hezekiah,[H2396] saying,[H559] Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of Israel,[H3478] That which[H834] thou hast prayed[H6419] to[H413] me against[H413] Sennacherib[H5576] king[H4428] of Assyria[H804] I have heard.[H8085]

21. This[H2088] is the word[H1697] that[H834] the LORD[H3068] hath spoken[H1696] concerning[H5921] him; The virgin[H1330] the daughter[H1323] of Zion[H6726] hath despised[H959] thee, and laughed thee to scorn;[H3932] the daughter[H1323] of Jerusalem[H3389] hath shaken[H5128] her head[H7218] at[H310] thee.

22. [H853] Whom[H4310] hast thou reproached[H2778] and blasphemed?[H1442] and against[H5921] whom[H4310] hast thou exalted[H7311] thy voice,[H6963] and lifted up[H5375] thine eyes[H5869] on high?[H4791] even against[H5921] the Holy[H6918] One of Israel.[H3478]

23. By[H3027] thy messengers[H4397] thou hast reproached[H2778] the Lord,[H136] and hast said,[H559] With the multitude[H7230] of my chariots[H7393] I[H589] am come up[H5927] to the height[H4791] of the mountains,[H2022] to the sides[H3411] of Lebanon,[H3844] and will cut down[H3772] the tall[H6967] cedar trees[H730] thereof, and the choice[H4004] fir trees[H1265] thereof: and I will enter[H935] into the lodgings[H4411] of his borders,[H7093] and into the forest[H3293] of his Carmel.[H3760]

24. I[H589] have digged[H6979] and drunk[H8354] strange[H2114] waters,[H4325] and with the sole[H3709] of my feet[H6471] have I dried up[H2717] all[H3605] the rivers[H2975] of besieged places.[H4693]

25. Hast thou not[H3808] heard[H8085] long ago[H4480] [H7350] how I have done[H6213] it, and of ancient times[H4480] [H3117] [H6924] that I have formed[H3335] it? now[H6258] have I brought it to pass,[H935] that thou shouldest be[H1961] to lay waste[H7582] fenced[H1219] cities[H5892] into ruinous[H5327] heaps.[H1530]

26. Therefore their inhabitants[H3427] were of small[H7116] power,[H3027] they were dismayed[H2865] and confounded;[H954] they were[H1961] as the grass[H6212] of the field,[H7704] and as the green[H3419] herb,[H1877] as the grass[H2682] on the housetops,[H1406] and as corn blasted[H7711] before[H6440] it be grown up.[H7054]

27. But I know[H3045] thy abode,[H3427] and thy going out,[H3318] and thy coming in,[H935] and thy rage[H7264] against[H413] me.

28. Because[H3282] thy rage[H7264] against[H413] me and thy tumult[H7600] is come up[H5927] into mine ears,[H241] therefore I will put[H7760] my hook[H2397] in thy nose,[H639] and my bridle[H4964] in thy lips,[H8193] and I will turn thee back[H7725] by the way[H1870] by which[H834] thou camest.[H935]

29. And this[H2088] shall be a sign[H226] unto thee, Ye shall eat[H398] this year[H8141] such things as grow of themselves,[H5599] and in the second[H8145] year[H8141] that which springeth of the same;[H7823] and in the third[H7992] year[H8141] sow[H2232] ye, and reap,[H7114] and plant[H5193] vineyards,[H3754] and eat[H398] the fruits[H6529] thereof.

30. And the remnant[H7604] that is escaped[H6413] of the house[H1004] of Judah[H3063] shall yet again[H3254] take root[H8328] downward,[H4295] and bear[H6213] fruit[H6529] upward.[H4605]

31. For[H3588] out of Jerusalem[H4480] [H3389] shall go forth[H3318] a remnant,[H7611] and they that escape[H6413] out of mount[H4480] [H2022] Zion:[H6726] the zeal[H7068] of the LORD[H3068] of hosts shall do[H6213] this.[H2063]

32. Therefore[H3651] thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] concerning[H413] the king[H4428] of Assyria,[H804] He shall not[H3808] come[H935] into[H413] this[H2063] city,[H5892] nor[H3808] shoot[H3384] an arrow[H2671] there,[H8033] nor[H3808] come before[H6923] it with shield,[H4043] nor[H3808] cast[H8210] a bank[H5550] against[H5921] it.

33. By the way[H1870] that[H834] he came,[H935] by the same shall he return,[H7725] and shall not[H3808] come[H935] into[H413] this[H2063] city,[H5892] saith[H5002] the LORD.[H3068]

34. For I will defend[H1598] [H413] this[H2063] city,[H5892] to save[H3467] it, for mine own sake,[H4616] and for my servant[H5650] David's[H1732] sake.[H4616]

35. And it came to pass[H1961] that[H1931] night,[H3915] that the angel[H4397] of the LORD[H3068] went out,[H3318] and smote[H5221] in the camp[H4264] of the Assyrians[H804] a hundred[H3967] fourscore[H8084] and five[H2568] thousand:[H505] and when they arose early[H7925] in the morning,[H1242] behold,[H2009] they were all[H3605] dead[H4191] corpses.[H6297]

36. So Sennacherib[H5576] king[H4428] of Assyria[H804] departed,[H5265] and went[H1980] and returned,[H7725] and dwelt[H3427] at Nineveh.[H5210]

37. And it came to pass,[H1961] as he[H1931] was worshiping[H7812] in the house[H1004] of Nisroch[H5268] his god,[H430] that Adrammelech[H152] and Sharezer[H8272] his sons[H1121] smote[H5221] him with the sword:[H2719] and they[H1992] escaped[H4422] into the land[H776] of Armenia.[H780] And Esarhaddon[H634] his son[H1121] reigned[H4427] in his stead.[H8478]
