Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,
Ye shall worship <7812 shachah > before <6440 paniym > this

of the least <6996 qatan > of my master s <0113 >adown >

<5921 <al > Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > for chariots <7393 rekeb >
and for horsemen <6571 parash > ?
: 10 And am I now <6258 <attah > come <5927 <alah > up without

: 18 Of a truth <0551 >omnam > , LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , the
kings <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > have laid waste
<2717 charab > all <3605 kol > the nations <0776 >erets > , and
their countries <0776 >erets > ,
: 19 And have cast <5414 nathan > their gods <0430 >elohiym >
into the fire <0784 >esh > : for they [ were ] no <3808 lo> >
gods <0430 >elohiym > , but the work <4639 ma<aseh > of men s

God <0430 >elohiym > , save <3467 yasha< > us from his hand
<3027 yad > , that all <3605 kol > the kingdoms <4467 mamlakah

<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , Whereas <0834 >aher > thou hast
prayed <6419 palal > to me against <0413 >el > Sennacherib <5576
Cancheriyb > king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > :
: 22 This <2088 zeh > [ is ] the word <1697 dabar > which
<0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar >
concerning <5921 <al > him ; The virgin <1330 b@thuwlah > ,
the daughter <1323 bath > of Zion <6726 Tsiyown > , hath
despised <0959 bazah > thee , [ and ] laughed <3932 la<ag >
thee to scorn ; the daughter <1323 bath > of Jerusalem <3389

: 23 Whom hast thou reproached <2778 charaph . > and
blasphemed <1442 gadaph > ? and against <5921 <al > whom <4310

<6918 qadowsh > One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .
: 24 By thy servants <5650 <ebed > hast thou reproached <2778

of the mountains <2022 har > , to the sides <3411 y@rekah > of
Lebanon <3844 L@banown > ; and I will cut <3772 karath > down
the tall <6967 qowmah > cedars <0730 >erez > thereof , [ and ]
the choice <4005 mibchar > fir <1265 b@rowsh > trees thereof :

his border <7093 qets > , [ and ] the forest <3293 ya<ar > of
his Carmel <3760 Karmel > .
: 25 I have digged <5365 naqar > , and drunk <8354 shathah >
water <4325 mayim > ; and with the sole <3709 kaph > of my feet
<6471 pa<am > have I dried <2717 charab > up all <3605 kol > the
rivers <2975 y@<or > of the besieged <4693 matsowr > places .
: 26 Hast thou not heard <8085 shama< > long <5704 <ad > ago
<7350 rachowq > , [ how ] I have done <6213 <asah > it ; [

[ into ] ruinous <5327 natsah > heaps <1530 gal > .
: 27 Therefore their inhabitants <3427 yashab > [ were ] of
small <7116 qatser > power <3027 yad > , they were dismayed
<2865 chathath > and confounded <0954 buwsh > : they were [ as

as ] the green <3419 yaraq > herb <1877 deshe> > , [ as ]
the grass <2682 chatsiyr > on the housetops <1406 gag > , and
[ as corn ] blasted <7709 sh@demah > before <6440 paniym > it

: 28 But I know <3045 yada< > thy abode <3427 yashab > , and
thy going <3318 yatsa> > out , and thy coming <0935 bow> > in ,

: 33 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > concerning <0413 >el > the king <4428

for my servant <5650 <ebed > David s <1732 David > sake <4616

: 36 Then the angel <4397 mal>ak > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > , and smote <5221

And Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > the son

And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > wept <1058 bakah > sore <1419

<4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > : and I will defend
<1598 ganan > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > .
: 7 And this <2088 zeh > [ shall be ] a sign <0226 >owth >
unto thee from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , that the LORD <3068

king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , when he had been
sick <2470 chalah > , and was recovered <2421 chayah > of his

Y@hovah > , As the new <8492 tiyrowsh > wine <8492 tiyrowsh >
is found <4672 matsa> > in the cluster <0811 >eshkowl > , and
[ one ] saith <0559 >amar > , Destroy <7843 shachath > it not ;
for a blessing <1293 B@rakah > [ is ] in it : so <3651 ken >
will I do <6213 <asah > for my servants <5650 <ebed > sakes

: 9 And I will bring <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > a seed
<2233 zera< > out of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > , and out of Judah
<3063 Y@huwdah > an inheritor <3423 yarash > of my mountains

yarash > it , and my servants <5650 <ebed > shall dwell <7931
shakan > there <8033 sham > .
: 10 And Sharon <8289 Sharown > shall be a fold <5116 naveh >
of flocks <6629 tso>n > , and the valley <6010 <emeq > of Achor
<5911 <Alowr > a place for the herds <1241 baqar > to lie <7258

that have sought <1875 darash > me .
: 11 . But ye [ are ] they that forsake <5800 <azab > the

that furnish <4390 male> > the drink <4469 mamcak > offering
unto that number <4507 M@niy > .
: 12 Therefore will I number <4487 manah > you to the sword
<2719 chereb > , and ye shall all <3605 kol > bow <3766 kara< >
down <3766 kara< > to the slaughter <2875 Tebach > : because

: 14 Behold <2009 hinneh > , my servants <5650 <ebed > shall
sing <7442 ranan > for joy <2898 tuwb > of heart <3820 leb > ,
but ye shall cry <6817 tsa<aq > for sorrow <3511 k@>eb > of

for a curse <7621 sh@buw<ah > unto my chosen <0977 bachar > :
for the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > shall slay

the God <0430 >elohiym > of truth <0548 >amanah > ; and he that
sweareth <7650 shaba< > in the earth <0776 >erets > shall swear

troubles <6869 tsarah > are forgotten <7911 shakach > , and
because <3588 kiy > they are hid <5641 cathar > from mine eyes

and inhabit <3427 yashab > [ them ] ; and they shall plant
<5193 nata< > vineyards <3754 kerem > , and eat <0398 >akal >
the fruit <6529 p@riy > of them .

: 24 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass , that before
<2962 terem > they call <7121 qara> > , I will answer <6030

sacrificeth <2076 zabach > a lamb <7716 seh > , [ as if ] he
cut off a dog s <3611 keleb > neck <6202 <araph > ; he that
offereth <5927 <alah > an oblation <4503 minchah > , [ as if
he offered <5927 <alah > ] swine s <2386 chaziyr > blood <1818

[ as if ] he blessed <1288 barak > an idol <0205 >aven > .
Yea <1571 gam > , they have chosen <0977 bachar > their own

<2654 chaphets > in their abominations <8251 shiqquwts > .

delusions <8586 ta<aluwl > , and will bring <0935 bow> > their
