CHAPTER 37
Isaiah 37:1
1 And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes,
and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD.
Isaiah 37:2
2 And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and
the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the
son of Amoz.
Isaiah 37:3
3 And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble,
and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and
there is not strength to bring forth. Isaiah 37:4
4 It may be the LORD thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of
Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the
words  which the LORD  thy God  hath heard:  wherefore lift up  thy prayer  for
the remnant  that is left. Isaiah 37:5
5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah. Isaiah 37:6
6 And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say unto your master, Thus saith the
LORD, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants
of the king of Assyria  have blasphemed  me. Isaiah 37:7
7 Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and return
to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
Isaiah 37:8
8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah:
for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish. Isaiah 37:9
9 And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is come forth to
make war with thee. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah,
saying,
Isaiah 37:10
10 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God, in
whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the
hand of the king  of Assyria. Isaiah 37:11
11 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by
destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered? Isaiah 37:12
12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed,
as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in
Telassar?
Isaiah 37:13
13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the
city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah? Isaiah 37:14
14 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read
it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD, and spread it before the
LORD.
Isaiah 37:15
15 And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD, saying, Isaiah 37:16
16 O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou
art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made
heaven and earth.
Isaiah 37:17
17 Incline thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open thine eyes, O LORD, and see: and
hear all the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent to reproach  the living 
God.
Isaiah 37:18
18 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and
their countries,
Isaiah 37:19
19 And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work
of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them. Isaiah
37:20
20 Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms
of the earth may know that thou art the LORD, even thou only. Isaiah 37:21
21 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD
God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of
Assyria:
Isaiah 37:22
22 This is the word which the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin, the
daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter
of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee. Isaiah 37:23
23 Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted
thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of
Israel.
Isaiah 37:24
24 By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and hast said, By the
multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the
sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down  the tall  cedars  thereof, and the
choice  fir trees  thereof: and I will enter  into the height  of his border, 
and the forest  of his Carmel. Isaiah 37:25
25 I have digged, and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up
all the rivers of the besieged places. Isaiah 37:26
26 Hast thou not heard long ago, how I have done it; and of ancient times, that
I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay
waste defenced cities into ruinous heaps. Isaiah 37:27
27 Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and
confounded: they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the
grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted  before  it be grown up. Isaiah
37:28
28 But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage
against me.
Isaiah 37:29
29 Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into mine ears,
therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will
turn thee back by the way by which thou camest. Isaiah 37:30
30 And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such as groweth
of itself; and the second year that which springeth of the same: and in the
third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards,  and eat  the fruit thereof.
Isaiah 37:31
31 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root
downward, and bear fruit upward: Isaiah 37:32
32 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of
mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this. Isaiah 37:33
33 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not
come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields,
nor cast a bank against it. Isaiah 37:34
34 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come
into this city, saith the LORD.
Isaiah 37:35
35 For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant
David's sake.
Isaiah 37:36
36 Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the
Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early
in the morning, behold, they were all dead  corpses. Isaiah 37:37
37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at
Nineveh.
Isaiah 37:38
38 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god,
that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they
escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esarhaddon  his son  reigned  in his
stead.
CHAPTER 38
Isaiah 38:1
1 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of
Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house  in
order:  for thou shalt die,  and not live. Isaiah 38:2
2 Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD,
Isaiah 38:3
3 And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee
in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy
sight. And Hezekiah  wept  sore. Isaiah 38:4
4 Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying, Isaiah 38:5
5 Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I
have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add  unto thy days
 fifteen  years.
Isaiah 38:6
6 And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria:
and I will defend this city. Isaiah 38:7
7 And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this
thing that he hath spoken;
Isaiah 38:8
8 Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in
the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, 
by which degrees  it was gone down. Isaiah 38:9
9 The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was
recovered of his sickness:
Isaiah 38:10
10 I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave:
I am deprived of the residue of my years. Isaiah 38:11
11 I said, I shall not see the LORD, even the LORD, in the land of the living:
I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world. Isaiah 38:12
12 Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd's tent: I have
cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from
day even to night wilt thou make an end  of me. Isaiah 38:13
13 I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all my bones:
from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me. Isaiah 38:14
14 Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine
eyes fail with looking upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me. Isaiah
38:15
15 What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it: I
shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul. Isaiah 38:16
16 O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my
spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live. Isaiah 38:17
17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul
delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind
thy back.
Isaiah 38:18
18 For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go
down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. Isaiah 38:19
19 The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father
to the children shall make known thy truth. Isaiah 38:20
20 The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the
stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD. Isaiah
38:21
21 For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaister
upon the boil, and he shall recover. Isaiah 38:22
22 Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of
the LORD?
CHAPTER 39
Isaiah 39:1
1 At that time Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent
letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that he had been sick, and
was recovered.
Isaiah 39:2
2 And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them the house of his precious
things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment,
and all the house of his armour, and all that was found  in his treasures:
there was nothing  in his house,  nor in all his dominion,  that Hezekiah
shewed  them not.
Isaiah 39:3
3 Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said
these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are
come  from a far  country  unto me, even from Babylon. Isaiah 39:4
4 Then said he, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All
that is in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that
I have not shewed them. Isaiah 39:5
5 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD of hosts: Isaiah 39:6
6 Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy
fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon:
nothing shall be left, saith the LORD. Isaiah 39:7
7 And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall
they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
Isaiah 39:8
8 Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast
spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.
