up your tefillah for the remnant that are left.
5 So the avadim of melech Hizqiyahu came to
Yeshayahu.
6 And Yeshayahu said to them, This shall you say to your
master, This says vuvh, Be not afraid of the words which
you have heard, with which the avadim of the melech of
Ashshur have blasphemed Me.
7 See, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a
rumor, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause
him to fall by the sword in his own land.
8 So Rav-Shakeh returned, and found the melech of
Ashshur warring against Livnah: for he had heard that he
had departed from Lachish.
9 And when the melech heard concerning Tirhakah
melech of Ethiopia, See, he has come out to fight against
you: he sent messengers again to Hizqiyahu, saying,
10 This shall you speak to Hizqiyahu melech of Yahudah,
saying, Let not your Elohim in whom you trust deceive
you, saying, Yahrushalayim shall not be delivered into the
hand of the melech of Ashshur.
11 See, you have heard what the melechim of Ashshur
have done to all the lands, by destroying them utterly: and
shall you be delivered?
12 Have the elohim of the nations delivered them whom
my ahvot have destroyed; as Gozan, and Charan, and
Rezeph, and the children of Aden that were in Thelasar?
13 Where is the melech of Hamath, and the melech of
Arpad, and the melech of the city of Sefarvaim, of Hena,
and Ivah?
14 And Hizqiyahu received the letter from the hand of the
messengers, and read it: and Hizqiyahu went up into the
Bayit of vuvh, and spread it before vuvh.
15 And Hizqiyahu made tefillah before vuvh, and said, O
vuvh Elohim of Yisrael, who dwells between the
cheruvim, You are the Elohim, even You alone, of all the
malchutim of the earth: You have made the shamayim
and earth.
16 vuvh, incline Your ear, and listen: open, vuvh, Your
eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sancheriv, which he
has sent to reproach the living Elohim.
17 Of an emet, vuvh, the melechim of Ashshur have
destroyed the nations and their lands,
18 And have cast their elohim into the fire: for they were
no elohim, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone:
therefore they have destroyed them.
19 Now therefore, O vuvh our Elohim, I beg You, save us
out of his hand, that all the malchutim of the earth may
know that You are vuvh Elohim, even You alone.
20 Then Yeshayahu the son of Amotz sent to Hizqiyahu,
saying, This says vuvh Elohim of Yisrael, That which you
have made tefillah to Me against Sancheriv melech of
Ashshur I have heard.
21 This is the word that vuvh has spoken concerning him;
The virgin the daughter of Tzion has despised you, and
laughed you to scorn; the daughter of Yahrushalayim has
shaken her head at you.
22 Whom have you reproached and blasphemed? And
against whom have you exalted your voice, and lifted up
your eyes on high? Even against the Kadosh-One of
Yisrael.
23 By the messengers you have reproached vuvh, and

cypress eytzim: and I will enter into the lodgings of his
borders, and into the forest of Carmel.
24 I have dug and drunk strange mayim, and with the sole
of my feet have I dried up all the great rivers.
25 Have you 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 you should lay waste fortified
cities into ruinous heaps.
26 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 grass blasted before it is grown up.
27 But I know your sitting down, and your going out, and
your coming in, and your rage against Me.
28 Because your rage against Me and your tumult is
come up into My ears, therefore I will put My hook in
your nose, and My bridle in your lips, and I will turn you
back by the derech by which you came.
29 And this shall be an ot to you, You shall eat this year
such things as grow of themselves, and in the second year
that which springs of the same; and in the third year sow,
and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruits of it.
30 And the remnant that is escaped from Beit Yahudah
shall yet again take root downward, and bear fruit
upward.
31 For out of Yahrushalayim shall go forth a remnant,
and they that escape out of Har Tzion: the zeal of vuvh
tzevaoth shall do this.
32 Therefore this says vuvh concerning the melech of
Ashshur, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an
arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a
bank against it.
33 By the derech that he came, by the same derech shall
he return, and shall not come into this city, says vuvh.
34 For I will defend this city, to save it, for My own sake,
and for My eved Dawid's sake.
35 And it came to pass that night; that the heavenly
malach of vuvh went out, and killed in the camp of the
Ashurim one hundred eighty five thousand men: and
when they arose early in the morning, see, they were all
dead corpses.
36 So Sancheriv melech of Ashshur departed, and went
and returned, and dwelt at Ninveh.
37 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the
bayit of Nisroch his elohim, that Adram-Melech and
Sharezer his sons killed him with the sword: and they
escaped into the land of Armenia. And Esar-Haddon his
son reigned in his place.
20
In those days was Hizqiyahu sick and near death.
And the navi Yeshayahu the son of Amotz came to him,
and said to him, This says vuvh, Set your bayit in order;
for you shall die, and not live.
2 Then he turned his face to the wall, and made tefillah to
vuvh, saying,
3 I beg You, O vuvh, remember now how I have had my
halacha before You in emet and with a perfect lev, and
have done that which is tov in Your sight. And Hizqiyahu
wept heavily.
4 And it came to pass, before Yeshayahu had gone out
into the inner court, that the word of vuvh came to him,
saying,
