² Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now 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 wept sore.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And I will add unto thy days fifteen fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Now in the fourteenth fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me: that which thou puttest on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria appointed unto Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ At that time did Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the LORD, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down down like the mire of the streets.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ For it is the day of the LORD'S vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters' vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones. hailstones.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
