Bible. Isaiah
23:035:007 And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty
land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where
each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
23:035:008 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be
called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over
it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though
fools, shall not err therein.
23:035:009 No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up
thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall
walk there:
23:035:010 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.
23:036:001 Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah,
that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the
defenced cities of Judah, and took them.
23:036:002 And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to
Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood
by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the
fuller's field.
23:036:003 Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah's son, which was
over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son,
the recorder.
23:036:004 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus
saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is
this wherein thou trustest?
23:036:005 I say, sayest thou, (but they are but vain words) I have
counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou trust,
that thou rebellest against me?
23:036:006 Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt;
whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce
it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him.
23:036:007 But if thou say to me, We trust in the LORD our God: is it not
he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken
away, and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship
before this altar?
23:036:008 Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, to my master the king
of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou
be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
23:036:009 How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the
least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for
chariots and for horsemen?
23:036:010 And am I now come up without the LORD against this land to
destroy it? the LORD said unto me, Go up against this land,
and destroy it.
