Bible. Isaiah
23:037:004 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.
23:037:005 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
23:037:006 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.
23:037:007 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.
23:037:008 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring
against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from
Lachish.
23:037:009 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,
23:037:010 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.
23:037:011 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to
all lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be
delivered?
23:037:012 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?
23:037:013 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and the
king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?
23:037:014 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.
23:037:015 And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD, saying,
23:037:016 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.
23:037:017 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.
23:037:018 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the
nations, and their countries,
23:037:019 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.
23:037:020 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.
