Sennacherib's Fall

       Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent a message to Hezekiah: "This is what THE LORD, THE GOD OF ISRAEL, says: Because you have prayed to ME concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria, this is the word THE LORD has spoken against him:

       "The Virgin Daughter of Zion
          despises and mocks you.
       The Daughter of Jerusalem
          tosses her head as you flee.
       Who is it you have insulted and blasphemed?
          Against whom have you raised your voice
       and lifted your eyes in pride?
          Against THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL!
       By your messengers
          you have heaped insults on THE LORD.
       And you have said,
          'With my many chariots
       I have ascended the heights of the mountains,
          the utmost heights of Lebanon.
       I have cut down its tallest cedars,
          the choicest of its pines.
       I have reached its remotest heights,
          the finest of its forests.
       I have dug wells in foreign lands
          and drunk the water there.
       With the soles of my feet
          I have dried up all the streams of Egypt.'

       "Have you not heard?
          Long ago I ordained it.
       In days of old I planned it;
          now I have brought it to pass,
       that you have turned fortified cities
          into piles of stone.
       Their people, drained of power,
          are dismayed and put to shame.
       They are like plants in the field,
          like tender green shoots,
       like grass sprouting on the roof,
          scorched before it grows up.

       "But I know where you stay
          and when you come and go
          and how you rage against ME.
       Because you rage against ME
          and because your insolence has reached MY ears,
       I will put MY hook in your nose
          and MY bit in your mouth,
       and I will make you return
          by the way you came.

       "This will be the sign for you, O Hezekiah:

       "This year you will eat what grows by itself,
          and the second year what springs from that.
       But in the third year sow and reap,
          plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
       Once more a remnant of the house of Judah
          will take root below and bear fruit above.
       For out of Jerusalem will come a remnant,
          and out of Mount Zion a band of survivors.
       The zeal of THE LORD ALMIGHTY
          will accomplish this.

       "Therefore this is what THE LORD says concerning the king of Assyria:

       "He will not enter this city
          or shoot an arrow here.
       He will not come before it with shield
          or build a siege ramp against it.
       By the way that he came he will return;
          he will not enter this city,"
                                                        declares THE LORD.
       "I will defend this city and save it,
          for MY sake and for the sake of David MY servant!"

       Then the angel of THE LORD went out and put to death a hundred and eighty-five thousand men in the Assyrian camp. When the people got up the next morning--there were all the dead bodies! So Sennacherib king of Assyria broke camp and withdrew. He returned to Nineveh and stayed there.
       One day, while he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer cut him down with the sword, and they escaped to the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son succeeded him as king.


The Book of Isaiah: chapter 37, verses 21 - 38
