2.	and sent Elyaqim, who was over the household, and Shebnah the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covering themselves with sackcloth, to Yeshayahu the prophet, the son of Amots.
3.	And they said to him, 'Thus said Hizqiyahu, 'This day is a day of distress and rebuke and scorn, for the children have come to birth, but there is no strength to bring forth.
4.	'It could be that YHWH your Elohim does hear the words of the Rabshaqeh, whom his master the sovereign of Ashshur has sent to reproach the living Elohim, and shall rebuke the words which YHWH your Elohim has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.''
5.	So the servants of Sovereign Hizqiyahu came to Yeshayahu,

10.	'Speak to Hizqiyahu the sovereign of Yehudah, saying, 'Do not let your Elohim in whom you trust deceive you, saying, 'Yerushalayim is not given into the hand of the sovereign of Ashshur.'
11.	'See, you have heard what the sovereigns of Ashshur have done to all lands by putting them under the ban. And are you going to be delivered?

21.	Then Yeshayahu son of Amots sent to Hizqiyahu, saying, `Thus said YHWH Elohim of Yisra`el, `Because you have prayed to Me against Sanherib sovereign of Ashshur,
22.	this is the word which YHWH has spoken concerning him, 'The maiden, the daughter of Tsiyon, has despised you, mocked you; the daughter of Yerushalayim has shaken her head behind you!
23.	'Whom have you reproached and reviled? And against whom have you raised your voice, and lifted up your eyes in pride? Against the Set-apart One of Yisra'el!
24.	'By the hand of your servants you have reproached YHWH, and said, 'With my many chariots I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the limits of Lebanon. And I cut down its tall cedars and its choice cypress trees. And I enter its farthest height, its thickest forest.
25.	'I have dug and drunk water, and with the soles of my feet I have dried up all the streams of defence.'
26.	'Have you not heard long ago how I made it, from days of old, that I formed it? Now I have brought it about, that you should be for crushing walled cities into heaps of ruins.
27.	'And their inhabitants were powerless, they were overthrown and put to shame. They were as the grass of the field and as the green plant, as the grass on the house-tops and as grain blighted before it is grown.
28.	'But I know your sitting down, and your going out and your coming in, and your rage against Me.
29.	'Because your rage against Me and your pride have come up to My ears, I shall put My hook in your nose and My bridle in your lips, and I shall turn you back by the way which you came.
30.	'And this shall be the sign for you: This year you eat such as grows of itself, and the second year what springs from that, and in the third year sow and reap, plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
31.	'And the remnant who have escaped of the house of Yehudah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
32.	'For out of Yerushalayim comes forth a remnant, and those who escape from Mount Tsiyon - the ardour of YHWH of hosts does this.

34.	'By the way that he came, by the same he turns back. And into this city he does not come,' declares YHWH.
35.	'And I shall defend this city, to save it for My own sake and for the sake of My servant Dawid.''
