This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
21 Then Amots’ son Yeshayah sent this message to King Hezkiyah: “Yisrael’s god Yahweh says that because you prayed to me about the Assyrian King Sennacherib, 22 then this is what Yahweh pronounces about him:
Tsiyyon’s (Zion’s) virgin daughter despises you—she scorns you.
Yerushalem’s daughter shakes her head at you.
23 Who is it that you’ve defied and insulted?
Who did you raise your voice against
and arrogantly challenged?
It was Yisrael’s holy one.
24 You’ve defied my master by sending your servants,
and you’ve said that you’ve gone to the tops of the mountains with your chariots—
up to the remotest parts of Lebanon to cut down its tallest cedars and best pines.
You’ve said that you’ll enter the highest parts of its forest plantation.
25 It’s me who has dug and drunk water,
and dried up all of Egypt’s canals with the soles of my feet.
26 “Haven’t you heard that I determined it from long ago.
≈ I planned it since ancient times and now I’m making it happen,
→ and you’re about to make fortified cities into desolate heaps of ruins.
27 Their powerless inhabitants are dismayed and ashamed.
They come and go like the vegetation in the countryside,
and like how a grass roof doesn’t stay green for long
and like a field as the grain crop grows.
28 “I know when you sit down and when you go in or out,
and I know your raging against me.
29 Because of that raging against me,
≈ and your arrogance that’s reached my ears,
I’ll put my hook in your nose
≈ and my bit in your mouth,
and I’ll send you home on the same road that you came here on.”
30 So this will be the sign for you Hezkiyah:
This year you’ll eat wild crops,
and next year you’ll eat the self-seeded growth.
But in the third year you must sow and harvest,
and plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
31 The people of Yehudah who’ve remained here
will send their roots down and their fruit will grow up,
32 because a remnant will come out of Yerushalem,
≈ and survivors from Mt. Tsiyyon (Zion).
Commander-in-chief Yahweh will accomplish this through his zeal.
33 Therefore Yahweh says this about the Assyrian king:
He won’t come into this city and he won’t shoot an error here.
≈ He won’t bring a shield near it, and he won’t build ramps up against it.
34 He’ll return by the road that he came on, and he won’t enter this city.
That is Yahweh’s declaration 35 and I’ll protect this city and rescue it for my own sake and for the sake of my servant David.
20 Then Amots’s son Yeshayah (Isaiah) sent this message to Hizkiyah: Yisrael’s god Yahweh says, “Because you prayed to me concerning the Assyrian King Sanheriv, I have listened. 21 This is what Yahweh says about that king:
Tsiyyon’s daughter despises you and derides you.
≈ Yerushalem’s daughter shakes her head at you.
22 Who did you think you were teasing and insulting?
Who did you think you were shouting at?
Did you raise your eyebrows against Yisrael’s holy one?
23 You sent messengers that mocked me.
You said that you went over the highest mountains with your many chariots.
≈ That you went to the highest parts of Lebanon and harvested its tallest cedars—its best trees.
That you’ve been to the end of the inhabited world with its densest forest.
24 You said that you’ve dug wells far away and drunk their water,
yet with your own feet you dried up all of Egypt’s rivers.
25 Haven’t you heard that I made plans long ago—
that what I previously planned, I’m now making it happen?
Fortified cities will collapse into heaps of rubble.
26 Their inhabitants will be powerless—dismayed and ashamed.
They’ll be as vulnerable as plants in the countryside,
or like the grass that grows on the rooftops—
they wilt and wither before they can grow tall. DOUBLE-CHECK
27 Yes, I know when you sit down and when you go out.
When you come in and rage against me.
28 Because you’ve raged against me and your arrogance has come to my ears,
I’ll put my hook in your nose and my bit in your mouth,
and I’ll lead you back on the road that you came here on.
29 “So this will be a sign to you Hizkiyah:
This year you’ll eat what grew by itself,
and next year whatever seeded by itself,
but in the third year you’ll sow crops and plant vineyards, and eat what you harvest.
30 Yehudah’s surviving descendants will send their roots downwards and will produce fruit above,
31 because a remnant will survive Yerushalem’s siege,
≈ and Mt. Tsiyyon will have survivors
because Yahweh’s enthusiasm will make sure it happens.
32 “So this is what Yahweh says to the Assyrian king:
He won’t enter this city or shoot an arrow into it.
He won’t push a large shield towards it or make a ramp up into it.
33 He’ll return on the same road that he arrived on,
and Yahweh declares that he won’t enter this city,
34 because Yahweh will defend this city
and for the sake of his servant David.”
35 That very night, Yahweh sent an angel out to kill 185,000 warriors, so when the army got up early the next morning there were dead bodies all over the place. 36 So the Assyrian King Sanheriv pulled out and went back to live in Nineveh. 37 While he was bowing in the temple of his god Nisrok, Adrammelek and Sharezer ran him through with a sword before escaping to the Ararat region, and so his son Esarhaddon replaced him as king.
