19:20 Yahweh’s response to Hizkiyyah via Yeshayah
20 Then Amots’s son Yeshayah (Isaiah) sent this message to Hizkiyyah: Israel’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 Israel’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 Hizkiyyah:
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.
