1When King Hezekiah caught wind of it, he ripped his fit, threw on some sackcloth, and popped off to the Lord's pad.

2He sent Eliakim, the household boss, Shebna the scribe, and the sackcloth squad to Isaiah the prophet, son of Amoz.

3They were like, "Hezekiah said, today’s a whole vibe of trouble and shade, ‘cause the kids are ready to be born but can’t pop off."

4Maybe the Lord your God will hear Rabshakeh's words, the Assyrian king’s hype man dissing the living God, and will call out the tea that He’s heard: so just lift up your prayers for the squad that’s left.

5So, Hezekiah's crew rolled up to Isaiah.

6Isaiah said, "Tell your boss, the Lord's got you, don’t trip on what you heard from the Assyrian squad dissing me."

7For real, I’m sending some drama his way, he’ll catch a rumor and bounce back to his turf; I’ll make sure he gets taken down by his own sword over there.

8So Rabshakeh bounced back and saw the Assyrian king ready to throw down against Libnah, ‘cause he heard he dipped from Lachish.

9And he got the scoop about Tirhakah, king of Ethiopia, rolling out to start some beef with you. When he heard, he shot messages to Hezekiah, saying,

10"Tell Hezekiah, king of Judah, don’t let your God, who you’re vibing with, play you, saying Jerusalem won’t fall into the hands of the Assyrian king."

11Yo, you've seen how the Assyrian kings totally wrecked all the lands, right? You think you’re gonna escape that?

12Did the gods of those nations save them when my fam wiped them out, like Gozan, Haran, and Rezeph, and the Eden crew in Telassar?

13Where the heck is the king of Hamath, the king of Arphad, and the king of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?

14Hezekiah got the letter from the messengers and read it, then he went to the Lord’s house and laid it out like, "Check this."

15And Hezekiah was like, "Yo, Lord, listen up!"

16O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, chillin' between the cherubim, you’re the one and only God of all the kingdoms on Earth: you made heaven and Earth, no cap.

17Turn your ear, O Lord, and hear; open your eyes, O Lord, and see what's poppin': hear all the words from Sennacherib, who’s coming for the living God.

18For real, Lord, the kings of Assyria have straight-up destroyed all the nations and their lands, fr.

19They tossed their gods into the fire, but those were just fake, made by human hands, wood and stone, so they got wrecked.

20So now, O Lord our God, save us from his grip, so all the kingdoms of the Earth will know you’re the Lord, the one and only.

21So Isaiah, Amoz's kid, hit up Hezekiah, saying, "Yo, the Lord God of Israel is saying, since you prayed against Sennacherib, the Assyrian king:"

22This is what the Lord spilled about him; the virgin daughter of Zion is lowkey roasting you, and Jerusalem's daughter is like, "LOL, nah."

23Who you think you’re coming for, dissing and flexing? Against the Holy One of Israel, for real?

24You’ve been throwing shade at the Lord through your crew, saying, "I’m rolling up with my chariots to the highest peaks, ready to chop down the best trees, periodt."

25I've dug and sipped water; with my kicks, I’ve dried up all the rivers where they’re trapped, no cap.

26Didn't you hear how I’ve been doing this since way back? I made it happen so you could turn strong cities into ruins, fr.

27So their peeps were weak, shook, and confused; they were like grass in the field, just chilling and getting wrecked.

28But I know where you chill, how you roll out, and how you're coming at me with that anger.

29Since your rage is loud in my ears, I’m gonna put a hook in your nose and a bridle on your lips, then send you back the way you came, bet.

30And here’s the deal, you’ll eat what grows on its own this year; next year, too; and in the third year, plant your vineyards and enjoy that fruit, it’s gonna be lit.

31The squad that bounced from Judah is gonna dig down deep and grow up strong, no cap.

32A remnant's gonna rise up from Jerusalem, escaping from mount Zion, and the Lord's hype will make it happen.

33So the Lord’s like, “Listen up, Assyria's king ain't stepping foot in this city, no arrows, no shields, nada.”

34He’s gonna bounce back the same way he came, not entering this city, says the Lord, periodt.

35I'm backing this city to save it for my own rep and for my dude David, fr.

36Then the angel of the Lord popped off and took out 185,000 Assyrians; when they woke up in the morning, it was all dead vibes.

37So Sennacherib, king of Assyria, dipped and went back to chill in Nineveh.

38While he was worshipping in the house of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer went savage on him with the sword; they bounced to Armenia, and Esar-haddon, his son, took over.

1And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord.

2And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.

3And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.

4It 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.

5So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

6And 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.

7Behold, 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.

8So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.

9And 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,

10Thus 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.

11Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?

12Have 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?

13Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?

14And 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.

15And Hezekiah prayed unto the Lord, saying,

16O 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.

17Incline 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.

18Of a truth, Lord, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries,

19And 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.

20Now 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.

21Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria:

22This is the word which the Lord hath spoken concerning him; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.

23Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.

24By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and hast said, By the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the height of his border, and the forest of his Carmel.

25I have digged, and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.

26Hast thou not heard long ago, how I have done it; and of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste defenced cities into ruinous heaps.

27Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.

28But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.

29Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.

30And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such as groweth of itself; and the second year that which springeth of the same: and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.

31And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:

32For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do this.

33Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it.

34By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the Lord.

35For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.

36Then the angel of the Lord went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.

37So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.

38And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esar–haddon his son reigned in his stead.
