He said to them,“ This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your petition, says:

and said to them,“ Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your plea for mercy before him:

He said to them,“ You sent me to the Lord, the God of Israel, with your request, and this is his reply:

He said to them,“ This is what the LORD says, the God of Israel to whom you sent me to bring your petition before him:

and said to them,“ This is what the Lord says, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your plea before Him:

and said to them,“ Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your petition before Him:

and said unto them, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him:

He said to them,“ This is what the Lord says, the God of Israel to whom you sent me to bring your petition before Him:

And said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him;

Then Jeremiah said to them,“ You sent me to the LORD God of Israel to make your request known to him. Here is what he says to you:

and said to them,“ Yahweh, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your supplication before him, says:

Perhaps the Lord your God will hear everything the field commander has said. His master, the king of Assyria, has sent him to make fun of the living God. Maybe the Lord your God will punish him for what he has heard him say. So pray for the remaining people who are still alive here.’ ”

All of them said to Jeremiah the prophet,“ Please listen to our appeal. Pray to the Lord your God. Pray for all of us who are left here. Once there were many of us. But as you can see, only a few of us are left now.

Then Isaiah said to them,“ Tell your master,‘ The Lord says,“ Do not be afraid of what you have heard. The officers of the king of Assyria have spoken evil things against me.

Huldah said to them,“ The Lord is the God of Israel. He says,‘ Here is what you must tell the man who sent you to me.Tell him,“ The Lord says,‘ I am going to bring horrible trouble on this place and its people. Everything written in the book the king of Judah has read will take place.That’s because the people have deserted me. They have burned incense to other gods. They have made me very angry because of the statues of gods their hands have made. So my anger will burn like a fire against this place. And the fire of my anger will not be put out.’ ” ’The king of Judah sent you to ask the Lord for advice. Tell him,‘ The Lord is the God of Israel. He has a message for you about the things you heard. He says,“ Your heart was tender. You made yourself humble in the eyes of the Lord. You heard what I spoke against this place and its people. I said they would be under a curse. I told them they would be destroyed. You tore your royal robes and wept in front of me. And I have heard you,” announces the Lord.“ You will join the members of your family who have already died. You will be buried in peace. Your eyes will not see all the trouble I am going to bring on this place.” ’ ” Huldah’s answer was taken back to the king.

Isaiah sent a message to Hezekiah. Isaiah was the son of Amoz. Isaiah said,“ The Lord is the God of Israel. The Lord says,‘ I have heard your prayer about Sennacherib, the king of Assyria.’Here is the message the Lord has spoken against him. The Lord says,“‘ You will not win the battle over Zion. Its people hate you and make fun of you. The people of Jerusalem lift up their heads proudly as you run away.Who have you laughed at? Who have you spoken evil things against? Who have you raised your voice against? Who have you looked at so proudly? You have done it against me. I am the Holy One of Israel!Through your messengers you have dared to make fun of the Lord. And you have said,“ I have many chariots. With them I have gone to the tops of the mountains. I’ve climbed the highest mountains in Lebanon. I’ve cut down its tallest cedar trees. I’ve cut down the best of its juniper trees. I’ve reached its farthest parts. I’ve reached its finest forests.I’ve dug wells in strange lands. I’ve drunk the water from them. I’ve walked through all of Egypt’s streams. I’ve dried up every one of them.”“‘ But I, the Lord, say,“ Haven’t you heard what I have done? Long ago I arranged for you to do all of that. In days of old I planned it. Now I have made it happen. You have turned cities with high walls into piles of stone.Their people do not have any power left. They are troubled and put to shame. They are like plants in the field. They are like new green plants. They are like grass that grows on a roof. It dries up before it is completely grown.“‘ “But I know where you are. I know when you come and go. I know how very angry you are with me.You roar against me and brag. And I have heard your bragging. So I will put my hook in your nose. I will put my bit in your mouth. And I will make you go home by the same way you came.” ’ ”The Lord said,“ Hezekiah, here is a miraculous sign for you.“ This year you will eat what grows by itself. In the second year you will eat what grows from that. But in the third year you will plant your crops and gather them in. You will plant your grapevines and eat their fruit.Those who remain from the kingdom of Judah will be like plants. Once more they will put down roots and produce fruit.Out of Jerusalem will come those who remain. Out of Mount Zion will come those who survive.“ The Lord’ s great love will make sure that happens. He rules over all.“ Here is a message from me about the king of Assyria. The Lord says,“‘ The king of Assyria will not enter this city. He will not even shoot an arrow at it. He will not come near it with a shield. He will not build a ramp in order to climb over its walls.By the same way he came he will go home. He will not enter this city,’ announces the Lord.‘ I will guard this city and save it. I will do it for myself. And I will do it for my servant David.’ ”That night the angel of the Lord went into the camp of the Assyrians. He put to death 185,000 people there. The people of Jerusalem got up the next morning and looked out at the camp. There were all the dead bodies!So Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, took the army tents down. Then he left. He returned to Nineveh and stayed there.One day Sennacherib was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisrok. His sons Adrammelek and Sharezer killed him with their swords. Then they escaped to the land of Ararat. Esarhaddon became the next king after his father Sennacherib.
