thus says the Lord of hosts, This counsel shall not abide, nor come to pass.

20
You have said, (but [they are] mere words) [I have] counsel and strength for war. Now then, in whom do you trust, that you have revolted from me?

3
And it came to pass, when he was established over his kingdom, in the first month, he opened the doors of the house of the Lord, and repaired them.
4
And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and put them on the east side,
5
and said to them, Hear, you Levites: Now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and cast out the impurity from the holy places.
6
For our fathers have revolted, and done that which was evil before the Lord our God, and have forsaken Him, and have turned away their face from the tabernacle of the Lord, and have turned [their] back.
7
And they have shut up the doors of the temple, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense, and have not offered whole burnt offerings in the holy [place] to the God of Israel.
8
And the Lord was very angry with Judah and Jerusalem, and made them an astonishment, and a desolation, and a hissing, as you see with your eyes.
9
And behold, your fathers have been smitten with the sword, and your sons and your daughters and your wives are in captivity in a land not their own, as it is even now.
10
Therefore it is now in my heart to make a covenant, a covenant with the Lord God of Israel, that He may turn away His fierce wrath from us.

14
and of the sons of Heman: Jeiel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun: Shemaiah and Uzziel.
15
And they gathered their brethren, and they purified themselves according to the king's command by the order of the Lord, to purify the house of the Lord.
16
And the priests entered into the house of the Lord, to purify [it], and they cast out all the uncleanness that was found in the house of the Lord, even into the court of the house of the Lord. And the Levites received [it] to cast into the Brook of Kidron outside.
17
And [Hezekiah] began on the first day, on the new moon of the first month, to purify, and on the eighth day of the month they entered into the temple of the Lord. And they purified the house of the Lord in eight days. And on the thirteenth day of the first month they finished [the work].
18
And they went in to King Hezekiah, and said, We have purified all the things in the house of the Lord, the altar of whole burnt offering, and its vessels, and the table of showbread, and its vessels;
19
and all the vessels which King Ahaz polluted in his reign, in his apostasy, we have prepared and purified; behold, they are before the altar of the Lord.
20
And King Hezekiah rose early in the morning, and gathered the chief men of the city, and went up to the house of the Lord.
21
And he brought seven calves, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven kids of goats for a sin-offering, for the kingdom, and for the holy things, and for Israel. And he told the priests, the sons of Aaron, to go up to the altar of the Lord.
22
And they killed the calves, and the priests received the blood, and poured it on the altar. And they killed the rams, and poured the blood upon the altar. Also they killed the lambs, and poured the blood on the altar.
23
And they brought the goats for a sin offering before the king and the congregation, and laid their hands upon them.
24
And the priests killed them, and offered their blood as a propitiation on the altar; and they made atonement for all Israel; for the king said, The whole burnt offering, and the sin offering [are] for all Israel.
25
And he stationed the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, and lutes, and harps, according to the commandment of King David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet; for by the commandment of the Lord the order [was] in the hand of the prophets.
26
And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
27
And Hezekiah told [them] to offer up the whole burnt offering on the altar. And when they began to offer the whole burnt offering, they began to sing to the Lord, and the trumpets [accompanied] the instruments of David king of Israel.
28
And all the congregation worshipped, and the psalm-singers [were] singing, and the trumpets sounding, until the whole burnt sacrifice had been completely offered.
29
And when they had done offering [it], the king and all that were present bowed down and worshipped.
30
And King Hezekiah and the princes told the Levites to sing hymns to the Lord in the words of David, and of Asaph the prophet. And they sang hymns with gladness, and fell down and worshipped.
31
Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now [that] you have consecrated yourselves to the Lord, bring near and offer sacrifices of praise in the house of the Lord. And the congregation brought sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the Lord; and everyone who was ready in his heart [brought] whole burnt offerings.
32
And the number of the whole burnt offerings which the congregation brought, was seventy calves, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these [were] for a whole burnt offering to the Lord.
Isaiah 36:1-39
1
Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of the reign of Hezekiah, [that] Sennacherib, king of the Assyrians, came up against the strong cities of Judah, and took them.
2
And the king of the Assyrians sent Rabshakeh out of Lachish to Jerusalem, to King Hezekiah with a large force; and he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the way of the fuller's field.
3
And there went forth to him Eliakim the steward, the [son] of Hilkiah, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the [son] of Asaph, the recorder.
4
And Rabshakeh said to them, Say to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of the Assyrians, Why are you secure?
5
Is war carried on with counsel and [mere] words of the lips? And now on whom do you trust, that you rebel against me?
6
Behold, you trust on this bruised staff of reed, on Egypt; [as soon] as a man leans upon it, it shall go into his hand, and pierce it; so is Pharaoh king of Egypt and all that trust in him.
7
But if you say, We trust in the Lord our God;
8
yet now make an agreement with my lord the king of the Assyrians, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you shall be able to set riders upon them.
9
And how can you [then] turn to the face of the satraps? They that trust on the Egyptians for horse and rider are [our] servants.
10
And now, Have we come up against this land to fight against it without the Lord? The Lord said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
11
Then Eliakim, Shebna and Joah said to him, Speak to your servants in the Syrian tongue; for we understand [it]; and speak not to us in the Jewish tongue; and why do you speak in the ears of the men on the wall?
12
And Rabshakeh said to them, Has my lord sent me to your master or to you, to speak these words? [Has he] not [sent] me to the men that sit on the wall, that they may eat dung, and drink [their] water together with you?
13
And Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jewish language, and said, Hear the words of the great king, the king of the Assyrians:
14
Thus says the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you with words; he will not be able to deliver you.
15
And let not Hezekiah say to you, That God will deliver you, and this city will not at all be delivered into the hand of the king of the Assyrians.
16
Hearken not to Hezekiah; thus says the king of the Assyrians: If you wish to be blessed, come out to me; and you shall all eat [of] his own vine and his [own] fig trees, and you shall drink water out of your own cisterns;
17
until I come and take you to a land, like your own land, a land of grain and wine, and bread and vineyards.
18
Let not Hezekiah deceive you, saying, God will deliver you. Have the gods of the nations delivered each one his own land out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians?
19
Where is the god of Hamath, and Arpad? And where is the god of Sepharvaim? Have they been able to deliver Samaria out of my hand?
20
Which is the god of all these nations that has delivered his land out of my hand, that God should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
21
And they were silent, and none answered him a word; because the king had commanded that none should answer.
22
And Eliakim the [son] of Hilkiah, the steward, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the [son] of Asaph the recorder, came in to Hezekiah, having torn their clothes, and they reported to him the words of Rabshakeh.
