Truly, O Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations and their lands,

and 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.

Whom have you mocked and blasphemed? And against whom have you raised your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? Even against the Holy One of Israel.

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

And their inhabitants had little power; being dismayed and ashamed. They were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and the standing grain before the field.

Because your raging against Me, and your arrogance has come up into My ears, therefore I will put My hook in your nose, and My bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way from which you came.

They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them; they who are makers of idols shall go into disgrace together.

But Israel shall be saved in Jehovah with an everlasting salvation. You shall not be ashamed nor humiliated to everlasting eternity.

And Pharaoh said, Who is Jehovah, that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I do not know Jehovah; neither will I let Israel go.

Whom have you reproached and blasphemed? Against whom have you raised your voice, and lifted up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel!

I have dug and drunk strange waters, and with the soles of my feet I have dried up all the rivers of Egypt.

Therefore their inhabitants were short handed; they were shattered and put to shame; they were as the grass of the field and the green herb, as the grass on the housetops and grain blighted before it is grown.

Because your rage against Me and your arrogance have come up into My ears, therefore I will put my hook in your nose and My bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way which you have come.

And the remnant who have escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.

Therefore thus says Jehovah concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor build a siege mound against it.

For I have defended this city, to save it for My own sake and for My servant David's sake.

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

Now therefore, do not let Hezekiah deceive you nor entice you like this, and do not believe him; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand or the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you out of my hand.

And they spoke against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the peoples of the lands; the work of men's hands.

For he stretches out his hand against the Mighty God, and acts defiantly against the Almighty,

running with stiff neck against Him with his thick, embossed shield.

Have you an arm like the Mighty God? Or can you thunder with a voice like His?

Scatter abroad the outburst of your anger; look upon everyone who is proud, and humiliate him.

These things you have done, and I have kept silent; you thought that I was like yourself; but I will rebuke you, and set in order before your eyes.

They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongues walk through the earth.

Now if you are ready, at the time you hear the sound of the horn, the pipe, zither, the lyre, harp, and bagpipe, and all kinds of music, fall down and prostrate yourselves before the image which I have made. But if you do not prostrate yourselves, in that moment you shall be thrown into the middle of a burning fiery furnace. And who is that god who shall deliver you out of my hand?
