Isaiah 37:1-7 When Hezekiah heard that, he rent his clothes, put on sackcloth, and went in to the temple of the LORD.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ When Hezekiah heard that, he rent his clothes, put on sackcloth, and went in to the temple of the LORD. ² But he sent Eliakim the President, Shebna the Scribe, with the eldest priests clothed in sackcloth, unto the Prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, ³ and they said unto him, "Thus sayeth Hezekiah, 'This is the day of trouble, of plague, and of wrath: like as when a child cometh to the birth, but the woman hath no power to bring it forth. ⁴ The LORD thy God, no doubt, hath well considered the words of Rabshakeh, whom his lord the king of the Assyrians hath sent, to defy and blaspheme the living God: with such words as the LORD thy God hath heard right well. And therefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that yet are left.'" ⁵ So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah, ⁶ and Isaiah gave them this answer, "Say thus unto your lord, 'Thus sayeth the LORD: Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the king of the Assyrians' servants have blasphemed me. ⁷ Behold, I will raise up a wind against him, and he shall hear a rumor; and as soon as he heareth it, he shall go again into his country. There will I destroy him with the sword.'"
