CLV(i)
1 And coming is it, as King Hezekiah hears it, that he is tearing his garments, and covering himself with sackcloth, and entering the house of Yahweh."
2 And he is sending Eliakim, who is over the household, and Shebna, the scribe, and the elders of the priests, who are covering themselves with sackcloth, to Isaiah, son of Amoz, the prophet."
3 And they are saying to him, "Thus says Hezekiah, `A day of distress and correction and spurning is this day, for sons have come unto the breaking forth, yet there is no vigor to bear."
4 Perhaps Yahweh, your Elohim, will hear the words of the grand cupbearer, whom the king of Assyria, his lord, sends to reproach the living Elohim, and He will correct him, in view of the words which Yahweh, your Elohim, hears, and you will lift up a prayer to Yahweh, your Elohim, about the remnant that is being found in this city.'"
