你们对犹大王希西家如此说，不要听你所倚靠的神欺哄你，说，耶路撒冷必不交在亚述王的手中。
Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
你总听说亚述诸王向列国所行的，乃是尽行灭绝，难道你还能得救吗。
Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?
希西家从使者手里接过书信来，看完了，就上耶和华的殿，将书信在耶和华面前晒开。
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.
希西家向耶和华祷告说，
And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD, saying,
坐在二基路伯上万军之耶和华以色列的神阿，你，惟有你，是天下万国的神。你曾创造天地。
O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.
耶和华阿，求你侧耳而听。耶和华阿，求你睁眼而看。要听西拿基立的一切话，他是打发使者来辱骂永生的神的。
Incline thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open thine eyes, O LORD, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent to reproach the living God.
耶和华阿，亚述诸王果然使列国，和列国之地变为荒凉。
Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries,
耶和华我们的神阿，现在求你救我们脱离亚述王的手，使天下万国都知道惟有你是耶和华。
Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD, even thou only.
亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚，就打发人去见希西家说，耶和华以色列的神如此说，你既然求我攻击亚述王西拿基立，
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria:
你辱骂谁，亵渎谁，扬起声来，高举眼目攻击谁呢，乃是攻击以色列的圣者。
Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.
