And in the fourteenth year to Hezekiah, Senherib, king of Assur, came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and he will seize them.
Wo to Assur the rod of mine anger, and that rod in their hand, my wrath.
Go and say to Hezekiah, Thus said Jehovah, the God of David thy father, I heard thy prayer; and I saw thy tears: behold, I will add to thy days fifteen years.
For this I will lament and wail; I will go stripped and naked: I will make wailing as jackals, and mourning as the daughters of the ostrich.
For her blow is incurable, for it came even to Judah; he touched even to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
