Tell the righteous that it will go well for them,

for they will eat the fruit of their labor.

Then I said:

Woe is me for I am ruined[fn]

because I am a man of unclean lips

and live among a people of unclean lips,

and because my eyes have seen the King,

the LORD of Armies.

He touched my mouth with it and said:

Now that this has touched your lips,

your iniquity is removed

and your sin is atoned for.

Then I said, “Until when, Lord? ” And he replied:

Until cities lie in ruins without inhabitants,

houses are without people,

the land is ruined and desolate,

The LORD said to Isaiah, “Go out with your son Shear-jashub[fn] to meet Ahaz at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, by the road to the Launderer’s Field.

But Ahaz replied, “I will not ask. I will not test the LORD.”

Then the LORD said to me, “Take a large piece of parchment[fn] and write on it with an ordinary pen:[fn] Maher-shalal-hash-baz.[fn]

I was then intimate with the prophetess, and she conceived and gave birth to a son. The LORD said to me, “Name him Maher-shalal-hash-baz,

Do not call everything a conspiracy

that these people say is a conspiracy.

Do not fear what they fear;

do not be terrified.

When they say to you, “Inquire of the mediums and the spiritists who chirp and mutter,” shouldn’t a people inquire of their God?[fn] Should they inquire of the dead on behalf of the living?

For he says,

“Aren’t all my commanders kings?

For he said:

I have done this by my own strength

and wisdom, for I am clever.

I abolished the borders of nations

and plundered their treasures;

like a mighty warrior, I subjugated the inhabitants.[fn]

On that day you will say:

“I will give thanks to you, LORD,

although you were angry with me.

Your anger has turned away,

and you have comforted me.

and on that day you will say,

“Give thanks to the LORD; proclaim his name!

Make his works known among the peoples.

Declare that his name is exalted.

you will sing this song of contempt about the king of Babylon and say:

How the oppressor has quieted down,

and how the raging[fn] has become quiet!

You said to yourself,

“I will ascend to the heavens;

I will set up my throne

above the stars of God.

I will sit on the mount of the gods’ assembly,

in the remotest parts of the North.[fn]

For the LORD said to me:

I will quietly look out from my place,

like shimmering heat in sunshine,

like a rain cloud in harvest heat.

Where then are your wise men?

Let them tell you and reveal

what the LORD of Armies has planned against Egypt.

the LORD said, “As my servant Isaiah has gone stripped and barefoot three years as a sign and omen against Egypt and Cush,

For the Lord has said to me,

“Go, post a lookout;

let him report what he sees.

Then the lookout[fn] reported,

“Lord, I stand on the watchtower all day,

and I stay at my post all night.

For the Lord said this to me: “Within one year, as a hired worker counts years, all the glory of Kedar will be gone.

Therefore I said,

“Look away from me! Let me weep bitterly!

Do not try to comfort me

about the destruction of my dear[fn] people.”

The Lord GOD of Armies said, “Go to Shebna, that steward who is in charge of the palace, and say to him:

Be ashamed, Sidon, the stronghold of the sea,

for the sea has spoken:

“I have not been in labor or given birth.

I have not raised young men

or brought up young women.”

For you said, “We have made a covenant with Death,

and we have an agreement with Sheol;

when the overwhelming catastrophe[fn] passes through,

it will not touch us,

because we have made falsehood our refuge

and have hidden behind treachery.”

The Lord said:

These people approach me with their speeches

to honor me with lip-service,[fn]

yet their hearts are far from me,

and human rules direct their worship of me.[fn]

You say, “No!

We will escape on horses” —

therefore you will escape! —

and, “We will ride on fast horses” —

but those who pursue you will be faster.

For this is what the LORD said to me:

As a lion or young lion growls over its prey

when a band of shepherds is called out against it,

and it is not terrified by their shouting

or subdued by their noise,

so the LORD of Armies will come down

to fight on Mount Zion

and on its hill.

A fool will no longer be called a noble,

nor a scoundrel said to be important.

and none there will say, “I am sick.”

The people who dwell there

will be forgiven their iniquity.

The royal spokesman said to them, “Tell Hezekiah:

The great king, the king of Assyria, says this: What are you relying on?

Then Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah said to the royal spokesman, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, since we understand it. Don’t speak to us in Hebrew[fn] within earshot of the people who are on the wall.”

They said to him, “This is what Hezekiah says: ‘Today is a day of distress, rebuke, and disgrace. It is as if children have come to the point of birth, and there is no strength to deliver them.

who said to them, “Tell your master, ‘The LORD says this: Don’t be afraid because of the words you have heard, with which the king of Assyria’s attendants have blasphemed me.

Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent a message to Hezekiah: “The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Because you prayed to me about King Sennacherib of Assyria,

“You have mocked the Lord through your servants.

You have said, “With my many chariots

I have gone up to the heights of the mountains,

to the far recesses of Lebanon.

I cut down its tallest cedars,

its choice cypress trees.

I came to its distant heights,

its densest forest.

In those days Hezekiah became terminally ill. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz came and said to him, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Set your house in order, for you are about to die; you will not recover.’ ”[fn]

“Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘This is what the LORD God of your ancestor David says: I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Look, I am going to add fifteen years to your life.[fn]

I said: In the prime[fn] of my life

I must go to the gates of Sheol;

I am deprived of the rest of my years.

Now Isaiah had said, “Let them take a lump of pressed figs and apply it to his infected skin, so that he may recover.”
