Contextual Overview

20Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent a message to Hezekiah: “The Lord, the God of Israel says, ‘I have heard your prayer to me about King Sennacherib of Assyria.’ 21This is the word the Lord has spoken against him: 22Who is it you mocked and blasphemed?Against whom have you raised your voiceand lifted your eyes in pride?Against the Holy One of Israel! 23You have mocked the Lord through your messengers.You have said, ‘With my many chariotsI 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 farthest outpost,its densest forest. 24I dug wellsand drank water in foreign lands.I dried up all the streams of Egyptwith the soles of my feet.’ 25Have you not heard?I designed it long ago;I planned it in days gone by.I have now brought it to pass,and you have crushed fortified citiesinto piles of rubble. 26Their inhabitants have become powerless,dismayed, and ashamed.They are plants of the field,tender grass,grass on the rooftops,blasted by the east wind. 27But I know your sitting down,your going out and your coming in,and your raging against me. 28Because your raging against meand your arrogance have reached my ears,I will put my hook in your noseand my bit in your mouth;I will make you go backthe way you came. 29“This will be the sign for you: This year you will eat what grows on its own, and in the second year what grows from that. But in the third year sow and reap, plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
