Contextual Overview

20 Isaiah the son of Amoz sent word to Hezekiah, saying, "The Lord, the God of Israel, says, ‘I have heard your prayer to Me about Sennacherib king of Assyria.' 21 This is the Word that the Lord has spoken against him: ‘She has hated you and made fun of you, the young daughter of Zion! She has shaken her head behind you, the daughter of Jerusalem! 22 Whom have you spoken against? Against whom have you raised your voice, and lifted your eyes in pride? Against the Holy One of Israel! 23 You have spoken against the Lord through the men you have sent. You have said, "With my many war-wagons I have come up to the tops of the mountains, to the farthest parts of Lebanon. I cut down its tall cedar trees and its best cypress trees. I went to its highest place, where its trees are close together. 24 I dug wells and drank the water of other lands. I dried up all the rivers of Egypt with the bottom of my feet." 25 'Have you not heard that I planned this long ago? From times long ago I planned it. Now I have made it happen, that you should destroy strong cities. 26 That is why those who lived there did not have much strength. They were troubled and put to shame. They were like the plants of the field and the green grass. They were like grass on the roofs, killed by the sun before it is grown. 27 But I know when you sit down, go out, and come in. And I know how you speak in anger against Me. 28 You have spoken against Me in your anger and pride, and I have heard it. So I will put My hook in your nose, and My bit in your mouth. And I will have you return by the way you came. 29 'This will be the special thing for you to see: This year you will eat what grows of itself. In the second year you will eat what grows of the same. Then in the third year, you will plant seeds and gather food. You will plant vines and eat their fruit.
