1 A kad to ču car Jezekija, razdre haljine svoje i veza oko sebe kostret, pa otide u dom Gospodnji. 2 I posla Elijakima, koji beše nad dvorom, i Somnu pisara i najstarije sveštenike obučene u kostret k Isaiji proroku, sinu Amosovom. 3 I rekoše mu: Ovako veli Jezekija: Ovo je dan nevolje i kara i ruga; jer prispeše deca do porođaja, a nema snage da se rode. 4 Da ako je čuo Gospod Bog tvoj sve što reče Ravsak, kog posla car asirski, gospodar njegov da ruži Boga Živoga i da Ga vređa rečima, koje je čuo Gospod Bog tvoj; pomoli se za ostatak koji se nalazi. 5 I dođoše k Isaiji sluge cara Jezekije. 6 I reče im Isaija: Ovako recite gospodaru svom: Ovako veli Gospod: Ne plaši se od reči koje si čuo, kojima huliše na me sluge cara asirskog. 7 Evo, ja ću pustiti na nj duh, te će čuti glas i vratiti se u svoju zemlju, i učiniću da pogine od mača u svojoj zemlji. 8 I tako, vrativši se Ravsak nađe cara asirskog gde bije Livnu, jer beše čuo da je otišao od Lahisa. 9 A on ču za Tiraku, cara huskog gde kazaše: Evo ide da se bije s tobom. Zato opet posla poslanike k Jezekiji govoreći: 10 Ovako recite Jezekiji, caru Judinom: Nemoj da te vara Bog tvoj, u kog se uzdaš govoreći: Neće se dati Jerusalim u ruke caru asirskom. 11 Eto čuo si šta su učinili carevi asirski svim zemljama potrvši ih sasvim; a ti li ćeš se izbaviti? 12 Jesu li narode koje satrše oci moji izbavili bogovi njihovi, Gosance, Harance, Resefe i sinove Edenove, koji behu u Telasaru? 13 Gde je car ematski i car arfadski i car od grada Sefarvima, od Ene i Ave? 14 A kad Jezekija primi knjigu iz ruku poslanika i pročita je, otide u dom Gospodnji, i razvi je Jezekija pred Gospodom. 15 I pomoli se Jezekija Gospodu govoreći: Gospode Bože Izrailjev, koji sediš na heruvimima, Ti si sam, Bog svim carstvima na zemlji, Ti si stvorio nebo i zemlju, 16 prigni, Gospode, uho svoje i čuj; otvori, Gospode, oči svoje i vidi; čuj reči Senahirima, koji posla da ruži Boga Živoga. 17 Istina je, Gospode, opustošili su carevi asirski one narode i zemlje njihove; 18 i pobacali su bogove njihove u oganj, jer ne behu bogovi, nego delo ruku čovečijih, drvo i kamen; zato ih potrše. 19 I zato, Gospode Bože naš, izbavi nas iz ruku njegovih, da poznadu sva carstva na zemlji da si Ti, Gospode, sam Bog. 20 Tada posla Isaija sin Amosov k Jezekiji, i poruči mu: Ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: Uslišio sam za šta si mi se molio radi Senahirima, cara asirskog. 21 Ovo je reč koju izreče Gospod za nj: Ruga ti se i podsmeva ti se devojka, kći sionska, za tobom maše glavom kći jerusalimska. 22 Koga si ružio i hulio? I na koga si podigao glas? I podigao u vis oči svoje? Na Sveca Izrailjevog. 23 Preko poslanika svojih ružio si Gospoda i rekao si: S mnoštvom kola svojih iziđoh na visoke gore, na strane livanske, i poseći ću visoke kedre njegove i lepe jele njegove, i ući ću u krajnji stan njegov, u šumu njegova Karmila. 24 Ja sam kopao i pio vodu tuđu, i isušio sam stopama svojim sve potoke gradovima. 25 Nisi li čuo da ja to odavna činim i od iskona da sam tako uredio? Sada puštam to, da prevratiš tvrde gradove u puste gomile. 26 Zato koji u njima žive iznemogoše, uplašiše se i smetoše se, postaše kao trava poljska, kao zelena travica, kao trava na krovovima, koja se suši pre nego sazri. 27 Znam sedenje tvoje, i polaženje tvoje i dolaženje tvoje znam, i kako besniš na me. 28 Jer besniš na me, i tvoja obest dođe do mojih ušiju; zato ću metnuti brnjicu svoju na nozdrve tvoje i uzdu svoju u gubicu tvoju, pa ću te odvesti natrag putem kojim si došao. 29 A tebi ovo neka bude znak: ješćete ove godine šta samo od sebe rodi, i druge godine šta opet samo od sebe rodi; a treće godine sejte i žanjite i sadite vinograde i jedite rod s njih. 30 Jer ostatak doma Judinog, što ostane, opet će pustiti žile ozdo i roditi ozgo. 31 Jer će iz Jerusalima izaći ostatak, i iz gore Siona, koji se sačuvaju. Revnost Gospoda nad vojskama učiniće to. 32 Zato ovako veli Gospod za cara asirskog: Neće ući u ovaj grad niti će baciti amo strele, neće se primaći ka njemu sa štitom, niti će iskopati opkope oko njega. 33 Vratiće se putem kojim je došao, a u grad ovaj neće ući, veli Gospod. 34 Jer ću braniti taj grad, i sačuvaću ga sebe radi i radi Davida, sluge svog. 35 I istu noć anđeo Gospodnji izađe i pobi u logoru asirskom sto i osamdeset i pet hiljada; i kad ustaše ujutru, a to sve sami mrtvaci. 36 Te se podiže Senahirim, car asirski, i otide, i vrativši se osta u Nineviji. 37 I kad se klanjaše u domu Nisroka, boga svog, Adrameleh i Sarasar sinovi njegovi ubiše ga mačem, a sami pobegoše u zemlju araratsku, i na njegovo se mesto zacari Esaradon, sin njegov.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
And to Hezekiah He saith, "I will defend this city, for mine own sake and for my servant David's sake." And to Solomon too He said, that for David's sake He rent not the kingdom during his lifetime.

… I cannot destroy them." Therefore He saith, "What, think ye that I cannot pray to my Father?" And again He speaks it humbly, in saying, "He will presently give me twelve legions of angels." For if one angel slew one hundred and eighty-five armed thousands, what need of twelve legions against a thousand men?
