Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

2 And he sent Eliakim, who was over the house, and Shebna the secretary, and the elders of the people, covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet, the son. of Amoz.

3 And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and chastisement, and contempt; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.

4 It may be the LORD thy God will hear the words of Rab- shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his lord hath sent to reproach the living God, and will chastise the words which the Lord thy God hath heard; and thou wilt lift up prayer for the remnant that is found.

5 And the servants of the king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
