23 Cui exprobrasti et quem blasphemasti? Et super quem exaltasti vocem et levasti altitudinem oculorum tuorum? Contra Sanctum Israel!	23 Whom have you insulted, whom did you blaspheme? Against whom raised your voice and lifted yourhaughty eyes? Against the Holy One of Israel.
24 In manu servorum tuorum exprobrasti Domino et dixisti: “In multitudine quadrigarum mearum ego ascendi altitudinem montium, iuga Libani; et succidi excelsa cedrorum eius et electas abietes illius et introivi altitudinem summitatis eius, silvam condensam.	24 Through your minions you have insulted the Lord, thinking: With my many chariots I have climbed themountain-tops, the utmost peaks of Lebanon. I have fel ed its mighty cedars, its finest cypresses, have reachedits furthest peak, its forest garden.
25 Ego fodi et bibi aquam alienam et exsiccavi vestigio pedis mei omnes rivos Aegypti”.	25 Yes, I have dug and drunk of foreign waters; under the soles of my feet I have dried up all Egypt'srivers.
26 Numquid non audisti? A saeculo feci illud; a diebus antiquis ego plasmavi illud et nunc adduxi, ut fiat in eradicationem, in lapides eversos civitates munitae.	26 Do you hear? Long ago I prepared this, from days of old I actual y planned it, now I carry it out. Youwere to lay walled cities in heaps of ruins;
27 Habitatores earum breviata manu contremuerunt et confusi sunt; facti sunt sicut fenum agri et gramen viride et herba tectorum, quae exaruit a facie austri.	27 that was why their inhabitants, feeble of hand, were dismayed and discomfited, were weak as grass,were frail as plants, were like grass of housetop and meadow under the east wind.
28 Sessionem tuam et egressum tuum et introitum tuum cognovi et insaniam tuam contra me.	28 But whether you stand up or sit down, whether you go out or come in, I know it (and how you raveagainst me).
29 Cum fureris adversum me, et superbia tua ascenderit in aures meas, ponam circulum in naribus tuis et frenum in labiis tuis et reducam te in viam, per quam venisti.	29 Because you have raved against me and your arrogance has reached my ears, I shal put a hookthrough your nostrils and a muzzle on your lips, and make you return by the road by which you came.
30 Tibi autem hoc erit signum: Comedantur hoc anno, quae colligi poterunt, et in anno secundo, quae sponte nascuntur; in anno autem tertio seminate et metite et plantate vineas et comedite fructum earum.	30 And this will be the sign for you: This year wil be eaten the self-sown grain, next year what sprouts inthe fallow; but in the third year sow and reap, plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
31 Et mittet id, quod salvatum fuerit de domo Iudae, quod reliquum est, radicem deorsum et faciet fructum sursum.	31 The surviving remnant of the House of Judah wil bring forth new roots below and fruits above;
32 Quia de Ierusalem exibit residuum, et, quod salvum fuerit, de monte Sion. Zelus Domini exercituum faciet istud.	32 for a remnant wil issue from Jerusalem, and survivors from Mount Zion. Yahweh Sabaoth's jealouslove wil accomplish this." '
33 Propterea haec dicit Dominus de rege Assyriorum: Non introibit civitatem hanc et non iaciet ibi sagittam et non opponet ei clipeum et non mittet contra eam aggerem.	33 'This, then, is what Yahweh says about the king of Assyria: He wil not enter this city, wil shoot noarrow at it, confront it with no shield, throw up no earthwork against it.
34 In via, qua venit, per eam revertetur, et civitatem hanc non ingredietur, dicit Dominus.	34 By the road by which he came, by that he wil return; he wil not enter this city, declares Yahweh.
35 Et protegam civitatem istam, ut salvem eam propter me et propter David servum meum ”.	35 I shal protect this city and save it for my sake and my servant David's sake.'
36 Egressus est autem angelus Domini et percussit in castris Assyriorum centumoctoginta quinque milia; et surrexerunt mane, et ecce omnes illi cadaveramortuorum.	36 That same night the angel of Yahweh went out and struck down a hundred and eighty-five thousandmen in the Assyrian camp. In the early morning when it was time to get up, there they lay, so many corpses.
37 Et egressus est et abiit; et reversus est Sennacherib rex Assyriorum ethabitavit in Nineve.	37 Sennacherib struck camp and left; he returned home and stayed in Nineveh.
38 Et factum est, cum adoraret in templo Nesroch dei sui,Adramelech et Sarasar filii eius percusserunt eum gladio fugeruntque in terramArarat. Et regnavit Asarhaddon filius eius pro eo.	38 One day when he was worshipping in the temple of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech andSharezer struck him down with the sword and escaped into the territory of Ararat. His son Esarhaddonsucceeded him.
