“ Now therefore, our God, the great God, mighty and awesome, who keeps his covenant of love, do not let all this hardship seem trifling in your eyes— the hardship that has come on us, on our kings and leaders, on our priests and prophets, on our ancestors and all your people, from the days of the kings of Assyria until today.

“ Our God, you are the great God. You are mighty and wonderful. You keep the covenant you made with us. You show us your love. So don’t let all our suffering seem like a small thing to you. We’ve suffered greatly. So have our kings and leaders. So have our priests and prophets. Our people who lived long ago also suffered. And all your people are suffering right now. In fact, we’ve been suffering from the time of the kings of Assyria until today.

“ Now, therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps covenant and steadfast love, let not all the hardship seem little to you that has come upon us, upon our kings, our princes, our priests, our prophets, our fathers, and all your people, since the time of the kings of Assyria until this day.

“ And now, our God, the great and mighty and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of unfailing love, do not let all the hardships we have suffered seem insignificant to you. Great trouble has come upon us and upon our kings and leaders and priests and prophets and ancestors— all of your people— from the days when the kings of Assyria first triumphed over us until now.

So now, our God— the great, mighty, and awe-inspiring God who keeps his gracious covenant— do not view lightly all the hardships that have afflicted us, our kings and leaders, our priests and prophets, our ancestors and all your people, from the days of the Assyrian kings until today.

“ Now then, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps His covenant and faithfulness, Do not let all the hardship seem insignificant before You, Which has happened to us, our kings, our leaders, our priests, our prophets, our fathers, and to all Your people, From the days of the kings of Assyria to this day.

“ Now therefore, our God, The great, the mighty, and awesome God, Who keeps covenant and mercy: Do not let all the trouble seem small before You That has come upon us, Our kings and our princes, Our priests and our prophets, Our fathers and on all Your people, From the days of the kings of Assyria until this day.

Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and lovingkindness, let not all the travail seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day.

So now, our God— the great, mighty, and awe-inspiring God who keeps His gracious covenant— do not view lightly all the hardships that have afflicted us, our kings and leaders, our priests and prophets, our ancestors and all Your people, from the days of the Assyrian kings until today.

Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day.

“ So now, our God– the great, powerful, and awesome God, who keeps covenant fidelity– do not regard as inconsequential all the hardship that has befallen us– our kings, our leaders, our priests, our prophets, our ancestors, and all your people– from the days of the kings of Assyria until this very day!

Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness, don’t let all the travail seem little before you, that has come on us, on our kings, on our princes, on our priests, on our prophets, on our fathers, and on all your people, since the time of the kings of Assyria to this day.

耶和华啊，我们和我们的君王们、首领们、祖先们都满面羞耻，因为我们对你犯了罪！

我向耶和华我的神祷告、认罪，说：“哦，主啊，大而可畏的神，你向那些爱你并遵守你诫命的人持守你的约和慈爱！

没有听从你的仆人众先知——他们奉你的名向我们的君王们、首领们、祖先们和这地所有的子民说话。

当对神说：“你的作为多么可畏！因你强大的能力，你的仇敌向你卑躬屈膝。

耶和华必使亚述王攻击的日子临到你、你的子民和你的父家；这是自从以法莲脱离犹大以来，未曾有过的日子。“到那日，耶和华必发出哨声，召来埃及江河源头的苍蝇和亚述地的刺蜂。

祸哉！亚述，我怒气的棍！他们手中的杖就是我的愤怒。我要派遣他去攻击一个不敬虔的国家，吩咐他去攻打我所恼怒的子民，掳财掠货，践踏他们，如同践踏街道上的泥土。但这不是他所想的，也不是他的心思打算；他心里所怀的却是毁灭、剪除多国。

因此，看哪，主必使幼发拉底河强盛的大水，就是亚述王和他所有的威势，上涨淹没他们，又上涨淹没一切水道，漫过所有的河岸；然后涌入犹大，漫溢泛滥，高达颈项！他展开的翅膀，遍满你广阔的土地，以马内利啊！”

希西加王十四年，亚述王西纳基立上来攻击犹大所有坚固的城，并攻取了它们。亚述王派遣将军率领大军，从拉吉往耶路撒冷，到希西加王那里去。将军站在上池的沟渠旁，通往漂布场的大道上。那时，希勒加的儿子宫廷总管以利亚敬，书记舍伯纳，以及亚萨的儿子史官约亚，都出来到他那里。将军对他们说：“请你们告诉希西加：亚述大王如此说‘你所依靠的算什么依靠？你说你有作战的谋略和实力，但那只是嘴上的空谈！你现在依靠谁，竟敢背叛我！’看哪！你依靠的埃及是压裂的芦苇杖；如果有人倚靠它，它就会扎入那人的手，把手刺透。埃及王法老对所有依靠他的人都是这样。你也许会对我说‘我们依靠耶和华我们的神’，但希西加除掉了这神的高所和祭坛，却还对犹大和耶路撒冷的人说‘你们当在这祭坛前敬拜！’难道耶和华不就是这神吗？“现在你可以与我主亚述王下一个赌注：你那边如果能给出相应的骑士，我就给你两千匹马；如果不能，你怎能击退我主的臣仆中至小的一个军官呢？你竟敢依靠埃及的战车和马兵！现在，我上来攻打这地，要把它毁灭，难道不是出于耶和华吗？是耶和华对我说‘你要上去攻打这地，把它毁灭！’”以利亚敬、舍伯纳、约亚对将军说：“求你用亚兰语对仆人们说话，因为我们听得懂；不要用犹大话对我们说话，免得达到城墙上众人的耳中。”将军却说：“难道我的主人派我来，只对你和你的主人说这些话吗？不也对那些坐在城墙上，将与你们一同吃自己粪、喝自己尿的人说话吗？”然后，将军站着用犹大话大声呼喊，说：“你们要听亚述大王的话！王如此说：‘不要让希西加欺哄你们，因为他不能解救你们；也不要让希西加说服你们依靠耶和华，因为他会说：耶和华必定解救我们，这城必不落入亚述王手中。’“你们不要听希西加的话，因为亚述王如此说：‘你们要与我和好，出来向我投降，各人就可以吃自己葡萄树和无花果树的果子，喝自己水窖里的水；以后我会来，把你们带到一个地方，与你们本土一样，是一个有五谷和新酒的地方，一个有粮食和葡萄园的地方。不要让希西加唆哄你们，说：耶和华必解救我们。列国的神明中，有哪一个曾解救自己的国土脱离亚述王的手呢？哈马和亚珥拔的神在哪里呢？西法瓦音的神在哪里呢？难道他们曾解救撒马利亚脱离我的手吗？这些国所有的神明中，有哪一个曾解救自己的国土脱离我的手呢？难道耶和华会解救耶路撒冷脱离我的手吗？’”众人都默不作声，一句也不回应，因为希西加王有令说：“不许回应他。”希勒加的儿子宫廷总管以利亚敬，书记舍伯纳，以及亚萨的儿子史官约亚，都撕裂衣服来到希西加那里，把将军的话告诉了他。

因为耶和华至高者是可畏的，他是全地之上的大君王。

你们当来，观看神的作为！他向世人所行的事是可畏的：
