And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria hath settled down upon Ephraim. Then shook his heart, and the heart of his people, as the trees of a forest shake before a wind.

Then said he - Hear, I pray you, O house of David! Is it, too little, for you to weary men, that ye must weary even my God?

Of the increase of dominion, and of prosperity, There shall be no end - Upon the throne of David and Upon his kingdom, By establishing it and By sustaining it, With justice and With righteousness, - From henceforth, Even unto times age-abiding: The jealousy of Yahweh of hosts, will perform this!

So shall be established, in lovingkindness, a throne, And one shall sit thereon, in truth, in the home of David, - Judging - and seeking justice and speeding righteousness.

And the breaches in the city of David, ye beheld for they were many, - So ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool;

And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder, - And he shall open and none shall shut, And shut and none shall open;

Alas for Ariel, Ariel, The city against which, David encamped, - Add ye a year to a year. Let the festivals, come round;

Thus will I throw a covering over this city to save it, - For mine own sake, And for the sake of David my servant.

Go, and say unto Hezekiah - Thus, saith Yahweh, the God of David thy father: I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears, - Behold me! about to add unto thy days, fifteen years;

Incline your ear, and come unto me, Hearken, That your soul, may live, - That I may solemnise for you a covenant age-abiding, The Lovingkindness to David, well-assured.
