Isaiah 37:4

---

← Isaiah 37:3	Isaiah 37:4 (KJV)	Isaiah 37:5 →
And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day [is] a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and [there is] not strength to bring forth.	It may be the LORD thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up [thy] prayer for the remnant that is left.	So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
