And they saidª° unto¹ him, Thus¹ saithª° Hezekiah,ª This¹ dayª [is] a dayª of trouble,ª and of rebuke,ª and blasphemy:ª for¹ the childrenª are comeª° to¹ the birth,ª and [there is] not¹ strengthª to bring forth.ª°" {2Kg 19:2-3} + "And it came to pass,¹ when the kingª had heardª°¹ the wordsª of the law,ª that he rentª°¹ his clothes.ª ... Go,²°¹ enquire²° of¹¹ the LORDª for¹ me, and for¹ them that are leftª° in Israelª and in Judah,ª concerning¹ the wordsª of the bookª that¹ is found:ª° for¹ greatª [is] the wrathª of the LORDª that¹ is poured outª° upon us, because¹¹ our fathersª have not¹ keptª°¹ the wordª of the LORD,ª to doª° after all¹ that is writtenª° in¹ this¹ book.ª" {2Ch 34:19-21} + "And it came to pass,¹ when kingª Hezekiahª heardª° [it], that he rentª°¹ his clothes,ª and covered²° himself¹ with sackcloth,ª and wentª° into the houseª of the LORD.ª ... It may be¹ the LORDª thy Godª will hearª°¹ the wordsª of Rabshakeh,ª whom¹ the kingª of Assyriaª his masterª hath sentª° to reproachª° the livingª God,ª and will reproveª° the wordsª which¹ the LORDª thy Godª hath heard:ª° wherefore lift upª° [thy] prayerª for¹ the remnantª that is left.ª°" {Isa 37:1-4}
