Isa 36-37; Psalm 123; 1 Cor 10 Discuss in the comments section. The following text is from the English Standard Version. In the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them. And the king of Assyria sent the Rabshakeh from Lachish to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem, with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool on the highway to the Washer’s Field. And there came out to him Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the secretary, and Joah the son of Asaph, the recorder. And the Rabshakeh said to them, ”Say to Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: On what do you rest this trust of yours? Do you think that mere words are strategy and power for war? In whom do you now trust, that you have rebelled against me? Behold, you are trusting in Egypt, that broken reed of a staff, which will pierce the hand of any man who leans on it. Such is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him. But if you say to me, ”We trust in the LORD our God,” is it not he whose high places and altars Hezekiah has removed, saying to Judah and to Jerusalem, ”You shall worship before this altar”? Come now, make a wager with my master the king of Assyria: I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to set riders on them. How then can you repulse a single captain among the least of my master’s servants, when you trust in Egypt for chariots and for horsemen? Moreover, is it without the LORD that I have come up against this land to destroy it? The LORD said to me, Go up against this land and destroy it.”’ Then Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah said to the Rabshakeh, ”Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it. Do not speak to us in the language of Judah within the hearing of the people who are on the wall.” But the Rabshakeh said, ”Has my master sent me to speak these words to your master and to you, and not to the men sitting on the wall, who are doomed with you to eat their own dung and drink their own urine?” Then the Rabshakeh stood and called out in a loud voice in the language of Judah: ”Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria! Thus says the king: ‘Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you. Do not let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD by saying, ”The LORD will surely deliver us. This city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.” Do not listen to Hezekiah. For thus says the king of Assyria: Make your peace with me and come out to me. Then each one of you will eat of his own vine, and each one of his own fig tree, and each one of you will drink the water of his own cistern, until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and wine, a land of bread and vineyards. Beware lest Hezekiah mislead you by saying, ”The LORD will deliver us.” Has any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria? Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hand? Who among all the gods of these lands have delivered their lands out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?”’ But they were silent and answered him not a word, for the king’s command was, ”Do not answer him.” Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the secretary, and Joah the son of Asaph, the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of the Rabshakeh. As soon as King Hezekiah heard it, he tore his clothes and covered himself with sackcloth and went into the house of the LORD. And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the secretary, and the senior priests, covered with sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz. They said to him, ”Thus says Hezekiah, ‘This day is a day of distress, of rebuke, and of disgrace; children have come to the point of birth, and there is no strength to bring them forth. It may be that the LORD your God will hear the words of the Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to mock the living God, and will rebuke the words that the LORD your God has heard; therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.”’ When the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah, Isaiah said to them, ”Say to your master, ‘Thus says the LORD: Do not be afraid because of the words that you have heard, with which the young men of the king of Assyria have reviled me. Behold, I will put a spirit in him, so that he shall hear a rumor and return to his own land, and I will make him fall by the sword in his own land.”’ The Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria fighting against Libnah, for he had heard that the king had left Lachish. Now the king heard concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, ”He has set out to fight against you.” And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying, ‘Thus shall you speak to Hezekiah king of Judah: ‘Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you by promising that Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria. Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, devoting them to destruction. And shall you be delivered? Have the gods of the nations delivered them, the nations that my fathers destroyed, Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the people of Eden who were in Telassar? Where is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, the king of the city of Sepharvaim, the king of Hena, or the king of Ivvah?”’ Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up to the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD. And Hezekiah prayed to the LORD: ‘O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, who is enthroned above the cherubim, you are the God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth. Incline your ear, O LORD, and hear; open your eyes, O LORD, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to mock the living God. Truly, O LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations and their lands, and have cast their gods into the fire. For they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone. Therefore they were destroyed. So now, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you alone are the LORD.” Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, ”Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Because you have prayed to me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria, this is the word that the LORD has spoken concerning him: ”’She despises you, she scorns you–the virgin daughter of Zion; she wags her head behind you–the daughter of Jerusalem. ”Whom have you mocked and reviled? Against whom have you raised your voice and lifted your eyes to the heights? Against the Holy One of Israel! By your servants you have mocked the Lord, and you have said, With my many chariots I have gone up the heights of the mountains, to the far recesses of Lebanon, to cut down its tallest cedars, its choicest cypresses, to come to its remotest height, its most fruitful forest. I dug wells and drank waters, to dry up with the sole of my foot all the streams of Egypt. ”Have you not heard that I determined it long ago? I planned from days of old what now I bring to pass, that you should make fortified cities crash into heaps of ruins, while their inhabitants, shorn of strength, are dismayed and confounded, and have become like plants of the field and like tender grass, like grass on the housetops, blighted before it is grown. ”I know your sitting down and your going out and coming in, and your raging against me. Because you have raged against me and your complacency has come to my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my bit in your mouth, and I will turn you back on the way by which you came.’ ‘And this shall be the sign for you: this year you shall eat what grows of itself, and in the second year what springs from that. Then in the third year sow and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit. And the surviving remnant of the house of Judah shall again take root downward and bear fruit upward. For out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant, and out of Mount Zion a band of survivors. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this. ‘Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city or shoot an arrow there or come before it with a shield or cast up a siege mound against it. By the way that he came, by the same he shall return, and he shall not come into this city, declares the LORD. For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake and for the sake of my servant David.” And the angel of the LORD went out and struck down a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the camp of the Assyrians. And when people arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies. Then Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and returned home and lived at Nineveh. And as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer, his sons, struck him down with the sword. And after they escaped into the land of Ararat, Esarhaddon his son reigned in his place. Psalm 123 To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens! Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, till he has mercy upon us. Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt. Our soul has had more than enough of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud. 1 Cor 10 I want you to know, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ. Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did. Do not be idolaters as some of them were; as it is written, ”The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.” We must not indulge in sexual immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in a single day. We must not put Christ to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents, nor grumble, as some of them did and were destroyed by the Destroyer. Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come. Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall. No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread. Consider the people of Israel: are not those who eat the sacrifices participants in the altar? What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. Shall we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? ‘All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. ”All things are lawful,” but not all things build up. Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor. Eat whatever is sold in the meat market without raising any question on the ground of conscience. For ”the earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.” If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience. But if someone says to you, ”This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for the sake of conscience– I do not mean your conscience, but his. For why should my liberty be determined by someone else’s conscience? If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks? So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God, just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.

यशैया अध्याय 36 1 हिजकियाह राजा भएको चौधौं वर्षमा अश्शूरका राजा सनहेरीब यहूदाका मुख्य शहरहरूको विरूद्ध लडाई लड्न गए। सनहेरीबले ती शहरलाई पराजित गरे। 2 सनहेरीबले आफ्ना कप्तानसँग विशाल सेनाहरू यरूशलेममा राजा हिजकियाहकहाँ पठाए। कप्तान र उनका सेनाहरू लाकीश छाडेर यरूशलेम तिर गए। तिनीहरू माथिल्लो झाडीको जलमार्ग नजिक रोकिए। (माथिल्लो पोखरी धोबीको खेत जाने बाटोतर्फ पर्छ।) 3 यरूशलेमबाट तीन जना पुरूषहरू कप्तानसँग कुरा गर्न गए। तिनीहरू हुन हिल्कियाहको छोरो एल्याकीम, आसापको छोरो योआ अनि शेब्ना। एल्याकीम राजदरबारका प्रशासक थिए। योआ लेखापाल थिए। अनि शेब्ना दरबारको सचिव थिए। 4 कप्तानले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “हिजिकियाहलाई, ‘महाराज, अश्शूरका राजाले यसो भन्छन् भनतिमीहरूले सहायताको लागि केमा भरोसा गरिरहेकाछौ? 5 म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु यदि तिमीहरूले शक्ति र युद्धको योजनामा भरोसा गर्दछौ, यो व्यार्थ हो। तिनीहरू खोक्रा शब्दहरू बाहेक केही होइनन्। अब म तिमीहरूलाई सोध्दछु, तिमीहरूकोमाथि भरोसा गरेर मेरो विरूद्धमा विद्रोह गरिरहेका छौ? 6 के तिमीहरू सहयोगको लागि मिश्रमाथि भर परिरहेकाछौ? मिश्र एउटा भाँचिएको लौरो जस्तो छ। यदि तिमीहरू सहायताको लागि त्यता ढल्किन्छौ भने, त्यसले केवल तिमीहरूलाई चोट पुर्याउनेछ र तिम्रो हातमा दुलो पारिदिनेछ। मिश्रका राजा फिरऊनमाथि कसैले पनि भरोसा राख्न सक्दैन्। 7 तर तिमीहरू यसो भन्न सक्छौ, “हामी आफ्ना परमप्रभु परमेश्वरबाट सहायता पाउने भरोसा गरिरहेछौ।” तर म जान्दछु हिजकियाहले ती वेदीहरू र उच्च स्थानहरू ध्वंश पारे जहाँ मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुलाई पूज्दथे। अनि हिजकियाहले यहूदा र यरूशलेमका मानिसहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूले यहाँ यरूशलेमको एउटा बेदीमा आराधना गर्नुपर्छ।” 8 यदि तिमीहरू अझ लडाइँ गर्न चाहन्छौ भने मेरो मालिक, अश्शूरका राजाले तिमीहरूसँग यो सम्झौता गर्नेछन्। यदि तिमीहरूले युद्धको लागि घोड-सवारहरू पाउन सक्छौ भने म दुइ हजार घोडाहरू दिने वचन दिन्छु। 9 तर त्यसो हुँदा पनि तिमीहरूले मेरो मालिकका निम्न स्तरका अधिकारीहरू सम्मलाई पराजित गर्न सक्दैनौ। यसकारण किन तिमीहरू लगातार मिश्रका रथहरू र घोड-सवारी सेनाहरूमा भर पर्छौ? 10 अहिले के तिमीहरू सोच्दछौ कि म परमप्रभुको सहयोग बिना यो देश ध्वंश गर्न आएको थिएँ? होइन! परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “यो देशको विरूद्ध उठ्, जा र ध्वंश पार।” 11 तब एल्याकीम, शेब्ना र योआहले रबशाकेलाई भने, “दया गरेर हामी प्रति अरामी भाषामा बोल्नु होस्। हामी त्यो भाषा बुझ्छौ। हामीसित यहूदी भाषामा नबोल्नु होस्। यदि तिमीले हाम्रो भाषा प्रयोग गर्यौ भने शहरका पर्खालहरूमा भएका मानिसहरूले पनि बुझ्नेछन्।” 12 तर रबशाकेले भने, “के मेरा मालिकले तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका मालिकहरूसित मात्र बोल्न पठाएको होइन्। मेरो मालिकले ती मानिसहरूसँग पनि बोल्न पठाए जो पर्खालहरूमाथि बसिरहेका छन्। ती मानिसहरूसँग खाद्य र पानी सम्म छैन, तिमीहरूले जस्तै तिनीहरूले आफ्नै दिशा खानेहरू र आफ्नै पिसाब पिउनेछन्।” 13 तब रबशाके यहूदी भाषामा साह्रो चिच्याए अनि यसो भने, 14 “अश्शूरका महाराजाको यो सन्देश सुन,हिजकियाहले तिमीहरूलाई मूर्ख नबनावोस। उसले आफ्नो शक्तिले तिमीहरूलाई बचाउँन सक्दैन्। 15 हिजकियाहमाथि भरोसा नगर जब उसले भन्दछ, ‘परमप्रभुमा भरोसा गर! परमप्रभुले निश्चय हामीलाई बचाउँनु हुनेछ। परमप्रभुले अश्शूरका राजालाई यो शहर परास्त गर्न दिनुहुने छैन।’ 16 हिजकियाहबाट ती शब्दहरू नसुन्। अश्शूरका महाराजाको कुरा सुन्। अश्शूरका राजाले भन्दछ, “हामीले एउटा सम्झौता गर्नुपर्छ। तिमीहरू शहरबाट मकहाँ आउनु पर्छ। तब मात्र प्रत्येक मानिसले आफ्नो घर जानलाई स्वतन्त्र हुनेछ। प्रत्येक मानिसले आफ्ना दाखको बोटबाट स्वतन्त्र रूपले दाख खान पाउनेछ। अनि प्रत्येक मानिसले स्वतन्त्र रूपमा आफ्नो नेभाराको बोटबाट फल खान पाउने छ। प्रत्येक मानिसहरूले आफ्ना इनारबाट स्वतन्त्र रूपमा पानी पिउन पाउने छ। 17 जबसम्म म आउँदिन तिमीहरूले त्यसो गर्न सक्छौ अनि तिमीहरू प्रत्येकलाई त्यस भूमिमा लिएर जाँदिन जो तिमीहरूकै आफ्नो जस्तै छ। त्यस नयाँ देशमा तिमीहरूले राम्रो अन्न र नयाँ दाखरस, रोटी अनि अङ्गुरका लहराहरू पाउनेछौ।” 18 हिजकियाहलाई कष्ट पुर्याउन नदेऊ। हिजकियाह भन्दछ, “परमप्रभुले हामीलाई बचाउनु हुने छ।” तर म तिमीहरूलाई सोध्छु, के अन्य जातिहरूका देवताहरूले तिनीहरूको देशलाई अश्शूरका राजाबाट बचाउन सक्यो? होइन। 19 हमात र अर्पादका देवताहरू कहाँ छन? तिनीहरू परास्त भए। सपर्बेमका देवताहरू कहाँ छन्? तिनीहरू परास्त भए,! के तिनीहरूले शक्तिद्वारा सामरियालाई बचाए? होइन। 20 के अन्य देवताहरूले अरू देशहरूमा मबाट आफ्ना ठाउँहरू बचाए? अहँ! के परमप्रभुले मबाट यरूशलेम बचाउन सक्नुहोला त?” 21 तर यरूशलेमका मानिसहरू एकदम चुपचाप थिए। तिनीहरूले एक शब्द पनि कप्तानलाई भनेन किनभने राजा हिजकियाहले तिनीहरूलाई हुकुम दिएका थिए। उनले भने, उसलाई केही पनि नभन।” 22 त्यसपछि राजदरबारका व्यवस्थापक (हिल्कियाहको छोरो एल्याकीम), राजकीय सचिव शेब्ना अनि धर्मशास्त्री आसापको छोरो योआ हिजकियाह कहाँ गए। तिनीहरूले शोकव्यक्त गर्न आफ्ना लुगाहरू च्याते अनि हिजकियाहलाई प्रत्येक कुरा भने जो अश्शूरका कप्तानले भनेका थिए।
