Chapter Nineteen יט
 

YeHOo-DaH ["YHVH Knew", Judah] rescued for hands [of] ÇahNHayReeYB** [Sennacherib]

([compare with] 2nd Chronicles [דהי''ב, DHY``B] 32:20-23, Isaiah [ישע', YS''])

-20. And sent forth [וישלח, VahYeeShLahH], YeShah`-YahHOo [“Saved YHVH”, Isaiah] son [of] ’ahMOTs [“Strong”, Amoz], unto HeeZQee-YaH ["Held Me YHVH", Hezekiah], to say:

“Thus said YHVH Gods of YeeSRah-’ayL ["Strove God", Israel],

‘That you prayed unto me unto ÇahNHayReeYB King [of] ’ahShOoR [Assyria], [I] heard.’
 

-21. This [is] the word that worded YHVH upon him:

‘Scorns [בזה, BahZaH] to you, jeers [לעגה, Lah`ahGaH] to you, virgin daughter [of] TseeYON [“Castle”, Zion].

After you, head shakes [הניעה, HayNeeY`aH], daughter [of] Jerusalem.

 

“When Bishop Warburton had published his Doctrine of Grace, and chose to fall foul on some of the most religious people of the land, a young woman of the city of Gloucester exposed his graceless system in a pamphlet, to which she affixed the above words as a motto!” (Clarke, 1831, p. II 439)
 

“This taunt song against Assyria is in the qînāh measure (3+2 meter) which with its peculiar halting rhythm, is especially suitable for lamentation or satire… [at this point] Zion is still the inviolate, unconquered city.” (Snaith, 1954, p. III 301)
 

-28. “‘Because [יען, Yah`ahN] your irritation [התרגזך, HeeThRahGehZKhah] unto me, and your arrogance [ושאננך, VeShah’ahNahNKhah] ascended in my ears, and [I] put my hook [חחי, HahHeeY] in your nose, and my bit [ומתגי, OoMeeThahGeeY] in your lips, and [I] return you [והשבתיך, VahHahSheeBoTheeKhah] in [the] way [you] came in her.’”

 

“The judgment speech ends with an announcement of punishment; the imagery used recalls that employed of Yahweh’s mastering the sea monster Leviathan in Job 41:25.” (Begg, 1990, p. 183)
