The Virgin Daughter of Zion — 2 Kings 19:20–24
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying,
Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel,
Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard thee.
This is the word that Jehovah hath spoken concerning him:
The virgin daughter of Zion hath despised thee and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
Whom hast thou defied and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel. By thy messengers thou hast defied the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir-trees thereof; and I will enter into his farthest lodging-place, the forest of his fruitful field. I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet will I dry up all the rivers of Egypt.
