“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.”
The message sent to Isaiah describes the current situation as a day of distress, rebuke, and disgrace, comparing it to a woman in childbirth who lacks strength to deliver. The metaphor emphasizes helplessness and the impossibility of self-rescue. The oracle uses the labor imagery to suggest the gravity of the crisis and the necessity of divine intervention. The message to Isaiah represents an implicit prayer for intercession and for God's action.
