“It may be the Lord thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which the Lord thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left.”
The message requests that Isaiah pray for the remnant that remains, asking that God hear the words of the Rabshakeh and respond. The mention of remnant echoes the recurring theme of those who survive judgment. The request for prayer emphasizes the belief that the prophet's intercession has power to move God to action. The oracle establishes prayer and prophetic intercession as the appropriate response to the political crisis.
