“Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent this message to Hezekiah. Isaiah said, “The Lord, the God of Israel, says this: You prayed to me about the message that came from King Sennacherib of Assyria. I have heard you. “This is the Lord ’S message against Sennacherib: ‘The virgin daughter Zion does not think you are important. She makes fun of you. Daughter Jerusalem shakes her head at you and laughs behind your back. But who did you insult and make fun of? Who did you speak against? You were against the Holy One of Israel. You acted like you were better than he was! You sent your messengers to insult the Lord. You said, “I came with my many chariots to the high mountains deep inside Lebanon. I cut down the tallest cedar trees and the best fir trees of Lebanon. I went to its highest mountains, its thickest forests.
That is what you said, but haven’t you heard what I said? I planned it long ago; from ancient times I planned it. And now I have made it happen. I let you tear down the strong cities and change them into piles of rocks.
I know all about your battles; I know when you rested, when you went out to war, and when you came home. I also know when you got upset at me.
The people from the family of Judah who have escaped and are left alive will be like plants that send their roots deep into the ground and produce fruit above the ground. That is because a few people will come out of Jerusalem alive. There will be survivors coming from Mount Zion. The strong love of the Lord All-Powerful will do this. “So the Lord says this about the king of Assyria: ‘He will not come into this city or shoot an arrow at this city. He will not bring his shields up against this city or build up a hill of dirt to attack its walls. He will go back the way he came, and he will not come into this city. The Lord says this. I will protect this city and save it. I will do this for myself and for my servant David.’””
