2 Kings 19:22-37

22 “Whom have you cmocked and dreviled?
Against whom have you raised your voice
and lifted your eyes to the heights?
Against ethe Holy One of Israel!
23 fBy your messengers you have mocked the Lord,
and you have said, g‘With my many chariots
I have gone up the heights of the mountains,
to the far recesses of hLebanon;
I felled its tallest cedars,
its choicest cypresses;
I entered its farthest lodging place,
its most ifruitful forest.
24I dug wells
and drank foreign waters,
and I dried up with the sole of my foot
all the streams jof Egypt.’
25 “Have you not heard
that kI determined it long ago?
I planned from days of old
what lnow I bring to pass,
that you should turn fortified cities
into heaps of ruins,
26while their inhabitants, shorn of strength,
are dismayed and confounded,
and have become mlike plants of the field
and like tender grass,
like grass on the housetops,
blighted before it is grown.
27 “But I know your sitting down
nand your going out and coming in,
and your raging against me.
28Because you have raged against me
and your complacency has come into my ears,
I will oput my hook in your nose
and my bit in your mouth,
and pI will turn you back on the way
by which you came.
29“And this shall be qthe sign for you: this year eat what grows of itself, and in the second year what springs of the same. Then in the third year sow and reap and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit. 30 rAnd the surviving remnant of the house of Judah shall again take root downward and bear fruit upward. 31For out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant, and out of Mount Zion sa band of survivors. tThe zeal of the Lord will do this.

32“Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city or shoot an arrow there, or come before it with a shield or ucast up a siege mound against it. 33 vBy the way that he came, by the same he shall return, and he shall not come into this city, declares the Lord. 34 wFor I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake xand for the sake of my servant David.”

35And that night ythe angel of the Lord went out and struck down 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians. And when people arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies. 36Then Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and went home and lived at zNineveh. 37And as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, aaAdrammelech and Sharezer, his sons, struck him down with the sword and escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his place.

2 Chronicles 35:21

21But he sent envoys to him, saying, “What have we to do with each other, king of Judah? I am not coming against you this day, but against the house with which I am at war. And God has commanded me to hurry. Cease opposing God, who is with me, lest he destroy you.”

Isaiah 10:5-6

Judgment on Arrogant Assyria

5 Woe to Assyria, abthe rod of my anger;
the staff in their hands is my fury!
6Against a acgodless nation I send him,
and against the people of my wrath I command him,
to take adspoil and seize plunder,
and to aetread them down like the mire of the streets.

6 afIs a trumpet blown in a city,
and the people are not afraid?
agDoes disaster come to a city,
unless the Lord has done it?

Therefore aihe who delivered me over to you ajhas the greater sin.”
