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.
24 I 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,
26 while 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.
28 Because 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. 31 For 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.”

35 And 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. 36 Then Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and went home and lived at ^zNineveh. 37 And 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 32:15

15 Now, therefore, do not let Hezekiah deceive you or mislead you in this fashion, and do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to deliver his people from my hand or from the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you out of my hand!’”

2 Chronicles 32:19

19 And they spoke of the God of Jerusalem as they spoke of the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are the work of men’s hands.

Isaiah 37:18-19

Isaiah 37:23-29

23 “‘Whom have you mocked and reviled?
Against whom have you raised your voice
and lifted your eyes to the heights?
Against ^acthe Holy One of Israel!
24 By your servants you have mocked the Lord,
and you have said, ^adWith my many chariots
I have gone up the heights of the mountains,
to the far recesses of Lebanon,
^aeto cut down its tallest cedars,
its choicest cypresses,
to come to its remotest height,
its most fruitful forest.
25 I dug wells
and drank waters,
to dry up with the sole of my foot
all ^afthe streams ^agof Egypt.
26 ^ah“‘Have you not heard
that I determined it long ago?
I planned from days of old
what now I bring to pass,
that you should make fortified cities
crash into heaps of ruins,
27 while their inhabitants, shorn of strength,
are dismayed and confounded,
and have become like plants of the field
and like tender grass,
like grass on the housetops,
blighted ^{▼▼Some Hebrew manuscripts and 2 Kings 19:26; most Hebrew manuscripts like a field} before it is grown.
28 “‘I know your sitting down
and your going out and coming in,
and your raging against me.
29 ^ajBecause you have raged against me
and your complacency has come to my ears,
I will put my hook in your nose
and my bit in your mouth,
and ^akI will turn you back on the way
by which you came.’

Isaiah 45:16-17

16 ^alAll of them are put to shame and confounded;
the makers of idols go in confusion together.
17 But Israel is saved by the Lord
with everlasting salvation;
^amyou shall not be put to shame or confounded
to all eternity.
