Isaiah 23:12
12And he said:“You will no more exult,
O oppressed virgin daughter of aSidon;
arise, bcross over to cCyprus,
even there you will have no rest.”
Isaiah 37:21-35
Sennacherib’s Fall
21Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Because you have prayed to me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria, 22this is the word that the Lord has spoken concerning him:“‘She despises you, she scorns you—
dthe virgin daughter of Zion;
she wags her head behind you—
the daughter of Jerusalem.
23 “‘Whom have you mocked and reviled?
Against whom have you raised your voice
and lifted your eyes to the heights?
Against ethe Holy One of Israel!
24By your servants you have mocked the Lord,
and you have said, fWith my many chariots
I have gone up the heights of the mountains,
to the far recesses of Lebanon,
gto cut down its tallest cedars,
its choicest cypresses,
to come to its remotest height,
its most fruitful forest.
25I dug wells
and drank waters,
to dry up with the sole of my foot
all hthe streams iof Egypt.
26 j“‘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,
27while 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 lBecause 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 mI will turn you back on the way
by which you came.’
30“And this shall be the sign for you: this year you shall eat what grows of itself, and in the second year what springs from that. Then in the third year sow and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit. 31And the surviving remnant of the house of Judah nshall again take root downward and bear fruit upward. 32 oFor out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant, and out of Mount Zion a band of survivors. pThe zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.
33“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 qcast up a siege mound against it. 34By the way that he came, by the same he shall return, and he shall not come into this city, declares the Lord. 35 rFor I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake and for sthe sake of my servant David.”
Isaiah 47:1

17 “You shall say to them this word:y‘Let my eyes run down with tears night and day,
and let them not cease,

aawith a very grievous blow.

13 “Therefore thus says the Lord:abAsk among the nations,
Who has heard the like of this?
The virgin Israel
has done aca very horrible thing.
Jeremiah 31:4
4 adAgain I will build you, and you shall be built,O virgin Israel!
aeAgain you shall adorn yourself with tambourines
and shall go forth in afthe dance of the merrymakers.
Lamentations 1:15
15 “The Lord rejectedall my mighty men in my midst;
he summoned an assembly against me
to crush my young men;
agthe Lord has trodden as in a winepress
the virgin daughter of Judah.
Lamentations 2:13
13 What can I say for you, ahto what compare you,O daughter of Jerusalem?
aiWhat can I liken to you, that I may comfort you,
O virgin daughter of Zion?
ajFor your ruin is vast as the sea;
who can heal you?
