Isaiah 37:30-38
New King James Version
Isaiah 37:30-38
New King James Version
30 “This shall be a sign to you:
You shall eat this year such as grows of itself,
And the second year what springs from the same;
Also in the third year sow and reap,
Plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them.
31 And the remnant who have escaped of the house of Judah
Shall again take root downward,
And bear fruit upward.
32 For out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant,
And those who escape from Mount Zion.
The (A)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,
Nor shoot an arrow there,
Nor come before it with shield,
Nor build a siege mound against it.
34 By the way that he came,
By the same shall he return;
And he shall not come into this city,’
Says the Lord.
35 ‘For I will (B)defend this city, to save it
For My own sake and for My servant (C)David’s sake.’ ”
Sennacherib’s Defeat and Death(D)
36 Then the (E)angel[a] of the Lord went out, and [b]killed in the camp of the Assyrians one hundred and eighty-five thousand; and when people arose early in the morning, there were the corpses—all dead. 37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and went away, returned home, and remained at Nineveh. 38 Now it came to pass, as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, that his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him down with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Then (F)Esarhaddon his son reigned in his place.

Isaiah 37:30-38
New International Version
30 “This will be the sign(A) for you, Hezekiah:
“This year(B) you will eat what grows by itself,
and the second year what springs from that.
But in the third year(C) sow and reap,
plant vineyards(D) and eat their fruit.(E)
31 Once more a remnant of the kingdom of Judah
will take root(F) below and bear fruit(G) above.
32 For out of Jerusalem will come a remnant,(H)
and out of Mount Zion a band of survivors.(I)
The zeal(J) of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this.
33 “Therefore this is what the Lord says concerning the king of Assyria:
“He will not enter this city(K)
or shoot an arrow here.
He will not come before it with shield
or build a siege ramp(L) against it.
34 By the way that he came he will return;(M)
he will not enter this city,”
declares the Lord.
35 “I will defend(N) this city and save it,
for my sake(O) and for the sake of David(P) my servant!”
36 Then the angel(Q) of the Lord went out and put to death(R) a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the Assyrian(S) camp. When the people got up the next morning—there were all the dead bodies! 37 So Sennacherib(T) king of Assyria broke camp and withdrew. He returned to Nineveh(U) and stayed there.
38 One day, while he was worshiping in the temple(V) of his god Nisrok, his sons Adrammelek and Sharezer killed him with the sword, and they escaped to the land of Ararat.(W) And Esarhaddon(X) his son succeeded him as king.(Y)
