12 “I, yes I, am the one who comforts you.
So why are you afraid of mere humans,
who wither like the grass and disappear?
13 Yet you have forgotten the Lord, your Creator,
the one who stretched out the sky like a canopy
and laid the foundations of the earth.
Will you remain in constant dread of human oppressors?
Will you continue to fear the anger of your enemies?
Where is their fury and anger now?
It is gone!

who stretches out the heavens(G)

that you live in constant terror(H) every day

Isaiah 37:6-38
New Living Translation
Isaiah 37:6-38
New Living Translation
6 the prophet replied, “Say to your master, ‘This is what the Lord says: Do not be disturbed by this blasphemous speech against me from the Assyrian king’s messengers. 7 Listen! I myself will move against him,[a] and the king will receive a message that he is needed at home. So he will return to his land, where I will have him killed with a sword.’”
8 Meanwhile, the Assyrian chief of staff left Jerusalem and went to consult the king of Assyria, who had left Lachish and was attacking Libnah.
9 Soon afterward King Sennacherib received word that King Tirhakah of Ethiopia[b] was leading an army to fight against him. Before leaving to meet the attack, he sent messengers back to Hezekiah in Jerusalem with this message:
10 “This message is for King Hezekiah of Judah. Don’t let your God, in whom you trust, deceive you with promises that Jerusalem will not be captured by the king of Assyria. 11 You know perfectly well what the kings of Assyria have done wherever they have gone. They have completely destroyed everyone who stood in their way! Why should you be any different? 12 Have the gods of other nations rescued them—such nations as Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the people of Eden who were in Tel-assar? My predecessors destroyed them all! 13 What happened to the king of Hamath and the king of Arpad? What happened to the kings of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?”
14 After Hezekiah received the letter from the messengers and read it, he went up to the Lord’s Temple and spread it out before the Lord. 15 And Hezekiah prayed this prayer before the Lord: 16 “O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, God of Israel, you are enthroned between the mighty cherubim! You alone are God of all the kingdoms of the earth. You alone created the heavens and the earth. 17 Bend down, O Lord, and listen! Open your eyes, O Lord, and see! Listen to Sennacherib’s words of defiance against the living God.
18 “It is true, Lord, that the kings of Assyria have destroyed all these nations. 19 And they have thrown the gods of these nations into the fire and burned them. But of course the Assyrians could destroy them! They were not gods at all—only idols of wood and stone shaped by human hands. 20 Now, O Lord our God, rescue us from his power; then all the kingdoms of the earth will know that you alone, O Lord, are God.[c]”
Isaiah Predicts Judah’s Deliverance
21 Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent this message to Hezekiah: “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Because you prayed about King Sennacherib of Assyria, 22 the Lord has spoken this word against him:
“The virgin daughter of Zion
despises you and laughs at you.
The daughter of Jerusalem
shakes her head in derision as you flee.
23 “Whom have you been defying and ridiculing?
Against whom did you raise your voice?
At whom did you look with such haughty eyes?
It was the Holy One of Israel!
24 By your messengers you have defied the Lord.
You have said, ‘With my many chariots
I have conquered the highest mountains—
yes, the remotest peaks of Lebanon.
I have cut down its tallest cedars
and its finest cypress trees.
I have reached its farthest heights
and explored its deepest forests.
25 I have dug wells in many foreign lands[d]
and refreshed myself with their water.
With the sole of my foot,
I stopped up all the rivers of Egypt!’
26 “But have you not heard?
I decided this long ago.
Long ago I planned it,
and now I am making it happen.
I planned for you to crush fortified cities
into heaps of rubble.
27 That is why their people have so little power
and are so frightened and confused.
They are as weak as grass,
as easily trampled as tender green shoots.
They are like grass sprouting on a housetop,
scorched[e] before it can grow lush and tall.
28 “But I know you well—
where you stay
and when you come and go.
I know the way you have raged against me.
29 And because of your raging against me
and your arrogance, which I have heard for myself,
I will put my hook in your nose
and my bit in your mouth.
I will make you return
by the same road on which you came.”
30 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Here is the proof that what I say is true:
“This year you will eat only what grows up by itself,
and next year you will eat what springs up from that.
But in the third year you will plant crops and harvest them;
you will tend vineyards and eat their fruit.
31 And you who are left in Judah,
who have escaped the ravages of the siege,
will put roots down in your own soil
and grow up and flourish.
32 For a remnant of my people will spread out from Jerusalem,
a group of survivors from Mount Zion.
The passionate commitment of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies
will make this happen!
33 “And this is what the Lord says about the king of Assyria:
“‘His armies will not enter Jerusalem.
They will not even shoot an arrow at it.
They will not march outside its gates with their shields
nor build banks of earth against its walls.
34 The king will return to his own country
by the same road on which he came.
He will not enter this city,’
says the Lord.
35 ‘For my own honor and for the sake of my servant David,
I will defend this city and protect it.’”
36 That night the angel of the Lord went out to the Assyrian camp and killed 185,000 Assyrian soldiers. When the surviving Assyrians[f] woke up the next morning, they found corpses everywhere. 37 Then King Sennacherib of Assyria broke camp and returned to his own land. He went home to his capital of Nineveh and stayed there.
38 One day while he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer killed him with their swords. They then escaped to the land of Ararat, and another son, Esarhaddon, became the next king of Assyria.

6 Isaiah said to them, “Tell your master, ‘This is what the Lord says: Do not be afraid(A) of what you have heard—those words with which the underlings of the king of Assyria have blasphemed(B) me. 7 Listen! When he hears a certain report,(C) I will make him want(D) to return to his own country, and there I will have him cut down(E) with the sword.’”
8 When the field commander heard that the king of Assyria had left Lachish,(F) he withdrew and found the king fighting against Libnah.(G)
9 Now Sennacherib(H) received a report(I) that Tirhakah, the king of Cush,[a](J) was marching out to fight against him. When he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah with this word: 10 “Say to Hezekiah king of Judah: Do not let the god you depend on deceive(K) you when he says, ‘Jerusalem will not be given into the hands of the king of Assyria.’(L) 11 Surely you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the countries, destroying them completely. And will you be delivered?(M) 12 Did the gods of the nations that were destroyed by my predecessors(N) deliver them—the gods of Gozan, Harran,(O) Rezeph and the people of Eden(P) who were in Tel Assar? 13 Where is the king of Hamath or the king of Arpad?(Q) Where are the kings of Lair, Sepharvaim,(R) Hena and Ivvah?”(S)
Hezekiah’s Prayer(T)
14 Hezekiah received the letter(U) from the messengers and read it. Then he went up to the temple(V) of the Lord and spread it out before the Lord. 15 And Hezekiah prayed(W) to the Lord: 16 “Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, enthroned(X) between the cherubim,(Y) you alone are God(Z) over all the kingdoms(AA) of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.(AB) 17 Give ear, Lord, and hear;(AC) open your eyes, Lord, and see;(AD) listen to all the words Sennacherib(AE) has sent to ridicule(AF) the living God.(AG)
18 “It is true, Lord, that the Assyrian kings have laid waste all these peoples and their lands.(AH) 19 They have thrown their gods into the fire(AI) and destroyed them,(AJ) for they were not gods(AK) but only wood and stone, fashioned by human hands.(AL) 20 Now, Lord our God, deliver(AM) us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth(AN) may know that you, Lord, are the only God.[b](AO)”
Sennacherib’s Fall(AP)
21 Then Isaiah son of Amoz(AQ) sent a message to Hezekiah: “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Because you have prayed to me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria, 22 this is the word the Lord has spoken against him:
“Virgin Daughter(AR) Zion(AS)
despises and mocks you.
Daughter Jerusalem
tosses her head(AT) as you flee.
23 Who is it you have ridiculed and blasphemed?(AU)
Against whom have you raised your voice(AV)
and lifted your eyes in pride?(AW)
Against the Holy One(AX) of Israel!
24 By your messengers
you have ridiculed the Lord.
And you have said,
‘With my many chariots(AY)
I have ascended the heights of the mountains,
the utmost heights(AZ) of Lebanon.(BA)
I have cut down its tallest cedars,
the choicest of its junipers.(BB)
I have reached its remotest heights,
the finest of its forests.
25 I have dug wells in foreign lands[c]
and drunk the water there.
With the soles of my feet
I have dried up(BC) all the streams of Egypt.(BD)’
26 “Have you not heard?
Long ago I ordained(BE) it.
In days of old I planned(BF) it;
now I have brought it to pass,
that you have turned fortified cities
into piles of stone.(BG)
27 Their people, drained of power,
are dismayed and put to shame.
They are like plants in the field,
like tender green shoots,
like grass(BH) sprouting on the roof,(BI)
scorched[d] before it grows up.
28 “But I know where you are
and when you come and go(BJ)
and how you rage(BK) against me.
29 Because you rage against me
and because your insolence(BL) has reached my ears,
I will put my hook(BM) in your nose(BN)
and my bit in your mouth,
and I will make you return
by the way you came.(BO)
30 “This will be the sign(BP) for you, Hezekiah:
“This year(BQ) you will eat what grows by itself,
and the second year what springs from that.
But in the third year(BR) sow and reap,
plant vineyards(BS) and eat their fruit.(BT)
31 Once more a remnant of the kingdom of Judah
will take root(BU) below and bear fruit(BV) above.
32 For out of Jerusalem will come a remnant,(BW)
and out of Mount Zion a band of survivors.(BX)
The zeal(BY) 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(BZ)
or shoot an arrow here.
He will not come before it with shield
or build a siege ramp(CA) against it.
34 By the way that he came he will return;(CB)
he will not enter this city,”
declares the Lord.
35 “I will defend(CC) this city and save it,
for my sake(CD) and for the sake of David(CE) my servant!”
36 Then the angel(CF) of the Lord went out and put to death(CG) a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the Assyrian(CH) camp. When the people got up the next morning—there were all the dead bodies! 37 So Sennacherib(CI) king of Assyria broke camp and withdrew. He returned to Nineveh(CJ) and stayed there.
38 One day, while he was worshiping in the temple(CK) of his god Nisrok, his sons Adrammelek and Sharezer killed him with the sword, and they escaped to the land of Ararat.(CL) And Esarhaddon(CM) his son succeeded him as king.(CN)
