Sennacherib’s Defeat and Death(A)

36 Then the (B)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 (C)Esarhaddon his son reigned in his place.

31 “You, O king, were watching; and behold, a great image! This great image, whose splendor was excellent, stood before you; and its form was awesome. 32 (A)This image’s head was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and [a]thighs of bronze, 33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of [b]clay. 34 You watched while a stone was cut out (B)without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. 35 (C)Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became (D)like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that (E)no trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image (F)became a great mountain (G)and filled the whole earth.

11 For I am with (A)you,’ says the Lord, ‘to save you;
(B)Though I make a full end of all nations where I have scattered you,
(C)Yet I will not make a complete end of you.
But I will correct you (D)in justice,
And will not let you go altogether unpunished.’

12 “For thus says the Lord:

(E)‘Your affliction is incurable,
Your wound is severe.
13 There is no one to plead your cause,
That you may be bound up;
(F)You have no healing medicines.
14 (G)All your lovers have forgotten you;
They do not seek you;
For I have wounded you with the wound (H)of an enemy,
With the chastisement (I)of a cruel one,
For the multitude of your iniquities,
(J)Because your sins have increased.
15 Why (K)do you cry about your affliction?
Your sorrow is incurable.
Because of the multitude of your iniquities,
Because your sins have increased,
I have done these things to you.

16 ‘Therefore all those who devour you (L)shall be devoured;
And all your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into (M)captivity;
Those who plunder you shall become (N)plunder,
And all who prey upon you I will make a (O)prey.

The Returning Remnant of Israel

20 And it shall come to pass in that day
That the remnant of Israel,
And such as have escaped of the house of Jacob,
(A)Will never again depend on him who [a]defeated them,
But will depend on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 The remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob,
To the (B)Mighty God.
22 (C)For though your people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea,
(D)A remnant of them will return;
The destruction decreed shall overflow with righteousness.
23 (E)For the Lord God of hosts
Will make a determined end
In the midst of all the land.

24 Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts: “O My people, who dwell in Zion, (F)do not be afraid of the Assyrian. He shall strike you with a rod and lift up his staff against you, in the manner of (G)Egypt. 25 For yet a very little while (H)and the indignation will cease, as will My anger in their destruction.”
