Isaiah 37:33-38:6
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
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 cast up a siege mound against it. 34 By the way that he came, by the same he shall return, and he shall not come into this city, says the Lord. 35 For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake and for the sake of my servant David.”
Sennacherib’s Defeat and Death
36 And the angel of the Lord went forth, and slew a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the camp of the Assyrians; and when men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies. 37 Then Sennach′erib king of Assyria departed, and went home and dwelt at Nin′eveh. 38 And as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adram′melech and Share′zer, his sons, slew him with the sword, and escaped into the land of Ar′arat. And E′sar-had′don his son reigned in his stead.
Hezekiah’s Illness
38 In those days Hezeki′ah became sick and was at the point of death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, “Thus says the Lord: Set your house in order; for you shall die, you shall not recover.” 2 Then Hezeki′ah turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, 3 and said, “Remember now, O Lord, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in faithfulness and with a whole heart, and have done what is good in thy sight.” And Hezeki′ah wept bitterly. 4 Then the word of the Lord came to Isaiah: 5 “Go and say to Hezeki′ah, Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; behold, I will add fifteen years to your life. 6 I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and defend this city.

Isaiah 37:33-38:6
New International Version
33 “Therefore this is what the Lord says concerning the king of Assyria:
“He will not enter this city(A)
or shoot an arrow here.
He will not come before it with shield
or build a siege ramp(B) against it.
34 By the way that he came he will return;(C)
he will not enter this city,”
declares the Lord.
35 “I will defend(D) this city and save it,
for my sake(E) and for the sake of David(F) my servant!”
36 Then the angel(G) of the Lord went out and put to death(H) a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the Assyrian(I) camp. When the people got up the next morning—there were all the dead bodies! 37 So Sennacherib(J) king of Assyria broke camp and withdrew. He returned to Nineveh(K) and stayed there.
38 One day, while he was worshiping in the temple(L) of his god Nisrok, his sons Adrammelek and Sharezer killed him with the sword, and they escaped to the land of Ararat.(M) And Esarhaddon(N) his son succeeded him as king.(O)
Hezekiah’s Illness(P)
38 In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz(Q) went to him and said, “This is what the Lord says: Put your house in order,(R) because you are going to die; you will not recover.”(S)
2 Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord, 3 “Remember, Lord, how I have walked(T) before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion(U) and have done what is good in your eyes.(V)” And Hezekiah wept(W) bitterly.
4 Then the word(X) of the Lord came to Isaiah: 5 “Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of your father David,(Y) says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears;(Z) I will add fifteen years(AA) to your life. 6 And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend(AB) this city.

Genesis 13:12-18
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, while Lot dwelt among the cities of the valley and moved his tent as far as Sodom. 13 Now the men of Sodom were wicked, great sinners against the Lord.
14 The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “Lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward; 15 for all the land which you see I will give to you and to your descendants for ever. 16 I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your descendants also can be counted. 17 Arise, walk through the length and the breadth of the land, for I will give it to you.” 18 So Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt by the oaks[a] of Mamre, which are at Hebron; and there he built an altar to the Lord.

Proverbs 14:27-15:4
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
27 The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,
that one may avoid the snares of death.
28 In a multitude of people is the glory of a king,
but without people a prince is ruined.
29 He who is slow to anger has great understanding,
but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.
30 A tranquil mind gives life to the flesh,
but passion makes the bones rot.
31 He who oppresses a poor man insults his Maker,
but he who is kind to the needy honors him.
32 The wicked is overthrown through his evil-doing,
but the righteous finds refuge through his integrity.[a]
33 Wisdom abides in the mind of a man of understanding,
but it is not[b] known in the heart of fools.
34 Righteousness exalts a nation,
but sin is a reproach to any people.
35 A servant who deals wisely has the king’s favor,
but his wrath falls on one who acts shamefully.
15 A soft answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise dispenses knowledge,[c]
but the mouths of fools pour out folly.
3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place,
keeping watch on the evil and the good.
4 A gentle tongue is a tree of life,
but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.
