Isaiah 37:30-38

New American Standard Bible

³⁰ “Then this shall be the sign for you: ^[a]you will eat this year what ^(A)grows of itself, in the second year what grows from the same, and in the third year sow, harvest, plant vineyards, and eat their fruit. ³¹ The ^(B)survivors that are ^(C)left of the house of Judah will again ^(D)take root downward and bear fruit upward. ³² For out of Jerusalem a ^(E)remnant will go, and out of Mount Zion survivors. The ^(F)zeal of the Lord of armies will perform this.”’

³³ “Therefore, this is what the Lord says about the king of Assyria: ‘He will not come to this city nor shoot an arrow there; and he will not come before it with a shield, nor heap up an ^(G)assault ramp against it. ^34 (H)By the way that he came, by the same he will return, and he will not come to this city,’ declares the Lord. ³⁵ ‘For I will ^(I)protect this city to save it ^(J)for My own sake, and for My servant David’s sake.’”

Assyrians Destroyed

³⁶ Then the ^(K)angel of the Lord went out and struck 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians; and when the rest got up early in the morning, behold, all of ^[b]the 185,000 were ^[c]dead. ³⁷ So Sennacherib the king of Assyria departed and ^[d]returned home and lived in ^(L)Nineveh. ³⁸ Then it came about, as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, that his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer killed him with the sword; and they escaped to the land of ^(M)Ararat. And his son ^(N)Esarhaddon became king in his place.
