Isaiah Responds to Hezekiah
6 “Here is what to tell your master,” Isaiah told them. “This is what the Lord says: ‘Don’t be afraid of the words you’ve heard—those words with which the underlings of the king of Assyria have insulted me. 7 Watch this! I’m going to place an attitude[a] within him,[b] so that when he hears a certain report, he’ll return to his own country. Then I’ll have him cut down by the sword in his own land.”[c]
