Isaiah

Isaiah 37:33–36

³³So this is what the LORD says about the king of Assyria:

‘He will not enter this city

or shoot an arrow into it.

He will not come before it with a shield

or build up a siege ramp against it.

³⁴He will go back the way he came,

and he will not enter this city,’

declares the LORD.

³⁵‘I will defend this city

and save it

for My own sake

and for the sake of My servant David.’”

³⁶Then the angel of the LORD went out and struck down 185,000 men in the camp of the Assyrians. When the people got up^g the next morning, there were all the dead bodies!
