32. For out of Jerusalem shall come a remnant,and from Mount Zion, survivors.The zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do this.
33. Therefore, thus says the Lord about the king of Assyria:He shall not come as far as this city,nor shoot there an arrow,nor confront it with a shield,Nor cast up a siege-work against it.
34. By the way he came he shall leave,never coming as far as this city,oracle of the Lord.
35. I will shield and save this cityfor my own sake and the sake of David my servant.”
36. Then the angel of the Lord went forth and struck down one hundred and eighty-five thousand in the Assyrian camp. Early the next morning, there they were, all those corpses, dead!
37. So Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, broke camp, departed, returned home, and stayed in Nineveh.
