Isaiah 36:15-17

The Voice

¹⁵ Don’t let him convince you to trust the Eternal by saying, ‘The Eternal will surely save us; God will spare Jerusalem from the king of Assyria.’ ¹⁶ Don’t believe it for a minute.”

My king, Sennacherib, says, “Make your peace with me. Don’t fight it, but come on out and join me. Then each of you will be able to enjoy your home and garden, eat your own grapes and figs, and drink the water from your own cistern ¹⁷ until I come and bring you back to my place. Oh, it’s like yours, to be sure. It has grain for bread and vineyards for new wine.
