²⁹Then Isaiah said to King Hezekiah, “This is a sign of what will happen. This year and next you will have only wild grain to eat, but the following year you will be able to sow your corn and harvest it, and plant vines and eat grapes. ³⁰Those in Judah who survive will flourish like plants that send roots deep into the ground and produce fruit. ³¹There will be people in Jerusalem and on Mount Zion who will survive, because the Lord is determined to make this happen.

³²“This is what the Lord has said about the Assyrian emperor: ‘He will not enter this city or shoot a single arrow against it. No soldiers with shields will come near the city, and no siege mounds will be built round it. ³³He will go back by the same road he came, without entering this city. I, the Lord, have spoken. ³⁴I will defend this city and protect it, for the sake of my own honour and because of the promise I made to my servant David.’ ” ³⁵That night an angel of the Lord went to the Assyrian camp and killed 185,000 soldiers. At dawn the next day, there they lay, all dead!
