30. And the remnant who have escaped of the house of JudahShall again take root downward,And bear fruit upward.
31. For out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant,And those who escape from Mount Zion.The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.’
32. “Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the king of Assyria:‘He shall not come into this city,Nor shoot an arrow there,Nor come before it with shield,Nor build a siege mound against it.
33. By the way that he came,By the same shall he return;And he shall not come into this city,’Says the Lord.
34. ‘For I will defend this city, to save itFor My own sake and for My servant David’s sake.’ ”

36. So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and went away, returned home, and remained at Nineveh.
