Isaiah 36:16-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ “Don’t listen to Hezekiah. The king of Assyria says, ‘Make peace with me, and come out of the city to me. Then everyone will be free to eat the fruit from his own grapevine and fig tree and to drink water from his own ·well [cistern; ^Csymbols of freedom and prosperity]. ¹⁷ ·After that [^L…until] I will come and take you to a land like your own—a land with grain and new wine, bread and vineyards.’

¹⁸ “Don’t let Hezekiah ·fool [mislead] you, saying, ‘The Lord will save us.’ Has a god of any other nation saved his people from the ·power [^Lhand] of the king of Assyria?
