Isaiah 36:16-18

New English Translation

¹⁶ Don’t listen to Hezekiah!’ For this is what the king of Assyria says, ‘Send me a token of your submission and surrender to me.^[a] Then each of you may eat from his own vine and fig tree and drink water from his own cistern, ¹⁷ until I come and take you to a land just like your own—a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards. ¹⁸ Hezekiah is misleading you when he says, “The Lord will rescue us.” Have any of the gods of the nations rescued their lands from the power of the king of Assyria?^[b]
