Isaiah 37:31-33 New English Translation
31 Those who remain in Judah will take root in the ground and bear fruit.[a]
32 “For a remnant will leave Jerusalem;
survivors will come out of Mount Zion.
The zeal of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies[b] will accomplish this.
33 So this is what the Lord says about the king of Assyria:
“‘He will not enter this city,
nor will he shoot an arrow here.[c]
He will not attack it with his shielded warriors,[d]
nor will he build siege works against it.
