Isaiah 37:31 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 37:31

29 Because your rage against Me and your tumult
Have come up to My ears,
Therefore ^aI will put My hook in your nose
And My bridle in your lips,
And I will ^bturn you back
By the way which you came.” ’

30 “This shall be a sign to you:
You shall eat this year such as grows of itself,
And the second year what springs from the same;
Also in the third year sow and reap,
Plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them.

31 And the remnant who have escaped of the house of Judah
Shall again take root downward,
And bear fruit upward.

32 For out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant,
And those who escape from Mount Zion.
The ^azeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

33 “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.

34 By the way that he came,
By the same shall he return;
And he shall not come into this city,’
Says the Lord.

35 ‘For I will ^adefend this city, to save it
For My own sake and for My servant ^bDavid’s sake.’ ”

Sennacherib’s Defeat and Death

36 Then the ^aangel of the Lord went out, and² killed in the camp of the Assyrians one hundred and eighty-five thousand; and when people arose early in the morning, there were the corpses—all dead.

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

38 Now it came to pass, as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, that his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him down with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Then ^aEsarhaddon his son reigned in his place.
