Those who survive in Judah will be like a vine that puts down deep roots and bears fruit.
Please pray for those of us who are left alive. The king of Assyria sent his army commander to insult the living God. Perhaps the LORD heard what he said and will do something, if you will pray.
Then you cleared the ground, and we put our roots deep, spreading over the land.
Zion would have disappeared like Sodom and Gomorrah, if the LORD All-Powerful had not let a few of its people survive.
Some day Israel will take root like a vine. It will blossom and bear fruit that covers the earth.
