and the Lord sent an angel who annihilated every valiant warrior, leader, and commander in the camp of the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria returned in disgrace to his land. He went to the temple of his god, and there some of his own children struck him down with the sword.
Then the angel of the Lord went out and struck down one hundred and eighty-five thousand in the camp of the Assyrians. When the people got up the next morning, there were all the dead bodies!
Because your raging against me and your arrogance have reached my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my bit in your mouth; I will make you go back the way you came.
the Lord will certainly bring against them the mighty rushing water of the River Euphrates – the king of Assyria and all his glory. It will overflow its channels and spill over all its banks.
His rock will pass away because of fear, and his officers will be afraid because of the signal flag. This is the Lord’s declaration #– #whose fire is in Zion and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
I will punish you according to what you have done – this is the Lord’s declaration. I will kindle a fire in your forest that will consume everything around it.” ’
I will seek the lost, bring back the strays, bandage the injured, and strengthen the weak, but I will destroy the fat and the strong. I will shepherd them with justice.
This is what the Lord says: Though they are strong and numerous, they will still be mowed down, and he will pass away. Though I have punished you, , I will punish you no longer.
Lord, your hand is lifted up to take action, but they do not see it. Let them see your zeal for your people and be put to shame. Let fire consume your adversaries.
