Isaiahsaidto them, "Thusyou shall sayto your master,'Thussaysthe LORD,"Do not be afraidbecauseof the wordsthat you have heard,with whichthe servantsof the kingof Assyriahave blasphemedMe.
Then the kingof AssyriasentTartanand Rab-sarisand Rabshakehfrom Lachishto KingHezekiahwith a largearmyto Jerusalem.So they wentup and cameto Jerusalem.And when they wentup, they cameand stoodby the conduitof the upperpool,whichis on the highwayof the fuller'sfield.
norlet Hezekiahmake you trustin the LORD,saying,"The LORDwill surelydeliverus, and thiscitywill not be giveninto the handof the kingof Assyria."
Whoamong allthe godsof the landshave deliveredtheir landfrom my hand,that the LORDshould deliverJerusalemfrom my hand?'"
Whomhave you reproachedand blasphemed?And againstwhomhave you raised[your] voice,And haughtilyliftedup your eyes?Againstthe HolyOneof Israel!
So the servantsof KingHezekiahcameto Isaiah.
So he answered,"Do not fear,for those whoare with us are morethanthose whoare with them."
and he said,"Listen,allJudahand the inhabitantsof Jerusalemand KingJehoshaphat:thussaysthe LORDto you, 'Do not fearor be dismayedbecauseof thisgreatmultitude,for the battleis not yours but God's.
You [need] not fightin this[battle]; stationyourselves, standand seethe salvationof the LORDon your behalf,O Judahand Jerusalem.'Do not fearor be dismayed;tomorrowgoout to facethem, for the LORDis with you."
Rememberthis,O LORD,that the enemyhas reviled,And a foolishpeoplehas spurnedYour name.
Do not forgetthe voiceof Your adversaries,The uproarof those who riseagainst You which ascendscontinually.
But Mosessaidto the people,"Do not fear!Standby and seethe salvationof the LORDwhichHe will accomplishfor you today;for the Egyptianswhomyou have seentoday,you will neverseethem againforever.
Thereforethussaysthe LordGODof hosts,"O My peoplewho dwellin Zion,do not fearthe Assyrianwho strikesyou with the rodand liftsup his staffagainstyou, the wayEgypt[did].
"Listento Me, you who knowrighteousness,A peoplein whose heartis My law;Do not fearthe reproachof man,Norbe dismayedat their revilings.
and saidto them, "Thussaysthe LORDthe Godof Israel,to whomyou sentme to presentyour petitionbeforeHim:
You drewnearwhenI calledon You; You said,"Do not fear!"
fiveof you will chasea hundred,and a hundredof you will chasetenthousand,and your enemieswill fallbeforeyou by the sword.
"Whenyou goout to battleagainstyour enemiesand seehorsesand chariots[and] peoplemorenumerousthanyou, do not be afraidof them; for the LORDyour God,whobroughtyou up from the landof Egypt,is with you.
Then the LORDsaidto Joshua,"Do not be afraidbecauseof them, for tomorrowat thistimeI will deliverallof them slainbeforeIsrael;you shall hamstringtheir horsesand burntheir chariotswith fire."
And he openedhis mouthin blasphemiesagainstGod,to blasphemeHis nameand His tabernacle,[that is], thosewho dwellin heaven.
