Hezekiah says to you, ‘The Lord our God will save us from the king of Assyria,’ but he is fooling you. If you stay in Jerusalem, you will die from hunger and thirst.
Be broken, all you nations, and be smashed to pieces. Listen, all you faraway countries. Prepare for battle and be smashed to pieces! Prepare for battle and be smashed to pieces!
Horsemen, charge into battle! Chariot drivers, drive hard! March on, brave soldiers— soldiers from the countries of Cush and Put who carry shields, soldiers from Lydia who use bows.
