And he ordained princes of warriors in the host; and he called together all men in the street of the gate of the city, and spake to the hearts of them, and said,
A fleshly arm is with him; and the Lord our God is with us, which is our helper, and shall fight for us. And the people was comforted with such words of Hezekiah, king of Judah.
For thou art made strength to a poor man, strength to a needy man in his tribulation, hope from [the] whirlwind, a shadowing place from heat; for why the spirit of strong men is as a whirlwind hurling the wall.
for the Lord washeth away the filths of the daughters of Zion, and washeth the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof, in the spirit of doom, and in the spirit of heat.
I may nothing do of myself, but as I hear, I deem, [or I may not of myself do anything, but as I hear, I judge], and my doom is just, for I seek not my will, but the will of the Father that sent me.
Lo! I command to thee; be thou comforted, and be thou strong; do not thou dread, nor be thou afeared; for thy Lord God is with thee in all things, to which thou goest.
