“But have you not heard?
I decided this long ago.
Long ago I planned it,
and now I am making it happen.
I planned for you to crush fortified cities

and when you come and go.
I know the way you have raged against me.

who have escaped the ravages of the siege,

and grow up and flourish.
For a remnant of my people will spread out from Jerusalem,
a group of survivors from Mount Zion.
The passionate commitment of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies
will make this happen!
“And this is what the LORD says about the king of Assyria:
“ ‘His armies will not enter Jerusalem.
They will not even shoot an arrow at it.

terraced field.
