31. Those who survive in Judah will be like a vine that puts down deep roots and bears fruit.
32. I, the Lord All-Powerful, will see to it that some who live in Jerusalem will survive.
33. I promise that the king of Assyria won't get into Jerusalem, or shoot an arrow into the city, or even surround it and prepare to attack.
34. As surely as I am the Lord, he will return by the way he came and will never enter Jerusalem.
35. I will protect it for the sake of my own honour and because of the promise I made to my servant David.
36. The Lord sent an angel to the camp of the Assyrians, and he killed one hundred and eighty-five thousand of them all in one night. The next morning, the camp was full of dead bodies.
