Isaiah 37:6-8

Common English Bible

⁶ Isaiah said to them, “Say this to your master: The Lord says this: Don’t be afraid at the words you heard, which the officers of Assyria’s king have used to insult me. ⁷ I’m about to mislead him, so when he hears a rumor, he’ll go back to his own country. Then I’ll have him cut down by the sword in his own land.”

⁸ The field commander heard that the Assyrian king had left Lachish. So he went back to the king and found him attacking Libnah.
