I cut down its tall cedars, and its best evergreens. I invaded its most remote regions, its thickest woods. 24 I dug wells and drank water in foreign lands. With the soles of my feet I dried up all the rivers of Egypt.’ 25 Certainly you must have heard! Long ago I worked it out. In ancient times I planned it; and now I am bringing it to pass.

But in the third year you will plant seed and harvest crops; you will plant vines and consume their produce. 30 Those who remain in Judah will take root in the ground and bear fruit. 31 For a remnant will leave Jerusalem; survivors will come out of Mount Zion.

He will not enter this city,” says the LORD. 34 I will shield this city and rescue it for the sake of my reputation and because of my promise to David my servant.’” 35 That very night the LORD’s angel went out and killed 185,000 men in the Assyrian camp.
