Yeshayah 36:15

15 Neither let Chizkiyah make you trust in Hashem, saying, Hashem will surely save us; this city shall not be given into the Melech Ashur.

Yeshayah 36:15 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 36:15

Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the Lord
Hezekiah trusted in the Lord himself, and he endeavoured, both by his own example, and by arguments, to persuade his people to do so likewise; of this Rabshakeh was sensible, and was more afraid of this than of any thing else, and, therefore laboured this point more than any other; see ( 2 Chronicles 32:6-8 ) ; saying, the Lord will surely deliver us, this city shall not be
delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria:
which he might say with the greatest confidence, since the Lord had promised to defend it, ( Isaiah 31:5 ) and especially if his sickness, and recovery out of it, and promises then made to him, were before this, as some think; since it is expressly promised by the Lord, that he would deliver him and the city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, ( Isaiah 38:6 ) .

Yeshayah 36:15 In-Context

13 Then Rav Shakeh stood, and cried with a kol gadol in Yehudit, and said, Hear ye the words of HaMelech Hagadol, the Melech Ashur.

14 Thus saith HaMelech, Let not Chizkiyah deceive you; for he shall not be able to save you.

15 Neither let Chizkiyah make you trust in Hashem, saying, Hashem will surely save us; this city shall not be given into the Melech Ashur.

16 Pay heed not to Chizkiyah; for thus saith HaMelech Ashur, Make a brocha with me, and come out to me; and eat ye every one of his gefen, and every one of his te’enah and drink ye every one the waters of his own bor;

17 Until I come and take you away to an eretz like your own eretz, an eretz dagan and tirosh, an eretz lechem and kramim (vineyards).
