Isaiah 36:15

15 et non vobis tribuat fiduciam Ezechias super Domino dicens eruens liberabit nos Dominus non dabitur civitas ista in manu regis Assyriorum

Isaiah 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 ) .

Isaiah 36:15 In-Context

13 et stetit Rabsaces et clamavit voce magna iudaice et dixit audite verba regis magni regis Assyriorum

14 haec dicit rex non seducat vos Ezechias quia non poterit eruere vos

15 et non vobis tribuat fiduciam Ezechias super Domino dicens eruens liberabit nos Dominus non dabitur civitas ista in manu regis Assyriorum

16 nolite audire Ezechiam haec enim dicit rex Assyriorum facite mecum benedictionem et egredimini ad me et comedite unusquisque vineam suam et unusquisque ficum suam et bibite unusquisque aquam cisternae suae

17 donec veniam et tollam vos ad terram quae est ut terra vestra terram frumenti et vini terram panum et vinearum
