Isaiah 37:34 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 37:34

By the way that he came, by the same shall he return
Without executing his designs on Jerusalem, or other places; he shall lose his labour, and make the best of his way to his own country, without turning to the right or left, in order to disturb other nations, and enlarge his kingdom, being quite dispirited and confounded by what he shall meet with:

and shall not come into this city, saith the Lord;
or, unto this city, as before; which is repeated to confirm it, and to show the certainty of it.

Isaiah 37:34 In-Context

32 The people left in Jerusalem will get moving again. Mount Zion survivors will take hold again. The zeal of God-of-the-Angel-Armies will do all this.'

33 "Finally, this is God's verdict on the king of Assyria: "'Don't worry, he won't enter this city, won't let loose a single arrow, Won't brandish so much as one shield, let alone build a siege ramp against it.

34 He'll go back the same way he came. He won't set a foot in this city. God's Decree.

35 I've got my hand on this city to save it, Save it for my very own sake, but also for the sake of my David dynasty.'"

36 Then the Angel of God arrived and struck the Assyrian camp - 185,000 Assyrians died. By the time the sun came up, they were all dead - an army of corpses!
