Isaiah 37:33-35

37:33 So this is what the Lord says about the king of Assyria:

‘He will not enter this city,

nor will he shoot an arrow here. ¹ 

He will not attack it with his shielded warriors, ² 

nor will he build siege works against it.

37:34 He will go back the way he came –

he will not enter this city,’ says the Lord.

37:35 I will shield this city and rescue it for the sake of my reputation and because of my promise to David my servant.”’” ³ 

[37:33]  ¹ tn Heb “there” (so KJV, NASB, NRSV). In terms of English style “here” is expected in collocation with “this” in the previous line.

[37:33]  ² tn Heb “[with] a shield” (so ASV, NASB, NRSV).

[37:35]  ³ tn Heb “for my sake and for the sake of David my servant.”
