Isaiah 37:11

"“Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, ‘Don’t let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, “Jerusalem won’t be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”"

Key Reflection

This passage challenges Hezekiah’s reliance on his own deity, suggesting that if Jerusalem is indeed delivered, it should not be attributed solely to this god but acknowledged as a demonstration of divine power and faithfulness. It underscores the notion that true trust in God involves recognizing His sovereignty over all outcomes, including those that might seem against all odds.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

And shalt thou be delivered? -How will it be possible for you to stand out against the conquerors of the world?
