Psalms 46:5-11
God is within her; she will not be toppled. God will help her when the morning dawns.Nations rage, kingdoms topple; the earth melts when he lifts his voice.The LORD of Armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold.

He shatters bows and cuts spears to pieces; he sets wagons ablaze.“ Stop fighting, and know that I am God, exalted among the nations, exalted on the earth.”The LORD of Armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold.

And the LORD will make the splendor of his voice heard and reveal his arm striking in angry wrath and a flame of consuming fire, in driving rain, a torrent, and hailstones.Assyria will be shattered by the voice of the LORD. He will strike with a rod.And every stroke of the appointed staff that the LORD brings down on him will be to the sound of tambourines and lyres; he will fight against him with brandished weapons.Indeed! Topheth has been ready for the king for a long time. Its funeral pyre is deep and wide, with plenty of fire and wood. The breath of the LORD, like a torrent of burning sulfur, kindles it.

Then Assyria will fall, but not by human sword; a sword will devour him, but not one made by man.

This is the LORD’s declaration— whose fire is in Zion and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.

Isaiah 37:29-38
Because your raging against me and your arrogance have reached my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my bit in your mouth; I will make you go back the way you came.“‘ This will be the sign for you: This year you will eat what grows on its own, and in the second year what grows from that. But in the third year sow and reap, plant vineyards and eat their fruit.The surviving remnant of the house of Judah will again take root downward and bear fruit upward.For a remnant will go out from Jerusalem, and survivors from Mount Zion. The zeal of the LORD of Armies will accomplish this.’“ Therefore, this is what the LORD says about the king of Assyria: He will not enter this city, shoot an arrow here, come before it with a shield, or build up a siege ramp against it.He will go back the way he came, and he will not enter this city. This is the LORD’s declaration.I will defend this city and rescue it for my sake and for the sake of my servant David.”Then the angel of the LORD went out and struck down one hundred eighty-five thousand in the camp of the Assyrians. When the people got up the next morning, there were all the dead bodies!So King Sennacherib of Assyria broke camp and left. He returned home and lived in Nineveh.One day, while he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him down with the sword and escaped to the land of Ararat. Then his son Esar-haddon became king in his place.
