31 For (A)at the voice of the Lord (B)Assyria will be terrified,
When He strikes with the (C)rod.
32 And every [a]blow of the [b](D)rod of punishment,
Which the Lord will lay on him,
Will be with the music of (E)tambourines and lyres;
And in battles, (F)brandishing weapons, He will fight them.
33 For [c](G)Topheth has long been ready,
Indeed, it has been prepared for the king.
He has made it deep and large,
[d]A pyre of fire with plenty of wood;
The (H)breath of the Lord, like a torrent of (I)brimstone, sets it afire.

And the (A)Assyrian will fall by a sword not of man,
And a (B)sword not of man will devour him.
So he will [a](C)not escape the sword,
And his young men will become (D)forced laborers.
“His (E)rock will pass away because of panic,
And his princes will be terrified at the (F)standard,”
Declares the Lord, whose (G)fire is in Zion and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.

Assyrians Destroyed

36 Then the (A)angel of the Lord went out and struck 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians; and when [a]men arose early in the morning, behold, all of these were [b]dead. 37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and [c]returned home and lived at (B)Nineveh. 38 It came about as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons killed him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of (C)Ararat. And (D)Esarhaddon his son became king in his place.
