“Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria: this is the word which the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee. Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.”
Isaiah 37:21-23 KJV
Isaiah records the answer to Hezekiah’s desperate prayer to Yahweh against Sennacherib and his vast army. Then Isaiah, son of Amoz, sent this message to Hezekiah: “Hear the words of Yahweh, the God of Israel: ‘Because you prayed to me about the taunts of Sennacherib, king of Assyria, this is what I, Yahweh, decree concerning him: “The virgin daughter of Zion despises you and ridicules you. My daughter, Jerusalem, tosses her head back and makes fun of you!? Who do you think you’re mocking and blaspheming? Against whom do you raise your voice? And who have you looked down upon in your arrogance? None other than me, the Holy One of Israel! In the new covenant, Jesus humbled Himself even unto death so that God has highly exalted Him that at the Name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord! Hallelujah!
