32

until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and of honey, that you may live and not die. Don’t listen to Hezekiah when he persuades you, saying, “The LORD will deliver us.”

EXPLANATION

Verse 32. Till. Sennacherib will remove you to another country, but it will be as good as this. He requires you to surrender at discretion. Calmet.—Deliver us. This will not be in his power, no more than it was in that of the other tutelary gods. Menochius.—Infidels and heretics are very foolish thus to compare their delusions with God, and his holy religion. Worthington.
