“Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it.”
Isaiah asserts that the king of Assyria will not come into the city or shoot an arrow against it, will not come before it with shield or cast up a siege ramp against it. The specific negations enumerate the forms of military assault that will not occur, establishing that the city will be preserved. The oracle provides concrete assurance that Jerusalem will not fall to siege.
