Isaiah 36:16

Sennacherib Threatens Jerusalem

15Do not let Hezekiah persuade you to trust in the LORD when he says, ‘The LORD will surely deliver us; this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.’ 16Do not listen to Hezekiah, for this is what the king of Assyria says: Make peace with me and come out to me. Then every one of you will eat from his own vine and his own fig tree, and drink water from his own cistern,17until I come and take you away to a land like your own—a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
