Isaiah 34 - 36

Isaiah gives a description of the day when God's vengeance is poured out upon the nations.  In that day, nations will attempt to flee from His wrath, but will be unsuccessful.  Isaiah then describes the joy that will be found among God's people when the way of blessing has been prepared for them.

Then it all gets put to the test.  Emissaries from Assyria come and threaten the city of Jerusalem, warning the citizens to not listen to Hezekiah's pleas to trust in God.  These messages are delivered, not in the Aramaic language used in the government, but in Hebrew so that all the citizens would know the terror intended by the Assyrian army.

Hezekiah's command is simple:  do not answer these men.
