What Does This Mean?
In this verse, God is speaking through the prophet Isaiah. He promises that the Assyrian king, who is planning to attack Jerusalem, will not be able to do so. God will protect the city and prevent any attack.
Explained for Children
Imagine you're playing a game of defense against a big, scary monster. God is like your best friend who says, 'Don't worry, I won't let the monster come near you, it won't even get to throw a rock at you!'. That's what God is saying to the people of Jerusalem.
Historical Background
Isaiah wrote this during the reign of King Hezekiah of Judah, around 701 BCE. The Assyrians were a powerful empire and were threatening to attack Jerusalem. The audience was the people of Judah who were fearful of the Assyrian invasion.
