“ Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him.“ Yes,” replied Jesus.“ Haven’t you ever read about it in Scripture? It says,“‘ Lord, you have made sure that children and infants praise you.’ ”( Psalm 8:2)

But he said to me,“ My grace is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak.” So I am very happy to brag about how weak I am. Then Christ’s power can rest on me.Because of how I suffered for Christ, I’m glad that I am weak. I am glad in hard times. I am glad when people say mean things about me. I am glad when things are difficult. And I am glad when people make me suffer. When I am weak, I am strong.

He says,“ Be still, and know that I am God. I will be honored among the nations. I will be honored in the earth.”

But those who trust in the Lord will receive new strength. They will fly as high as eagles. They will run and not get tired. They will walk and not grow weak.

But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise. God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

At that time Jesus said,“ I praise you, Father. You are Lord of heaven and earth. You have hidden these things from wise and educated people. But you have shown them to little children.

At that time Jesus was full of joy through the Holy Spirit. He said,“ I praise you, Father. You are Lord of heaven and earth. You have hidden these things from wise and educated people. But you have shown them to little children. Yes, Father. This is what you wanted to do.

That’s because they laugh at me and attack me with their words. They want to get even with me.

Then the angel of the Lord went into the camp of the Assyrians. He put to death 185,000 soldiers there. The people of Jerusalem got up the next morning. They looked out and saw all the dead bodies.So Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, took the army tents down. Then he left. He returned to Nineveh and stayed there.One day Sennacherib was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisrok. His sons Adrammelek and Sharezer killed him with their swords. Then they escaped to the land of Ararat. Esarhaddon became the next king after his father Sennacherib.

With a flash of light he destroys places of safety. He tears down cities that have high walls around them.

Lord our God, save us from the power of Sennacherib. Then all the kingdoms of the earth will know that you are the only God.”Isaiah sent a message to Hezekiah. Isaiah said,“ The Lord is the God of Israel. He says,‘ You have prayed to me about Sennacherib, the king of Assyria.So here is the message the Lord has spoken against him. The Lord is telling him,“‘ “You will not win the battle over Zion. Its people hate you and make fun of you. The people of Jerusalem lift up their heads proudly as you run away.Who have you laughed at? Who have you spoken evil things against? Who have you raised your voice against? Who have you looked at so proudly? You have done it against me. I am the Holy One of Israel!Through your messengers you have laughed at me again and again. And you have said,‘ I have many chariots. With them I have climbed to the tops of the mountains. I’ve climbed the highest mountains in Lebanon. I’ve cut down its tallest cedar trees. I’ve cut down the best of its juniper trees. I’ve reached its farthest mountains. I’ve reached its finest forests.I’ve dug wells in other lands. I’ve drunk the water from them. I’ve walked through all the streams of Egypt. I’ve dried up every one of them.’“‘ “But I, the Lord, say,‘ Haven’t you heard what I have done? Long ago I arranged for you to do this. In days of old I planned it. Now I have made it happen. You have turned cities with high walls into piles of stone.Their people do not have any power left. They are troubled and put to shame. They are like plants in the field. They are like new green plants. They are like grass that grows on a roof. It dries up before it is completely grown.“ ‘ “ ‘But I know where you are. I know when you come and go. I know how very angry you are with me.You roar against me and brag. And I have heard your bragging. So I will put my hook in your nose. I will put my bit in your mouth. And I will make you go home by the same way you came.’ ” ’ ”

She said to them,“ I know that the Lord has given you this land. We are very much afraid of you. Everyone who lives in this country is weak with fear because of you.We’ve heard how the Lord dried up the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt. We’ve heard what you did to Sihon and Og, the two Amorite kings. They ruled east of the Jordan River. You completely destroyed them.When we heard about it, we were terrified. Because of you, we aren’t brave anymore. The Lord your God is the God who rules in heaven above and on the earth below.

Fear and terror will fall on them. Your powerful arm will make them as still as a stone. Then your people will pass by, Lord. Then the people you created will pass by.

The Lord is in his holy temple. Let the whole earth be silent in front of him.

Blessed are those whose strength comes from you. They have firmly decided to travel to your temple.As they pass through the dry Valley of Baka, they make it a place where water flows. The rain in the fall covers it with pools.Those people get stronger as they go along, until each of them appears in Zion, where God lives.

He guards the paths of his faithful servants. But evil people will lie silent in their dark graves.“ People don’t win just because they are strong.

But among the Israelites not even one dog will bark at any person or animal.’ Then you will know that the Lord treats Egypt differently from us.

Tremble and do not sin. When you are in bed, look deep down inside yourself and be silent.
