Sennacherib sent his messengers to relay a message to King Hezekiah’s reps: “What makes you so confident? . . . . mere words are no match for my army!” (Isaiah 36:4-5).

“. . . I will pour out my Spirit on your children, my blessing upon your descendants. . . . One will say, ‘I belong to Yahweh.’ Another will be called Jacob. Yet another will write on (their) hand ‘Property of Yahweh.’” Isaiah 44:3,5 (TPT)

(While reading Psalm 51, this song came to remembrance):
