32 Till I come and take you away to a land like yours, a land of grain and wine, a land of bread and vine-gardens, a land of oil-giving olives and of honey, so that life and not death may be your fate. Give no attention to Hezekiah when he says to you, The Lord will keep us safe.

Until I come and take you to a land like your land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive oil and honey, and you will live and not die; and do not listen to Hezekiah, for he will lead you to say, "The Lord will surely save us."
