Understanding the surrounding verses prevents misinterpretation:

And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall yet again take root downward, and bear fruit upward. {remnant...: Heb. escaping of the house of Judah that remaineth}

For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD {of hosts} shall do this. {they...: Heb. the escaping}

Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it.

By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD.

For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
