Exegesis
The prohibitive al tira {אַל־תִּירָא | ʼal tîrāʼ} ‘do not fear’ is linked with mipnei hadvarim {מִפְּנֵי הַדְּבָרִים | minpənê haddəvārîm} ‘because of the words’, creating a reason clause.
In context — 2 Kings 19:6
And Isaiah said to them, “Thus you shall say to your master: ‘Thus says the LORD , Do not fear the words that you have heard which the young men of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me .’”
