But that is not what the king of Assyria plans. It is not what he has in mind. His purpose is to destroy many nations. His purpose is to put an end to them.

然而，他不是这样的意思；他心也不这样打算。他心里倒想毁灭，剪除不少的国。

然而，这并非他的意念，他的心不是这样打算；他的心要摧毁，要剪除不少的国家。

然而，这并非他的意念，他的心不是这样打算；他的心要摧毁，要剪除不少的国家。

可是他却不这样想，心里也不这样盘算，他只想毁灭许多国家。

但亚述并没有这样想过，他心里也没有这样打算；他心里倒想毁灭、剪除多国。

但这不是他所想的，也不是他的心思打算；他心里所怀的却是毁灭、剪除多国。

然而，他不是這樣的意思；他心也不這樣打算。他心裏倒想毀滅，剪除不少的國。

然而，這並非他的意念，他的心不是這樣打算；他的心要摧毀，要剪除不少的國家。

然而，這並非他的意念，他的心不是這樣打算；他的心要摧毀，要剪除不少的國家。

可是他卻不這樣想，心裡也不這樣盤算，他只想毀滅許多國家。

但亞述並沒有這樣想過，他心裡也沒有這樣打算；他心裡倒想毀滅、剪除多國。

但他呢、卻不這樣思想；他心裏並不這樣打算；他心裏倒想毁滅，剪除不少的國。

惟其意不如是、其心不思此、乃欲肆行敗壞、翦滅多邦、

亞述人之所為、非欲成我之志、其意乃為翦滅列邦。

惟亞述王不如是思維、心中不如是意念、乃欲毀滅諸國、欲殄絕淨盡、

But this is not what he intends, this is not what he has in mind; his purpose is to destroy, to put an end to many nations.

But he does not so intend, and his heart does not so think; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few;

But the king of Assyria will not understand that he is my tool; his mind does not work that way. His plan is simply to destroy, to cut down nation after nation.

But this is not what he intends; this is not what he plans. It is his intent to destroy and to cut off many nations.

Yet it does not so intend, Nor does it plan so in its heart, But rather it is its purpose to destroy And to eliminate many nations.

Yet he does not mean so, Nor does his heart think so; But it is in his heart to destroy, And cut off not a few nations.

Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few.

But this is not what he intends; this is not what he plans. It is his intent to destroy and to cut off many nations.

Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but[ it is] in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.

But he does not agree with this, his mind does not reason this way, for his goal is to destroy, and to eliminate many nations.

However he doesn’t mean so, neither does his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off not a few nations.

You planned to harm me. But God planned it for good. He planned to do what is now being done. He wanted to save many lives.

But now many nations have gathered together to attack you. They say,“ Let Jerusalem be made‘ unclean.’ We want to laugh when Zion suffers!”But those nations don’t know what the Lord has in mind. They don’t understand his plan. He has planned to gather them up like bundles of grain. He has planned to take them to his threshing floor.

Long ago God planned that Jesus would be handed over to you. With the help of evil people, you put Jesus to death. You nailed him to the cross.

The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus. By finding him guilty, they made the prophets’ words come true. These are read every Sabbath day.The people and their rulers had no reason at all for sentencing Jesus to death. But they asked Pilate to have him killed.They did everything that had been written about Jesus. Then they took him down from the cross. They laid him in a tomb.But God raised him from the dead.

I’m sure you have heard about what the kings of Assyria have done to all the other countries. They have destroyed them completely. So do you think you will be saved?The kings who ruled before me destroyed many nations. Did the gods of those nations save them? Did the gods of Gozan, Harran or Rezeph save them? What about the gods of the people of Eden who were in Tel Assar?Where is the king of Hamath? Where is the king of Arpad? Where are the kings of Lair, Sepharvaim, Hena and Ivvah?’ ”

“‘ Don’t let Hezekiah fool you. He’s telling you a lie when he says,“ The Lord will save us.” Have the gods of any nations ever saved their lands from the power of the king of Assyria?Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? Have they saved Samaria from my power?Which one of all the gods of those countries has been able to save their lands from me? So how can the Lord save Jerusalem from my power?’ ”
