我將以靈置於其衷、俾其聞風、而歸故土、在彼使仆於刃、○

我將聳動其心、使聞一事、即歸故土、而殞於刃、

我將使之聞風聲、立意歸其故土、在彼必殞於刃、○

Listen! When he hears a certain report, I will make him want to return to his own country, and there I will have him cut down with the sword.’”

Listen! I will send him news from his own country. It will make him want to return home. There I will have him cut down by a sword.” ’ ”

Behold, I will put a spirit in him, so that he shall hear a rumor and return to his own land, and I will make him fall by the sword in his own land.’”

Listen! I myself will move against him, and the king will receive a message that he is needed at home. So he will return to his land, where I will have him killed with a sword.’”

I am about to put a spirit in him and he will hear a rumor and return to his own land, where I will cause him to fall by the sword.’”

Behold, I am going to put a spirit in him so that he will hear news and return to his own land. And I will make him fall by the sword in his own land.” ’ ”

Behold, I will put a spirit in him, and he shall hear tidings, and shall return unto his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.

I am about to put a spirit in him and he will hear a rumor and return to his own land, where I will cause him to fall by the sword.’”

Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.

Look, I will take control of his mind; he will receive a report and return to his own land. I will cut him down with a sword in his own land.”’”

Behold, I will put a spirit in him and he will hear news, and will return to his own land. I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.”’”

亚述王听说古实王特哈加要来攻打他，就派使者去对希西迦说：

“亚述人必丧身刀下，但并非死于人的刀下。他们必逃避这刀，他们的青年必受奴役。他们的堡垒必因恐惧而倒塌，他们的将领一看见战旗必惊慌失措。”这是耶和华说的，祂的火在锡安，祂的火炉在耶路撒冷。

他耳边响着恐怖的声音，他安逸时遭强盗袭击。

耶和华说：“我现在要施展大能，我必受尊崇。你们所谋的像糠秕，所行的如碎秸，毫无价值。你们的气息会像火一样烧灭你们自己。列邦必被烧成灰烬，好像割下的荆棘被火焚烧。”

刹那间，荆棘还没有把锅烧热的工夫，上帝必除灭他们。

看啊，主——万军之耶和华要以大能削去树枝。高大的树必被斩断，挺拔的大树必被砍倒，茂密的树林必被铁斧砍掉，连黎巴嫩的大树也要倒在全能的上帝面前。

他们被上帝的气息所毁，被上帝的怒气所灭。

祂的气息像淹到人颈项的洪流。祂必像筛子一样筛列国，毁灭他们，并把嚼环放在列邦口中，引他们走上歧途。但你们必欢唱，好像晚上庆祝节期；你们必充满喜乐，好像人们吹着笛子登耶和华的山、到以色列磐石那里。耶和华必使人听见祂威严的声音，在愤怒、烈焰、暴雨、雷轰和冰雹中让人看见祂降罚的臂膀。亚述人听见耶和华的声音必心惊胆战，祂必用杖击打他们。耶和华的刑杖每责打他们一下，祂的子民必击鼓弹琴。祂必在战场上挥手击打他们。焚烧之地——陀斐特早已为亚述王预备好了，那里又宽又深，堆着许多木柴，耶和华的气必如同一股硫磺火点燃那些木柴。

虽然万民喧嚣如汹涌的洪水，但上帝一声斥责，他们便逃往远方，像山顶上被风卷走的糠秕，又如狂风刮走的尘埃。他们晚上令人恐惧，早晨已无影无踪。这就是掳掠我们之人的下场，抢夺我们之人的报应。

耶和华就差遣一个天使进入亚述王营中，毁灭了所有的勇士、官长和将领。西拿基立只好满脸羞愧地返回自己的国家。趁他去他神明的庙里时，他的几个亲生儿子用刀杀了他。

因此，主——万军之耶和华必使亚述王强健的士兵疾病缠身，使火焰吞噬他的荣耀。以色列的光必成为火焰，他们的圣者必成为烈火，一日之间烧光亚述王的荆棘和蒺藜。他茂盛的树林和肥美的田园必被彻底摧毁，犹如病人渐渐消亡。

于是，耶和华的天使到亚述营中杀了十八万五千人。人们清早起来，发现到处是尸体。亚述王西拿基立便拔营回国，住在尼尼微。有一天，他在庙中祭拜他的神明尼斯洛的时候，他儿子亚得米勒和沙利色用刀杀了他，然后逃往亚拉腊。他儿子以撒哈顿继位。

原来，主使亚兰人听见大队人马和战车的声音。他们以为以色列王雇用了赫人的诸王和埃及人的诸王来攻营，

但你的众仇敌必像纤细的尘埃一样消散，众多的残暴之徒必如被风刮去的糠秕。突然，刹那之间，万军之耶和华必带着雷轰、地震、巨响、旋风、暴风和烈火来临。攻打、围困耶路撒冷及其堡垒的各国军队必如梦幻，如夜间的异象一样消失。他们好像饥饿的人梦中吃饭，醒来仍然饥饿；像口渴的人梦中喝水，醒来仍然渴得发昏。攻打锡安山的各国军队结局都必如此。”
