看哪！我要把一個靈放入亞述王裡面，讓他一聽見傳來的風聲就返回本土；我必使他在那裡倒在刀下。』」

我必惊动他的心；他要听见风声就归回本地，我必使他在那里倒在刀下。’”

看哪，因为我必惊动他的心，他要听见风声就归回本地，在那里我必使他倒在刀下。’”

看吧，我必使他靈機一動，就聽見風聲，而回他本地去；我必使他在他本地那裏倒斃於刀下。」』

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.” ’ ”

Surely I will send a spirit upon him, and he shall hear a rumor and return to his own land; and I will cause him to 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.”’”

亞述王聽到了有關庫實王特哈加出來要與自己爭戰的消息。他一聽到，就派遣使者們到希西加那裡，並吩咐使者們：

「亞述人必倒在刀下，這刀不是人的刀；必有刀吞噬他們，這刀不是人的刀。他們必不能從刀下逃遁，他們的青年人必服苦役，他們的磐石必因恐慌而挪移，他們的首領必因敵旗而喪膽。」這是耶和華的宣告——他的火在錫安，他的火爐在耶路撒冷。

耶和華說：「現在我要起來，現在我要被高舉，現在我要受尊崇。你們所懷的是乾草，所生的是麥稭；你們的鼻息是吞噬自己的火。眾民必被燒成灰燼，好像砍下的荊棘在火中燒掉。

在你們的鍋還沒有被荊棘燒熱之前，他就要用旋風，把其中未燒著的和已燒著的一起颳走！

看哪！主萬軍之耶和華將以震撼之力削去樹枝；高聳的必被砍下，高大的必被伐倒；樹林中的密叢，他必用鐵器砍掉；黎巴嫩必因威嚴的那一位而倒下。

他的氣息如漫溢的河水，直漲到頸項；他要用毀滅的篩把列國篩淨，又在眾民的臉頰套上使他們迷失的轡頭。你們卻會歌唱，像守聖節的夜晚那樣；並會心裡喜樂，像人伴著笛聲行走，上耶和華的山，到以色列的磐石那裡。耶和華必使人聽見他威嚴的聲音，又以猛烈的怒氣、吞噬的火焰、暴雨、狂風和石頭般的冰雹，使人看見他掄下來的膀臂。亞述人必因耶和華的聲音而喪膽，耶和華必用杖擊打他們；耶和華施刑的杖每打他們一下，人都會擊鼓和彈琴；打仗的時候，耶和華必揮手與他們爭戰。原來，那焚燒場早已安排好了，是為君王所預備的；它又深又寬，其中充滿了火和許多木柴；耶和華的氣息如同一股硫磺火使它燃燒起來。

萬族喧嘩雖像大水的喧嚷，但神必斥責他們，他們就遠遠逃跑；他們被追趕，如山上風前的糠秕，又如旋風前的塵土。看哪，傍晚時分必有恐怖的事，未到早晨他們就不復存在了！這就是搶掠我們之人的份，是掠奪我們之人的命運。

因此，主萬軍之耶和華必使衰敗臨到亞述王肥壯的勇士；在亞述王的榮耀之下，必有火燃起，如同烈火燃燒。以色列的光必成為火，他的聖者必成為烈焰，一日之內就把亞述王的荊棘和蒺藜焚燒吞噬；亞述王樹林和果園的榮美必全然滅絕，好像病重的人消逝那樣。

於是耶和華的使者出去，在亞述的營中擊殺了十八萬五千人；清早人們起來，看哪，所見的都是死屍！亞述王西納基立就拔營回去，住在尼尼微。有一天，西納基立在自己的神尼斯洛的廟裡下拜，他的兒子亞得米勒和沙利色用刀殺了他，然後逃到亞拉臘地。他的兒子以撒哈頓接替他作王。

然而，你成群的外敵必變得像細小的灰塵，那些成群的強橫者必像被吹散的糠秕。頃刻之間，萬軍之耶和華必突然用雷霆、地震、巨響、旋風、狂風和吞噬的火焰來懲罰他們。攻打亞利伊勒的萬國眾軍，所有攻打亞利伊勒和它要塞的，以及使它受困苦的，都必像一場夢幻，又如夜間的異象——他們像飢餓的人在夢中吃飯，醒來後仍然飢餓；又像口渴的人在夢中喝水，醒來後仍然口渴、發昏。攻打錫安山的萬國眾軍也必如此。
