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.

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.”’”

亞述王聽說古實王特哈加要來攻打他，就派使者去對希西迦說：

「亞述人必喪身刀下，但並非死於人的刀下。他們必逃避這刀，他們的青年必受奴役。他們的堡壘必因恐懼而倒塌，他們的將領一看見戰旗必驚慌失措。」這是耶和華說的，祂的火在錫安，祂的火爐在耶路撒冷。

他耳邊響著恐怖的聲音，他安逸時遭強盜襲擊。

耶和華說：「我現在要施展大能，我必受尊崇。你們所謀的像糠秕，所行的如碎稭，毫無價值。你們的氣息會像火一樣燒滅你們自己。列邦必被燒成灰燼，好像割下的荊棘被火焚燒。」

刹那間，荊棘還沒有把鍋燒熱的工夫，上帝必除滅他們。

看啊，主——萬軍之耶和華要以大能削去樹枝。高大的樹必被斬斷，挺拔的大樹必被砍倒，茂密的樹林必被鐵斧砍掉，連黎巴嫩的大樹也要倒在全能的上帝面前。

他們被上帝的氣息所毀，被上帝的怒氣所滅。

祂的氣息像淹到人頸項的洪流。祂必像篩子一樣篩列國，毀滅他們，並把嚼環放在列邦口中，引他們走上歧途。但你們必歡唱，好像晚上慶祝節期；你們必充滿喜樂，好像人們吹著笛子登耶和華的山、到以色列磐石那裡。耶和華必使人聽見祂威嚴的聲音，在憤怒、烈焰、暴雨、雷轟和冰雹中讓人看見祂降罰的臂膀。亞述人聽見耶和華的聲音必心驚膽戰，祂必用杖擊打他們。耶和華的刑杖每責打他們一下，祂的子民必擊鼓彈琴。祂必在戰場上揮手擊打他們。焚燒之地——陀斐特早已為亞述王預備好了，那裡又寬又深，堆著許多木柴，耶和華的氣必如同一股硫磺火點燃那些木柴。

雖然萬民喧囂如洶湧的洪水，但上帝一聲斥責，他們便逃往遠方，像山頂上被風捲走的糠秕，又如狂風颳走的塵埃。他們晚上令人恐懼，早晨已無影無蹤。這就是擄掠我們之人的下場，搶奪我們之人的報應。

耶和華就差遣一個天使進入亞述王營中，毀滅了所有的勇士、官長和將領。西拿基立只好滿臉羞愧地返回自己的國家。趁他去他神明的廟裡時，他的幾個親生兒子用刀殺了他。

因此，主——萬軍之耶和華必使亞述王強健的士兵疾病纏身，使火焰吞噬他的榮耀。以色列的光必成為火焰，他們的聖者必成為烈火，一日之間燒光亞述王的荊棘和蒺藜。他茂盛的樹林和肥美的田園必被徹底摧毀，猶如病人漸漸消亡。

於是，耶和華的天使到亞述營中殺了十八萬五千人。人們清早起來，發現到處是屍體。亞述王西拿基立便拔營回國，住在尼尼微。有一天，他在廟中祭拜他的神明尼斯洛的時候，他兒子亞得米勒和沙利色用刀殺了他，然後逃往亞拉臘。他兒子以撒哈頓繼位。

原來，主使亞蘭人聽見大隊人馬和戰車的聲音。他們以為以色列王雇用了赫人的諸王和埃及人的諸王來攻營，

但你的眾仇敵必像纖細的塵埃一樣消散，眾多的殘暴之徒必如被風颳去的糠秕。突然，刹那之間，萬軍之耶和華必帶著雷轟、地震、巨響、旋風、暴風和烈火來臨。攻打、圍困耶路撒冷及其堡壘的各國軍隊必如夢幻，如夜間的異象一樣消失。他們好像饑餓的人夢中吃飯，醒來仍然饑餓；像口渴的人夢中喝水，醒來仍然渴得發昏。攻打錫安山的各國軍隊結局都必如此。」
