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.”’”

亚述王听到了有关库实王特哈加出来要与自己争战的消息。他一听到，就派遣使者们到希西加那里，并吩咐使者们：

“亚述人必倒在刀下，这刀不是人的刀；必有刀吞噬他们，这刀不是人的刀。他们必不能从刀下逃遁，他们的青年人必服苦役，他们的磐石必因恐慌而挪移，他们的首领必因敌旗而丧胆。”这是耶和华的宣告——他的火在锡安，他的火炉在耶路撒冷。

耶和华说：“现在我要起来，现在我要被高举，现在我要受尊崇。你们所怀的是干草，所生的是麦秸；你们的鼻息是吞噬自己的火。众民必被烧成灰烬，好像砍下的荆棘在火中烧掉。

在你们的锅还没有被荆棘烧热之前，他就要用旋风，把其中未烧着的和已烧着的一起刮走！

看哪！主万军之耶和华将以震撼之力削去树枝；高耸的必被砍下，高大的必被伐倒；树林中的密丛，他必用铁器砍掉；黎巴嫩必因威严的那一位而倒下。

他的气息如漫溢的河水，直涨到颈项；他要用毁灭的筛把列国筛净，又在众民的脸颊套上使他们迷失的辔头。你们却会歌唱，像守圣节的夜晚那样；并会心里喜乐，像人伴着笛声行走，上耶和华的山，到以色列的磐石那里。耶和华必使人听见他威严的声音，又以猛烈的怒气、吞噬的火焰、暴雨、狂风和石头般的冰雹，使人看见他抡下来的膀臂。亚述人必因耶和华的声音而丧胆，耶和华必用杖击打他们；耶和华施刑的杖每打他们一下，人都会击鼓和弹琴；打仗的时候，耶和华必挥手与他们争战。原来，那焚烧场早已安排好了，是为君王所预备的；它又深又宽，其中充满了火和许多木柴；耶和华的气息如同一股硫磺火使它燃烧起来。

万族喧哗虽像大水的喧嚷，但神必斥责他们，他们就远远逃跑；他们被追赶，如山上风前的糠秕，又如旋风前的尘土。看哪，在晚上必有恐怖的事，未到早晨他们就不复存在了！这就是抢掠我们之人的份，是掠夺我们之人的命运。

因此，主万军之耶和华必使衰败临到亚述王肥壮的勇士；在亚述王的荣耀之下，必有火燃起，如同烈火燃烧。以色列的光必成为火，他的圣者必成为烈焰，一日之内就把亚述王的荆棘和蒺藜焚烧吞没；亚述王树林和果园的荣美必全然灭绝，好像病重的人消逝那样。

于是耶和华的使者出去，在亚述的营中击杀了十八万五千人；清早人们起来，看哪，所见的都是死尸！亚述王西纳基立就拔营回去，住在尼尼微。有一天，西纳基立在自己的神尼斯洛的庙里下拜，他的儿子亚得米勒和沙利色用刀杀了他，然后逃到亚拉腊地。他的儿子以撒哈顿接替他作王。

然而，你成群的外敌必变得像细小的灰尘，那些成群的强横者必像被吹散的糠秕。顷刻之间，万军之耶和华必突然用雷霆、地震、巨响、旋风、狂风和吞噬的火焰来惩罚他们。攻打亚利伊勒的万国众军，所有攻打亚利伊勒和它要塞的，以及使它受困苦的，都必像一场梦幻，又如夜间的异象——他们像饥饿的人在梦中吃饭，醒来后仍然饥饿；又像口渴的人在梦中喝水，醒来后仍然口渴、发昏。攻打锡安山的万国众军也必如此。
