Verse 25 is found in chapter 19 of 2 Kings. Isaiah conveys the Lord’s response to the Assyrian threat. The message mocks Sennacherib’s arrogance and states that his advance has occurred within limits established by God. The imperial power believes its conquests depend exclusively on its own strength, but the prophet declares that the Lord knows and governs its course. It is promised that Assyria will not enter Jerusalem or shoot an arrow there. The deliverance is presented as a sign that God’s sovereignty extends even over the empire that appeared invincible.

N'as-tu pas appris que j'ai préparé ces choses de loin, Et que je les ai résolues dès les temps anciens? Maintenant j'ai permis qu'elles s'accomplissent, Et que tu réduisisses des villes fortes en monceaux de ruines.
Non hai tu inteso che già da lungo tempo io ho fatto questo, e l’ho formato ab antico? ed ora l’ho fatto venire, ed è stato per desolare, e per ridurre in mucchi di ruine le città forti.
Porventura não ouviste que já dantes fiz isto, e já desde os dias antigos o planejei? Agora, porém, o fiz vir, para que fosses tu que reduzisses as cidades fortificadas a montões desertos.
『你豈沒有聽見 我早先所定、古時所立、現今實現的事嗎? 就是讓你去毀壞堅固的城鎮,使它們變為廢墟;
