Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it.

Verse 32 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.

Darum spricht der HERR vom König von Assyrien also: Er soll nicht in diese Stadt kommen und keinen Pfeil hineinschießen und mit keinem Schilde davonkommen und soll keinen Wall darum schütten;
Por tanto, Jehová dice así del rey de Asiria: No entrará en esta ciudad, ni echará saeta en ella; ni vendrá delante de ella escudo, ni será echado contra ella baluarte.
C'est pourquoi ainsi parle l'Eternel sur le roi d'Assyrie: Il n'entrera point dans cette ville, Il n'y lancera point de traits, Il ne lui présentera point de boucliers, Et il n'élèvera point de retranchements contre elle.
Perciò il Signore ha detto così intorno al re degli Assiri: Egli non entrerà in questa città, e non vi tirerà dentro alcuna saetta, e non verrà all’assalto contro ad essa con iscudi, e non farà alcun argine contro ad essa.
Portanto, assim diz o SENHOR acerca do rei da Assíria: Não entrará nesta cidade, nem lançará nela flecha alguma; tampouco virá perante ela com escudo, nem levantará contra ela trincheira alguma.
「所以耶和華論 亞述 王如此說:他必不得來到這城,也不在這裏射箭,不得拿盾牌到城前,也不建土堆攻城。
