Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.

Verse 7 is found in chapter 19 of 2 Kings. Hezekiah tears his clothes and enters the temple while sending his officials to consult Isaiah. The prophet responds that the king of Assyria will receive a report that will cause him to return to his own land, where he will die. The situation apparently dominated by Assyria begins to change through a word whose fulfillment is not yet visible. The passage shows a form of leadership different from immediate military reaction: in the face of an extreme threat, Hezekiah brings the crisis to God and seeks prophetic interpretation. Hope is founded on the word of the Lord, not on Judah’s military superiority.

Siehe, ich will ihm einen Geist geben, daß er ein Gerücht hören wird und wieder in sein Land ziehen, und will ihn durchs Schwert fällen in seinem Lande.
He aquí pondré yo en él un espíritu, y oirá rumor, y volverase a su tierra: y yo haré que en su tierra caiga a cuchillo.
Mira, pondré en él un espíritu; oirá una noticia y regresará a su tierra. Allí haré que caiga a espada».
Je vais mettre en lui un esprit tel que, sur une nouvelle qu'il recevra, il retournera dans son pays; et je le ferai tomber par l'épée dans son pays.
Ecco, io di presente metterò un tale spirito in lui, che, intendendo un certo grido, egli ritornerà al suo paese, ed io lo farò cadere per la spada nel suo paese
Eis que porei nele um espírito, e ele ouvirá um rumor, e voltará para a sua terra; à espada o farei cair na sua terra.
看哪,我必驚動他的心 ,他要聽見風聲就歸回本地,在那裏我必使他倒在刀下。』」
