Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.

The verse 27 is found in chapter 37 of Isaiah. Isaiah announces the divine response: Jerusalem will be preserved and Sennacherib will not enter it. The explanation attributes Assyria’s defeat to Yahweh’s intervention rather than Judah’s military ability. The account ends with Sennacherib’s assassination within his own religious context, emphasizing the reversal of imperial power.

und ihre Einwohner schwach und zaghaft werden und mit Schanden bestehen und werden wie das Feldgras und wie das grüne Kraut, wie Gras auf den Dächern, welches verdorrt, ehe es denn reif wird.
Y sus moradores, cortos de manos, quebrantados y confusos, serán como grama del campo y hortaliza verde, como hierba de los tejados, que antes de sazón se seca.
Sus habitantes, faltos de fuerzas, quedaron acobardados y avergonzados. Fueron como la hierba del campo, como los brotes verdes, como la hierba de los tejados y como un sembrado antes de que el grano se alce.
Leurs habitants sont impuissants, Epouvantés et confus; Ils sont comme l'herbe des champs et la tendre verdure, Comme le gazon des toits Et le blé qui sèche avant la formation de sa tige.
E gli abitanti di esse, scemi di forza, sono stati spaventati e confusi; sono stati come l’erba de’ campi, e come la verzura dell’erbetta, e come il fieno de’ tetti, e come le biade riarse, avanti che sieno salite in ispiga.
Por isso os seus moradores, dispondo de pouca força, andaram atemorizados e envergonhados; tornaram-se como a erva do campo, e a relva verde, e o feno dos telhados, e o trigo queimado antes da seara.
城裏居民的力量甚小, 他們驚惶羞愧; 像野草,像青菜, 如房頂上的草, 被東風颳散 。
