Hast thou not heard long ago, how I have done it, and of anient times that I have formed it? now have I brought it to passe that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps] Or, Hast thou not heard, how I have made it long ago, and formed it of anient times? should I now bring it to be laid waste, and fenced cities to be ruinous heaps? Hast thou not heard] The prophet changeth the person, and bringeth in God, answering the proud brags of Sennacherib. how I have done it] God chalengeth that to be his own work, which Sennacherib arrogateth to himself. See Isai. 10. 5, 7, 13, 15.
