Ich habe gegraben und getrunken quillendes Wasser und will austrocknen mit den Tritten meines Fußballens alle Teiche der Belagerung.

Sennacherib became haughty in front of the Place only due to an emissary*The Hebrew word מלאך (emissary) can refer to either an emissary of man (a messenger) or an emissary of God (an angel); both senses are employed below., as it is said (2 Kings 19:23-24), "Through your emissaries (מַלְאָכֶ֘יךָ֮) you taunted the Lord, etc., [saying,] 'I have bore (i.e., dug for water) and I have drunk strange waters [and the soles of my feet have dried up all the canals of Metzor]." Therefore the Holy One, Blessed be He, did not destroy him with anything but an emissary, as it is said (2 Kings 19:35), "And it happened on that night, that an emissary (מַלְאַ֣ךְ) of the Lord went out and slew the Assyrian camp, etc." And all of them (i.e., the slain) were kings with crowns affixed to their heads.
