19:7a Behold, I will put a spirit in him so that he will hear a rumor and return to his own land,

Look!/Listen! The Assyrian king will hear a rumor. I will make him respond by returning to his own country.

-or-

⌊But⌋ just watch/wait! The king of Assyria will hear some news and I will cause him to react by going back to his own land.

19:7b where I will cause him to fall by the sword.’”

The Hebrew word that the Berean Standard Bible translates as “where” is literally “in his own land.” Consider if such a repetition is natural in your language.

And/Then I will have him killed with the sword in his own land.’”

-or-

⌊When he gets/arrives⌋ there, I will cause him to meet a violent end/death.”
