Contextual Overview
21Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent a message to Hezekiah: “The Lord, the God of Israel, says, ‘Because you prayed to me about King Sennacherib of Assyria, 22this is the word the Lord has spoken against him: 23Who is it you have mocked and blasphemed?Against whom have you raised your voiceand lifted your eyes in pride?Against the Holy One of Israel! 24You have mocked the Lord through your servants.You have said, “With my many chariotsI have gone up to the heights of the mountains,to the far recesses of Lebanon.I cut down its tallest cedars,its choice cypress trees.I came to its distant heights,its densest forest. 25I dug wells and drank water in foreign lands.I dried up all the streams of Egyptwith the soles of my feet.” 26Have you not heard?I designed it long ago;I planned it in days gone by.I have now brought it to pass,and you have crushed fortified citiesinto piles of rubble. 27Their inhabitants have become powerless,dismayed, and ashamed.They are plants of the field,tender grass,grass on the rooftops,blasted by the east wind. 28But I know your sitting down,your going out and your coming in,and your raging against me. 29Because your raging against meand your arrogance have reached my ears,I will put my hook in your noseand my bit in your mouth;I will make you go backthe way you came. 30“‘This will be the sign for you: This year you will eat what grows on its own, and in the second year what grows from that. But in the third year sow and reap, plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
By the way that he came, by the same shall he return,.... Without executing his designs on Jerusalem, or other places; he shall lose his labour, and make the best of his way to his own country, without turning to the right or left, in order to disturb other nations, and enlarge his kingdom, being quite dispirited and confounded by what he shall meet with:
and shall not come into this city, saith the Lord; or, unto this city, as before; which is repeated to confirm it, and to show the certainty of it.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
By the way that he came - (Isaiah 37:29; compare Isaiah 37:37).
And shall not come into this city - (Isaiah 37:33; compare Isaiah 29:6-8).
