English Standard Version
2 (A)In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, because they had been unfaithful to the Lord, (B)Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem 3 with 1,200 chariots and 60,000 horsemen. And the people were without number who came with him from Egypt—(C)Libyans, Sukkiim, and Ethiopians. 4 And he took (D)the fortified cities of Judah and came as far as Jerusalem. 5 Then (E)Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and to the princes of Judah, who had gathered at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, “Thus says the Lord, (F)‘You abandoned me, so I have abandoned you to the hand of Shishak.’” 6 Then the princes of (G)Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, (H)“The Lord is righteous.” 7 When the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah: (I)“They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance, (J)and my wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. 8 Nevertheless, they shall be servants to him, (K)that they may know my service and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.”

24 The Lord of hosts has sworn:
(A)“As I have planned,
so shall it be,
and as I have purposed,
so shall it stand,
25 that (B)I will break the Assyrian in my land,
and on my mountains trample him underfoot;
and (C)his yoke shall depart from them,
and (D)his burden from their shoulder.”
26 This is the purpose that is purposed
concerning the whole earth,
and this is (E)the hand that is stretched out
over all the nations.

and who will annul it?
(G)His hand is stretched out,
and who will turn it back?
