²⁵ I will crush the Assyrian^(A) in my land;
    on my mountains I will trample him down.
His yoke^(B) will be taken from my people,
    and his burden removed from their shoulders.^(C)”

²⁷ In that day^(A) their burden^(B) will be lifted from your shoulders,
    their yoke^(C) from your neck;^(D)
the yoke^(E) will be broken
    because you have grown so fat.^[a]

How the oppressor^(C) has come to an end!
    How his fury^[a] has ended!

²⁶ I will make your oppressors^(A) eat^(B) their own flesh;
    they will be drunk on their own blood,^(C) as with wine.
Then all mankind will know^(D)
    that I, the Lord, am your Savior,^(E)
    your Redeemer,^(F) the Mighty One of Jacob.^(G)”
