⁸ “Assyria^(A) will fall by no human sword;
    a sword, not of mortals, will devour^(B) them.
They will flee before the sword
    and their young men will be put to forced labor.^(C)

⁹ Their stronghold^(A) will fall because of terror;
    at the sight of the battle standard^(B) their commanders will panic,^(C)”
declares the Lord,
    whose fire^(D) is in Zion,
    whose furnace^(E) is in Jerusalem.
