An Oracle Concerning Assyria

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.
27 (F)For the Lord of hosts has purposed,
    and who will annul it?
(G)His hand is stretched out,
    and who will turn it back?

25 For (A)in a very little while my fury will come to an end, and my anger will be directed to their destruction. 26 And (B)the Lord of hosts will wield against them a whip, as when he struck (C)Midian (D)at the rock of Oreb. And his staff will be over the sea, and he will lift it (E)as he did in Egypt. 27 And in that day (F)his burden will depart from your shoulder, and (G)his yoke from your neck; and the yoke will be broken because of the fat.”[a]

28 He has come to Aiath;
he has passed through (H)Migron;
    at Michmash he stores (I)his baggage;
29 they have crossed over (J)the pass;
    at (K)Geba they lodge for the night;
(L)Ramah trembles;
    (M)Gibeah of Saul has fled.
30 Cry aloud, O daughter of (N)Gallim!
    Give attention, O Laishah!
    O poor (O)Anathoth!
31 Madmenah is in flight;
    the inhabitants of Gebim flee for safety.
32 This very day he will halt at (P)Nob;
    he will shake his fist
    at the mount of (Q)the daughter of Zion,
    the hill of Jerusalem.

33 Behold, the Lord God of hosts
    (R)will lop (S)the boughs with terrifying power;
the great in height will be hewn down,
    and the lofty will be brought low.
34 He will cut down (T)the thickets of the forest with an axe,
