Will send leanness among his fat ones;
And under his glory
He will kindle a burning
Like the burning of a fire.

And Isaiah said to them, “Thus you shall say to your master, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Do not be afraid of the words which you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me. Surely I will send a spirit upon him, and he shall hear a rumor and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.” ’ ”

Impending Judgment on Zion

10 “Now(A) I will rise,” says the Lord;
“Now I will be exalted,
Now I will lift Myself up.
11 (B)You shall conceive chaff,
You shall bring forth stubble;
Your breath, as fire, shall devour you.
12 And the people shall be like the burnings of lime;
(C)Like thorns cut up they shall be burned in the fire.
13 Hear, (D)you who are afar off, what I have done;
And you who are near, acknowledge My might.”

14 The sinners in Zion are afraid;
Fearfulness has seized the hypocrites:
“Who among us shall dwell with the devouring (E)fire?
Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?”

30 (A)The Lord will cause His glorious voice to be heard,
And show the descent of His arm,
With the indignation of His anger
And the flame of a devouring fire,
With scattering, tempest, (B)and hailstones.
31 For (C)through the voice of the Lord
Assyria will be [a]beaten down,
As He strikes with the (D)rod.
32 And in every place where the staff of punishment passes,
Which the Lord lays on him,
It will be with tambourines and harps;
And in battles of (E)brandishing He will fight with it.
33 (F)For Tophet was established of old,
Yes, for the king it is prepared.
He has made it deep and large;
Its pyre is fire with much wood;
The breath of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone,
Kindles it.

And his soul still craves:
So the multitude of all the nations shall be,
Who fight against Mount Zion.”

Assyria Destroyed

24 The Lord of hosts has sworn, saying,
“Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass,
And as I have purposed, so it shall (A)stand:
25 That I will break the (B)Assyrian in My land,
And on My mountains tread him underfoot.
Then (C)his yoke shall be removed from them,
And his burden removed from their shoulders.
26 This is the (D)purpose that is purposed against the whole earth,
And this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.

And who will annul it?
His hand is stretched out,
And who will turn it back?”
