³¹ For ^(A)through the voice of the Lord
Assyria will be ^[a]beaten down,
As He strikes with the ^(B)rod.

⁵ And this One ^(A)shall be peace.

When the Assyrian comes into our land,
And when he treads in our palaces,
Then we will raise against him
Seven shepherds and eight princely men.
⁶ They shall ^[a]waste with the sword the land of Assyria,
And the land of ^(B)Nimrod at its entrances;
Thus He shall ^(C)deliver us from the Assyrian,
When he comes into our land
And when he treads within our borders.

⁴ But ^(A)with righteousness He shall judge the poor,
And decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
He shall ^(B)strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,
And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.

⁵ “Woe to Assyria, ^(A)the rod of My anger
And the staff in whose hand is My indignation.

⁴ For You have broken the yoke of his burden
And the staff of his shoulder,
The rod of his oppressor,
As in the day of ^(A)Midian.

³² For out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant,
And those who escape from Mount Zion.
The ^(A)zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

^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.
