⁵ Woe to ^(A)Assyria, the ^(B)rod of My anger
And the staff in whose hands is ^(C)My indignation,

⁵ They are coming from a far country,
From the ^(A)end of the sky,
Yahweh and His instruments of ^(B)indignation,
To ^(C)wreak destruction on the whole land.

² For the ^(A)indignation of Yahweh is against all the nations,
And His wrath against all their ^[a]hosts;
He has ^[b](B)devoted them to destruction;
He has given them over to ^(C)slaughter.

¹⁴ Then you will ^(A)see this, and your ^(B)heart will be joyful,
And your ^(C)bones will flourish like the new grass;
And the ^(D)hand of Yahweh will be made known to His slaves,
But He will be ^(E)indignant toward His enemies.
