God Will Punish Assyria

24 The Lord All-Powerful has made this promise:

“These things will happen exactly as I planned them;
    they will happen exactly as I set them up.
25 I will destroy the king of Assyria in my country;
    I will trample him on my mountains.
He placed a heavy load on my people,
    but that weight will be removed.

26 “This is what I plan to do for all the earth.
    And this is the hand that I have raised over all nations.”

27 When the Lord All-Powerful makes a plan,
    no one can stop it.
When the Lord raises his hand to punish people,
    no one can stop it.

    on my mountains I will trample him down.
His yoke(E) will be taken from my people,
    and his burden removed from their shoulders.(F)

26 This is the plan(G) determined for the whole world;
    this is the hand(H) stretched out over all nations.
27 For the Lord Almighty has purposed,(I) and who can thwart him?
    His hand(J) is stretched out, and who can turn it back?(K)
