“Surely, as I have planned,^(B) so it will be,
    and as I have purposed, so it will happen.^(C)
25 I will crush the Assyrian^(D) in my land;
    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)

¹¹ You built a reservoir between the two walls^(A)
    for the water of the Old Pool,^(B)
but you did not look to the One who made it,
    or have regard^(C) for the One who planned^(D) it long ago.

²⁶ “Have you not heard?
    Long ago I ordained^(A) it.
In days of old I planned^(B) it;
    now I have brought it to pass,
that you have turned fortified cities
    into piles of stone.^(C)

⁸ “Remember^(A) this, keep it in mind,
    take it to heart, you rebels.^(B)
9 Remember the former things,^(C) those of long ago;^(D)
    I am God, and there is no other;
    I am God, and there is none like me.^(E)
10 I make known the end from the beginning,^(F)
    from ancient times,^(G) what is still to come.^(H)
I say, ‘My purpose will stand,^(I)
    and I will do all that I please.’
