Assyria Will Be Destroyed

24 The Lord of Armies has sworn:

As I have purposed, so it will be;
as I have planned it, so it will happen.(A)
25 I will break Assyria(B) in my land;
I will tread him down on my mountain.
Then his yoke will be taken from them,
and his burden will be removed from their shoulders.
26 This is the plan(C) prepared
for the whole earth,
and this is the hand stretched out
against all the nations.
27 The Lord of Armies himself has planned it;
therefore, who can stand in its way?
It is his hand that is outstretched,
so who can turn it back?

Judgment on Assyria

24 The Lord of armies has sworn, saying, “Certainly, (A)just as I have intended, so it has happened, and just as I have planned, so it will stand, 25 to (B)break Assyria in My land, and I will trample him on My mountains. Then his (C)yoke will be removed from them, and his burden removed from their shoulders. 26 This is the (D)plan [a]devised against the entire earth; and this is the (E)hand that is stretched out against all the nations. 27 For (F)the Lord of armies has planned, and who can frustrate it? And as for His stretched-out hand, who can turn it back?”
