Yahweh’s Plan to Break Assyrian Rule

²⁴ Yahweh of hosts has sworn saying, “Surely, ^(A)just as I have intended so it has happened, and just as I have counseled so it will stand, ²⁵ to ^(B)break Assyria in My land, and I will trod him down on My mountains. Then his ^(C)yoke will be removed from them and his burden removed from their shoulder. ²⁶ This is the ^(D)counsel that is counseled against the whole earth; and this is the ^(E)hand that is stretched out against all the nations. ²⁷ For ^(F)Yahweh of hosts has counseled, and who can thwart it? And as for His stretched-out hand, who can turn it back?”
