An Oracle Concerning Assyria

24 The Lord of Hosts has sworn, saying:

Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass,
    and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
25 that I will break the Assyrian in My land,
    and on My mountains tread him under foot.
Then shall his yoke depart from off them
    and his burden depart from off their shoulders.

26 This is the purpose that is purposed on the whole earth,
    and this is the hand that is stretched out on all the nations.
27 For the Lord of Hosts has purposed, and who shall disannul it?
    And His hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

Assyria Destroyed

24 The Lord of hosts has sworn, saying,
“Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass,
And as I have purposed, so it shall (A)stand:
25 That I will break the (B)Assyrian in My land,
And on My mountains tread him underfoot.
Then (C)his yoke shall be removed from them,
And his burden removed from their shoulders.
26 This is the (D)purpose that is purposed against the whole earth,
And this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.
27 For the Lord of hosts has (E)purposed,
And who will annul it?
His hand is stretched out,
And who will turn it back?”
