Then his yoke will leave them, and his burden leave their shoulders. 26 This is the plan that is determined for the whole earth. This is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations. 27 For Yahweh of Armies has planned, and who can stop it? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?”

An Oracle Concerning Assyria

24 The Lord of hosts has sworn:
(A)“As I have planned,
    so shall it be,
and as I have purposed,
    so shall it stand,
25 that (B)I will break the Assyrian in my land,
    and on my mountains trample him underfoot;
and (C)his yoke shall depart from them,
    and (D)his burden from their shoulder.”

    concerning the whole earth,
and this is (E)the hand that is stretched out
    over all the nations.

    and who will annul it?
(G)His hand is stretched out,
    and who will turn it back?
