“The Assyrians will be destroyed,
    but not by the swords of men.
The sword of God will strike them,
    and they will panic and flee.
The strong young Assyrians

    and princes will flee when they see your battle flags,”

    whose flame blazes from Jerusalem.

        and whose oven is in Jerusalem.
