“The Assyrian will fall by the sword, not of man;

    and the sword, not of mankind, shall devour him.
He will flee from the sword,
    and his young men will become subject to forced labor.
His rock will pass away by reason of terror,
    and his princes will be afraid of the banner,”
says Yahweh, whose fire is in Zion,
    and his furnace in Jerusalem.

“Then Assyria will fall by a sword
    that is not from human beings only[a]
        a sword not wielded by mortal beings will devour them.
They will flee from the sword,
    and their young men will be put to forced labor.
Their stronghold will vanish by reason of terror,
    and their commanders will be filled with alarm
        because of the battle standard,”

declares the Lord, whose fire is in Zion
    and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
