    the man for my purpose from a far country.
I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass;
    I have planned, and I will do it.^(A)

¹⁹ God is not a human being, that he should lie,
    or a mortal, that he should change his mind.

    Has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?^(A)

²⁴ The Lord of hosts has sworn:
As I have designed,
    so shall it be,
and as I have planned,
    so shall it come to pass:^(A)
25 I will break the Assyrian in my land
    and on my mountains trample him under foot;
his yoke shall be removed from them
    and his burden from their shoulders.^(B)
26 This is the plan that is planned
    concerning the whole earth,
and this is the hand that is stretched out
    over all the nations.^(C)
27 For the Lord of hosts has planned,
    and who will annul it?
His hand is stretched out,
    and who will turn it back?^(D)

¹³ But he stands alone, and who can dissuade him?
    What he desires, that he does.^(A)

¹⁵ But what can I say? For he has spoken to me,
    and he himself has done it.
All my sleep has fled^[a]
    because of the bitterness of my soul.^(A)

²⁴ Your decrees are my delight;
    they are my counselors.^(A)
