12 Thus says the Lord,
“Though they are at full strength and many,
    (A)they will be cut down and pass away.
(B)Though I have afflicted you,
    I will afflict you no more.
13 And now (C)I will break his yoke from off you
    and will burst your bonds apart.”

Though once they were a healthy and numerous force,

13 Now I will break off his yoke from you
        and tear off your chains.
