Promise of Judah’s Deliverance

12 This is what the Lord says:

Though they are strong[a] and numerous,
they will still be mowed down,
and he[b] will pass away.
Though I have afflicted you,[c](A)
I will afflict you no longer.(B)
13 For I will now break off his yoke from you
and tear off your shackles.

Yahweh Will Deliver Judah and Destroy Nineveh

12 Yahweh says this:

“Even though they are powerful and likewise many,
    even so they will be cut off and pass away.
Though I have afflicted you,[a]
    I will afflict you[b] no longer.
13 And now, I will break his yoke from upon you;
    I will snap your bonds.”
