12 Thus says Yahweh,

“Though they are at full strength and likewise many,
Even so, they will be (A)cut off and pass away.
Though I have afflicted you,
I will afflict you (B)no longer.
13 So now, I will (C)break his yoke bar from upon you,
And I will break your bands apart.”

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