Though they are at full strength and many,[a]

Though I have afflicted you,
    I will afflict you no more.(A)
13 And now I will break off his yoke from you
    and snap the bonds that bind you.(B)

The Lord’s Rebuke to Assyria

12 This is what the Lord says:
“No matter how strong they are,[a]

        they will surely be annihilated[b] and pass away.
Though I have afflicted you,[c]

13 Now I will break off Assyria’s[d] yoke from you,
    and tear apart your shackles.”
