Oracle of Judgment on Assyria

24 Yahweh of hosts has sworn, saying,

Surely[a] just as I have intended, so it shall be.
    And just as I have planned, it shall stand:
25 to break Assyria in my land,
    and I will trample him down on my mountains;
and he shall remove his yoke from them,
    and he shall remove his burden from his[b] shoulders.”[c]
26 This is the plan that is planned concerning all of the earth;
    and this is the hand that is stretched out over all of the nations.
27 For Yahweh of hosts has planned, and who will frustrate it?
    And his hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?
