24 The Lord Almighty has sworn,(A)

“Surely, as I have planned,(B) so it will be,
    and as I have purposed, so it will happen.(C)
25 I will crush the Assyrian(D) in my land;
    on my mountains I will trample him down.
His yoke(E) will be taken from my people,
    and his burden removed from their shoulders.(F)

26 This is the plan(G) determined for the whole world;
    this is the hand(H) stretched out over all nations.
27 For the Lord Almighty has purposed,(I) and who can thwart him?
    His hand(J) is stretched out, and who can turn it back?(K)

24 The Lord of Hosts has sworn:

As I have purposed, so it will be;
as I have planned it, so it will happen.(A)
25 I will break Assyria(B) in My land;
I will tread him down on My mountain.
Then his yoke will be taken from them,
and his burden will be removed from their shoulders.
26 This is the plan(C) prepared

and this is the hand stretched out
against all the nations.

therefore, who can stand in its way?
It is His hand that is outstretched,
so who can turn it back?
