ASSYRIA WILL BE DESTROYED

24 The Lord of Armies has sworn:

As I have purposed, so it will be;

as I have planned it, so it will happen.j

25 I will break Assyriak 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 planl prepared

for the whole earth,

and this is the hand stretched out

against all the nations.

27 The Lord of Armies himself has planned it;

therefore, who can stand in its way?

It is his hand that is outstretched,

so who can turn it back?
