22 “And I will rise up against them,”

⌊declares⌋l Yahweh of hosts,

“and I will cut off name and a remnant from Babylon,

and offspring and posterity,”

⌊declares⌋m Yahweh.

23 “And I will make her a possession of the hedgehog,

and pools of water,

and I will sweep her away with the broom of destruction,”

⌊declares⌋n Yahweh of hosts.

Oracle of Judgment on Assyria

24 Yahweh of hosts has sworn, saying,

“⌊Surely⌋o 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 hisp shoulders.”q

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?
