ESVEnglish Standard Version

“And the Assyrian shall fall by a sword, not of man;

and a sword, not of man, shall devour him;

and he shall flee from the sword,

and his young men shall be put to forced labor.

His rock shall pass away in terror,

and his officers desert the standard in panic,”

declares the Lord, whose fire is in Zion,

and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“Assyria will fall by no human sword;

a sword, not of mortals, will devour them.

They will flee before the sword

and their young men will be put to forced labor.

Their stronghold will fall because of terror;

at the sight of the battle standard their commanders will panic,”

declares the Lord,

whose fire is in Zion,

whose furnace is in Jerusalem.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Then Assyria will fall,

but not by human sword;

a sword will devour him,

but not one made by man.

He will flee from the sword;

his young men will be put to forced labor.

His rock will pass away because of fear,

and his officers will be afraid because of the signal flag.

This is the Lord’s declaration—whose fire is in Zion and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.

NLTNew Living Translation

“The Assyrians will be destroyed,

but not by the swords of men.

The sword of God will strike them,

and they will panic and flee.

The strong young Assyrians

will be taken away as captives.

Even the strongest will quake with terror,

and princes will flee when they see your battle flags,”

says the Lord, whose fire burns in Zion,

whose flame blazes from Jerusalem.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

And Assyria shall fall by a sword not of a man,

and a sword not of a human shall devour him;

and he shall flee from the sword,

and his young men shall be put to forced labor.

And his rock will pass over because of terror,

and his officers will be terrified because of the flag,”

declares Yahweh,

who has a fire in Zion

and has a furnace in Jerusalem.

KJV 1900King James Version

Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man;

And the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him:

But he shall flee from the sword,

And his young men shall be discomfited.

And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear,

And his princes shall be afraid of the ensign,

Saith the Lord, whose fire is in Zion,

And his furnace in Jerusalem.
