²⁴ Therefore thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of ^[a]the Assyrian, though he smite thee with the rod, and lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt. ²⁵ For yet a very little while, and the indignation against thee shall be accomplished, and mine anger shall be directed to his destruction. ²⁶ And Jehovah of hosts will stir up against him a scourge, as in the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and ^[b]his rod will be over the sea, and he will lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
