24 This is what the Lord God All-Powerful says:

“My people living in Jerusalem,
    don’t be afraid of the Assyrians,
who beat you with a rod
    and raise a stick against you, as Egypt did.
25 After a short time my anger against you will stop,
    and then I will turn my anger to destroying them.”

26 Then the Lord All-Powerful will beat the Assyrians with a whip
    as he defeated Midian at the rock of Oreb.
He will raise his stick over the waters
    as he did in Egypt.

“My people who live in Zion,(A)
    do not be afraid(B) of the Assyrians,
who beat(C) you with a rod(D)
    and lift up a club against you, as Egypt did.
25 Very soon(E) my anger against you will end
    and my wrath(F) will be directed to their destruction.(G)

26 The Lord Almighty will lash(H) them with a whip,
    as when he struck down Midian(I) at the rock of Oreb;
and he will raise his staff(J) over the waters,(K)
    as he did in Egypt.
