God Will Punish Assyria

24 The Lord of heaven’s armies has made this promise:

“These things will happen exactly as I planned them.
    These things will happen exactly as I set them up.
25 I will destroy the king of Assyria in my country.
    I will trample him on my mountains.
He put a heavy load on my people.
    But that weight will be removed.

26 “This is what I plan to do against all the earth.
    I will raise my hand to strike down all nations.”

“Surely, as I have planned,(B) so it will be,
    and as I have purposed, so it will happen.(C)
25 I will crush the Assyrian(D) in my land;
    on my mountains I will trample him down.
His yoke(E) will be taken from my people,
    and his burden removed from their shoulders.(F)

26 This is the plan(G) determined for the whole world;
    this is the hand(H) stretched out over all nations.
