Oracle of Judgment on Assyria

24 Yahweh of hosts has sworn, saying,

Surely[a] 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 his[b] shoulders.”[c]
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.
