²⁵ I will crush the Assyrian^(A) in my land;
    on my mountains I will trample him down.
His yoke^(B) will be taken from my people,
    and his burden removed from their shoulders.^(C)”

⁶ I was angry^(A) with my people
    and desecrated my inheritance;^(B)
I gave them into your hand,^(C)
    and you showed them no mercy.^(D)
Even on the aged
    you laid a very heavy yoke.

² Shake off your dust;^(A)
    rise up,^(B) sit enthroned, Jerusalem.
Free yourself from the chains on your neck,^(C)
    Daughter Zion,^(D) now a captive.
