Warnings to Assyria and Promises to God’s People

33 How terrible it will be for you who destroy others
    but have not been destroyed yet.
How terrible it will be for you, traitor,
    whom no one has turned against yet.
When you stop destroying,
    others will destroy you.
When you stop turning against others,

Your powerful voice makes people run away in fear;
    your greatness causes the nations to run away.
