Assyria[a]

24 The Lord of hosts has sworn:
    As I have resolved, so will it be;
    as I have planned, so will it come to pass.
25 I will break the Assyrian in my land
    and trample him underfoot on my mountains;
his yoke will be lifted from my people,
    and his burden will be removed from their shoulders.
26 This is the plan that the Lord has prepared
    for the entire world,
and this is the hand that he has outstretched
    over all the nations.
