The Almighty Lord says,

‘Long ago, my people went to live for some time in Egypt.
    At a later time, Assyria's army was cruel to them.
But now, what is happening?
An enemy has taken my people away as slaves,
    for no good reason.[a]
Their leaders boast loudly,
    and they insult me all the time.
So I will cause my people to know my name.
When all this happens, they will know
    that I am the God who speaks to them.
I tell them that I am with them.’
