¹⁸ He will completely destroy the beauty
    of their forests and rich farm lands.
The Assyrian army will be like a sick person
    who becomes weaker and weaker.
¹⁹ It will be like the trees of their forests.
    So few of them will be left standing
    that even a child could count them.

²⁰ In days to come, some people will still be left alive in Israel.
    They will be from Jacob’s family line.
But they won’t depend any longer on
    the nation that struck them down.
Instead, they will truly depend on the Lord.
    He is the Holy One of Israel.
