The Assyrian soldiers will die in battle. But humans did not make the sword that will kill them. It is God's sword that will destroy them. The Assyrians will run away from that sword. But their strong young men will have to do hard work as slaves. Their strongest soldiers will run away because they are afraid. The officers of their army will be afraid when they see the Lord's battle flag.’

    whose fire(J) is in Zion,
    whose furnace(K) is in Jerusalem.
