·The time is coming when [L For in that day] each of you will ·stop worshiping [throw/cast away] idols of gold and silver, which ·you sinned by making [your sinful hands have made].

“Assyria will ·be defeated [fall] by a sword, but not ·the sword of a person [of man];
    Assyria will be ·destroyed [devoured], but not by a person’s sword.
Assyria will run away from the ·sword of God [L sword],
    but its young men will be caught and made slaves.
·They will panic, and [From terror] their ·protection [or strong ones; rock] will be destroyed.
    Their ·commanders [officers; princes] will be terrified when they see ·God’s battle flag [L the standard/flag],”
says the Lord,
    whose fire is in ·Jerusalem [L Zion; 1:27]
and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
