The time is coming when each of you will stop worshiping the idols of gold and silver that you made. You truly sinned when you made them.

“Assyria will be defeated by a sword, but not the sword of a man.
    Assyria will be destroyed, but not by a man’s sword.
Assyria will run away from the sword of God.
    But their young men will be caught and made slaves.
They will panic, and their place of safety will be destroyed.
    Their commanders will be terrified when they see God’s battle flag.”
The Lord said all these things.
    The Lord’s fire is in Jerusalem.
    His furnace is in Jerusalem.

    at the sight of the battle standard(H) their commanders will panic,(I)
declares the Lord,
    whose fire(J) is in Zion,
    whose furnace(K) is in Jerusalem.
