For on that day
    all of you will cast away
your idols of silver and your false gods of gold
    which your own sinful hands have made.

Destruction of Assyria

Then Assyria will fall by a sword not brandished by a man
    and be devoured by a sword that no human yields;
he will flee before the sword,
    and his young warriors will endure forced labor.

    and his commanders will panic and desert him.
Thus says the Lord whose fire is in Zion
    and whose furnace burns in Jerusalem.
