The time is coming when each of you will stop worshiping idols of gold and silver, which you sinned by making.

“Assyria will be defeated by a sword, but not the sword of a person;
    Assyria will be destroyed, but not by a person’s sword.
Assyria will run away from the sword of God,
    but its young men will be caught and made slaves.
They will panic, and their protection will be destroyed.
    Their commanders will be terrified when they see God’s battle flag,”
says the Lord,
    whose fire is in Jerusalem
    and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.

“Assyria(D) will fall by no human sword;
    a sword, not of mortals, will devour(E) them.
They will flee before the sword
    and their young men will be put to forced labor.(F)
Their stronghold(G) will fall because of terror;
    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.
