Eternal One: And then, the one you fear, Assyria, will fall and be defeated,
        not by the sword of man but by the sword of God.
    It will try to escape the edge of the blade,
        but its young men will be captured and put to forced labor.

    at the sight of the battle standard(H) their commanders will panic,(I)

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