Just as caterpillars and locusts strip the fields and vines,
    so the fallen army of Assyria will be stripped!

Though the Lord is very great and lives in heaven,
    he will make Jerusalem[a] his home of justice and righteousness.
In that day he will be your sure foundation,
    providing a rich store of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge.
    The fear of the Lord will be your treasure.
