12 But the Lord says, “Assyria,
no matter how strong you are,
    you will be cut down!
My people Judah,
I have troubled you before,
    but I won't do it again.
13 I'll snap your chains
and set you free
    from the Assyrians.”

14 Assyria, this is what else

“Your name will be forgotten.
I will destroy every idol
    in your temple,
and I will send you to the grave,
    because you are worthless.”

“Although they have allies and are numerous,
    they will be destroyed(A) and pass away.
Although I have afflicted you, Judah,
    I will afflict you no more.(B)
13 Now I will break their yoke(C) from your neck
    and tear your shackles away.”(D)

14 The Lord has given a command concerning you, Nineveh:
    “You will have no descendants to bear your name.(E)
I will destroy the images(F) and idols
    that are in the temple of your gods.
I will prepare your grave,(G)
    for you are vile.”
