24 The LORD of the hosts has sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand: 25 That I will break the Assyrian in my land and upon my mountains tread him under foot; then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.
26 This is the counsel that is purposed upon the whole earth; and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the Gentiles. 27 For the LORD of the hosts has purposed, and who shall disannul it? His hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
