24
The Lord Almighty has sworn,
"Surely, as I have planned, so it will be,
and as I have purposed, so it will happen.
25
I will crush the Assyrian in my land;
on my mountains I will trample him down.
His yoke will be taken from my people,
and his burden removed from their shoulders."
26
This is the plan determined for the whole world;
this is the hand stretched out over all nations.
27
For the Lord Almighty has purposed, and who can thwart him?
His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?
