24
The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has sworn this oath:
“It will all happen as I have planned.
It will be as I have decided.
25
I will break the Assyrians when they are in Israel;
I will trample them on my mountains.
My people will no longer be their slaves
nor bow down under their heavy loads.
26
I have a plan for the whole earth,
a hand of judgment upon all the nations.
27
The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has spoken -
who can change his plans?
When his hand is raised,
who can stop him?”
