12 So it will be that when the Lord has completed all His (A)work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, He will say, “I will [a]punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and (B)the pomp of [b]his haughtiness.” 13 For (C)he has said,

“By the power of my hand and by my wisdom I did this,
For I have understanding;
And I (D)removed the boundaries of the peoples
And plundered their treasures,
And like a mighty man I brought down [c]their inhabitants,
14 And my hand reached to the riches of the peoples like a (E)nest,
And as one gathers abandoned eggs, I gathered all the earth;
And there was not one that flapped its wing or opened its beak or chirped.”
