25 My indignation will come to an end in just a very little while,[a]
    and my anger will be directed to their destruction.”
26 And Yahweh of hosts is going to swing a whip against him,
    as when Midian was defeated at the rock of Oreb;
and his staff will be over the sea,
    and he will lift him up as he did in Egypt.[b]

27 And this shall happen: on that day,

he will remove his burden from your shoulder
    and his yoke from your neck,
    and a yoke will be destroyed because of fat.[c]
