“You can be sure that what I have planned will happen.
    What I have decided will take place.
²⁵ I will crush the Assyrians in my land.
    On my mountains I will walk all over them.
The yokes they put on my people will be removed.
    The heavy load they put on their shoulders will be taken away.”

²⁶ That’s how the Lord carries out his plan all over the world.
    That’s how he reaches out his powerful hand to punish all the nations.
