²⁴ The Lord of hosts has sworn:
As I have designed,
    so shall it be;
and as I have planned,
    so shall it come to pass:
²⁵ I will break the Assyrian in my land,
    and on my mountains trample him under foot;
his yoke shall be removed from them,
    and his burden from their shoulders.
²⁶ This is the plan that is planned
    concerning the whole earth;
and this is the hand that is stretched out
    over all the nations.
