¹⁹ to those who say, “Let God hurry;
    let him hasten^(A) his work
    so we may see it.
The plan of the Holy One^(B) of Israel—
    let it approach, let it come into view,
    so we may know it.”^(C)

“Surely, as I have planned,^(B) so it will be,
    and as I have purposed, so it will happen.^(C)
25 I will crush the Assyrian^(D) in my land;
    on my mountains I will trample him down.
His yoke^(E) will be taken from my people,
    and his burden removed from their shoulders.^(F)”

²⁶ This is the plan^(G) determined for the whole world;
    this is the hand^(H) stretched out over all nations.
²⁷ For the Lord Almighty has purposed,^(I) and who can thwart him?
    His hand^(J) is stretched out, and who can turn it back?^(K)

¹² Where are your wise men^(A) now?
    Let them show you and make known
what the Lord Almighty
    has planned^(B) against Egypt.

⁹ The Lord Almighty planned^(A) it,
    to bring down^(B) her pride in all her splendor
    and to humble^(C) all who are renowned^(D) on the earth.

²¹ The Lord will rise up as he did at Mount Perazim,^(A)
    he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon^(B)—
to do his work,^(C) his strange work,
    and perform his task, his alien task.
