20It shall happen on that day that the remnant of Israel and the survivor of the house of Jacob will no longer lean again upon the one who struck him, but will lean upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in faithfulness.21A remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to God the Mighty One.22For even if your people Israel should be like the sand of the sea, only a remnant will return within it; a decreed end, overflowing with righteousness.23For the Lord GOD of Hosts is making a complete and decisive end in the midst of all the land.24Therefore thus says the Lord GOD of Hosts: O my people who dwell in Zion, do not fear Assyria; though he strikes you with the rod and lifts his rod against you in the manner of Egypt.25Yet in a very little while the indignation will come to an end, and my anger will turn to their destruction.26And the LORD of Hosts will raise up against him a whip like the blow against Midian at the rock of Oreb; he will lift his rod over the sea and raise it in the manner of Egypt.27It shall happen on that day that his burden shall be removed from your shoulder and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke shall be broken because of the oil.28He came to Ai; he passed through Migron; at Michmash he will muster his equipment.29They crossed the ford; Geba became a lodging place for us; Ramah trembled; Gibeah of Saul fled.30Cry aloud with your voice, O daughter of Gallim; listen, O afflicted Laishah; Anathoth.31Madmenah has fled; the inhabitants of Gebim have sought refuge.32This very day he will still stand at Nob to wave his hand against the mountain of the house of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.33Behold, the Lord, the LORD of Hosts, lops off the bough with terror; the tall of stature are cut down, and the lofty are brought low.34He will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon will fall by a majestic one.
