24The LORD of Hosts has sworn, saying: "Just as I have resolved, so it shall be; and just as I have purposed, it shall arise."25To break Assyria in my land and to trample him upon my mountains, so that his yoke will be removed from them and his burden from his shoulder.26This is the counsel that has been advised concerning all the land, and this is the hand that has been stretched out over all the nations.27For the LORD of Hosts has advised, and who can annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?
