Yahweh will punish Assyria

24 The Commander of the armies of angels has also solemnly promised this:

“The things that I have planned will surely happen [DOU].

25 When the army of Assyria is in my land of Israel,

I will crush them.

It will be as though I will trample them on my mountains.

My people will no longer be the slaves [MET] of the people of Assyria;

it will be as though [MET] I will take away the burdens that are on their shoulders.

26 I have a plan for everyone on the earth,

a plan to show my power [MTY] to punish all the nations.

27 I, the Commander of the armies of angels, have spoken,

and no one can [RHQ] change my mind.

When I raise my fist to strike Assyria,

no one [RHQ] will be able to stop me from doing that.”
