^{24 Ref} Yahweh of Hosts has sworn, saying, Surely, as I have thought, so shall it happen; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

^{25 Ref} that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and on my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulder.

^{26 Ref} This is the purpose that is purposed on the whole earth; and this is the hand that is stretched out on all the nations.
