23. For the Lord God of hosts will make a full end, as decreed, in the midst of all the earth.
24. Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts: “O my people, who dwell in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrians when they strike with the rod and lift up their staff against you as the Egyptians did.
25. For in a very little while my fury will come to an end, and my anger will be directed to their destruction.
26. And the Lord of hosts will wield against them a whip, as when he struck Midian at the rock of Oreb. And his staff will be over the sea, and he will lift it as he did in Egypt.
