23. For a complete destruction, as decreed, will Adonai Elohei-Tzva’ot make throughout the whole land.
24. Therefore thus says Adonai Elohei-Tzva’ot: “O My people dwelling in Zion, do not be afraid of Assyria, though he strike you with the war-club, and lift up his rod against you, as Egypt did.
25. “For in a very little while My indignation against you will be spent, and My anger will turn to their destruction.”
26. Adonai-Tzva’ot will stir up against him a scourge, as in the slaughter of Midian at the Rock of Oreb. As His staff was over the sea, so will He lift it up, as He did in Egypt.
