²⁵ I will break Assyria^(A) in my land;
I will tread him down on my mountain.
Then his yoke will be taken from them,
and his burden will be removed from their shoulders.

¹³ Beware, I am against you.^(A)
This is the declaration of the Lord of Armies.
I will make your chariots go up in smoke,^[a]
and the sword will devour your young lions.^(B)
I will cut off your prey from the earth,
and the sound of your messengers
will never be heard again.^(C)
