⁸ Then Assyria will fall,
but not by human sword;
a sword will devour him,
but not one made by man.^(A)
He will flee from the sword;
his young men will be put to forced labour.^(B)

¹⁰ That day belongs to the Lord, the God of Armies,
a day of vengeance to avenge himself
against his adversaries.
The sword will devour and be satisfied;
it will drink its fill of their blood,
because it will be a sacrifice^(A) to the Lord, the God of Armies,
in the northern land by the River Euphrates.^(B)
