Promise of Judah’s Deliverance

¹²This is what the Lord says:

Though they are strong^[a] and numerous,
they will still be mowed down,
and he^[b] will pass away.
Though I have punished you,^[c]^(A)
I will punish you no longer.^(B)
¹³For I will now break off his yoke from you
and tear off your shackles.

The Assyrian King’s Demise

¹⁴The Lord has issued an order concerning you:

There will be no offspring
to carry on your name.^[d]^(C)
I will eliminate the carved idol and cast image
from the house of your gods;^(D)
I will prepare your grave,
for you are contemptible.
