23 For the Lord GOD of the hosts shall make a consumption and an end in the midst of all the land.
24 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of the hosts, O my people, dweller of Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian; he shall smite thee with a rod and shall lift up his stick against thee by the way of Egypt;
25 yet from now until a very little while the indignation and my anger shall cease, to make an end of them.
26 And the Lord of the hosts shall raise up a scourge against him as the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb and shall raise up his rod upon the sea, by the way of Egypt.
27 And it shall come to pass in that day that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be consumed in the presence of the anointing.
28 He is come to Aiath; he is passed unto Migron; in Michmash he shall number his army:
29 They are gone over the fords; they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled.
