23 I will also make it a possession for the hedgehogand pools of water,and I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,says the Lord of Hosts.
24 The Lord of Hosts has sworn, saying: Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass,and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
25 that I will break the Assyrian in My land,and on My mountains tread him under foot.Then shall his yoke depart from off themand his burden depart from off their shoulders.
26 This is the purpose that is purposed on the whole earth,and this is the hand that is stretched out on all the nations.
27 For the Lord of Hosts has purposed, and who shall disannul it?And His hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
28 In the year that King Ahaz died was this oracle:
29 Rejoice not, O Philistia, all of you,because the rod that struck you is broken;for out of the serpent’s root shall come forth a viper,and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.
