8 “Then Assyria shall fall by a sword not of man,And a sword not of mankind shall devour him.But he shall flee from the sword,And his young men shall become forced labor.
9 He shall cross over to his stronghold for fear,And his princes shall be afraid of the banner,”Says the Lord,Whose fire is in ZionAnd whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
