22 aFor though your people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea,
bA remnant of them will return;
The destruction decreed shall overflow with righteousness.
bA remnant of them will return;
The destruction decreed shall overflow with righteousness.
24 Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts: “O My people, who dwell in Zion, ado not be afraid of the Assyrian. He shall strike you with a rod and lift up his staff against you, in the manner of bEgypt.
25 For yet a very little while aand the indignation will cease, as will My anger in their destruction.”
26 And the Lord of hosts will1 stir up aa scourge for him like the slaughter of bMidian at the rock of Oreb; cas His rod was on the sea, so will He lift it up in the manner of Egypt.
27 It shall come to pass in that day
That his burden will be taken away from your shoulder,
And his yoke from your neck,
And the yoke will be destroyed because of athe anointing oil.
That his burden will be taken away from your shoulder,
And his yoke from your neck,
And the yoke will be destroyed because of athe anointing oil.
