God will also punish Assyria

v24 The *Lord (commander of heaven’s armies) makes a serious promise. ‘All will happen, *exactly as I have arranged. What I have decided to do, I shall certainly carry out. v25 I shall break up the *Assyrians who have been occupying my special land. They shall become like dirt upon my mountains. And my people shall never again be their slaves. v26 This is the plan that I have decided for the whole earth. I have raised my hand against all nations.’ v27 The *Lord (commander of heaven’s armies) has prepared his plan. Nobody can stop it. He lifts his hand. He is ready to strike. Nobody can oppose him.
