24Therefore thus says the Lord, Yahweh of Hosts, my people who dwell in Zion, don`t be afraid of the Assyrian, though he strike you with the rod, and lift up his staff against you, after the manner of Egypt.
25For yet a very little while, and the indignation [against you] shall be accomplished, and my anger [shall be directed] to his destruction.
26Yahweh of Hosts will stir up against him a scourge, as in the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and his rod will be over the sea, and he will lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
27It shall happen in that day, that his burden shall depart from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed by reason of fatness.
28He is come to Aiath, he is passed through Migron; at Michmash he lays up his baggage;
29they are gone over the pass; they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah trembles; Gibeah of Saul is fled.
30Cry aloud with your voice, daughter of Gallim! listen, Laishah! You poor Anathoth!
