21. Those who are left in Jacob’s family will again follow the Powerful God.
22. Israel, your people are as many as the sands of the sea, but only a few of them will be left to come back to God. But before that happens, your country will be destroyed. God has announced that he will destroy the land. And then justice will come into the land like a river flowing full.
23. The Lord GOD All-Powerful really will destroy this land.
24. The Lord GOD All-Powerful says, “My people living in Zion, don’t be afraid of Assyria! Yes, he will beat you, and it will be just as the time when Egypt beat you with a stick.
25. But after a short time my anger will stop. I will be satisfied that Assyria has punished you enough.”
