22. For I will rise up upon them, saith the Lord of the hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name and remnant and son and nephew, saith the Lord.
23. I will also make it a possession for the bittern and pools of water, and I will sweep it with brooms of destruction, saith the Lord of the hosts.
24. The Lord of the hosts has sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
25. That I will break the Assyrian in my land and upon my mountains tread him under foot; then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.
26. This is the counsel that is purposed upon the whole earth; and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the Gentiles.
