21. A remnant shall return, the remnant of Ya‛aqoḇ, to the Mighty Ěl.
22. For though your people, O Yisra’ĕl, be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return – a decisive end, overflowing with righteousness.
23. For the Master יהוה of hosts is making a complete end, as decided, in the midst of all the earth.
24. Therefore thus said the Master יהוה of hosts, “My people, who dwell in Tsiyon, be not afraid of Ashshur, who beats you with a rod and lifts up his staff against you, in the way of Mitsrayim.
25. “For yet a little while and the displeasure shall be completed, and My displeasure be to their destruction.”
26. And יהוה of hosts stirs up a lash for him as the smiting of Miḏyan at the rock of Orĕḇ. And as His rod was on the sea, so shall He lift it up in the way of Mitsrayim.
27. And in that day it shall be that his burden is removed from your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing oil.
28. He has come upon Ayath, he has passed Mig̅ron. At Miḵmash he stored his supplies.
29. They have gone through the pass, they have taken up lodging at Geḇa. Ramah is afraid, Giḇ‛ah of Sha’ul has fled.
30. Lift up your voice, O daughter of Galliym! Listen, Layishah – O poor Anathoth!
31. Maḏmĕnah has fled, the inhabitants of Gĕḇim sought refuge.
