"They won't return into the land of Egypt; but the Assyrian will be their king, because they refused to repent.
Therefore the Lord, the LORD of Armies, says "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, as Egypt did.
Alas Assyrian, the rod of my anger, the staff in whose hand is my indignation!
that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and tread him under foot on my mountains. Then his yoke will leave them, and his burden leave their shoulders.
In that day there will be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.
For through the voice of the LORD the Assyrian will be dismayed. He will strike him with his rod.
"The Assyrian will fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of mankind, shall devour him. He will flee from the sword, and his young men will become subject to forced labor.
For thus says the Lord the LORD, "My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there: and the Assyrian has oppressed them without cause.
They will rule the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in its gates. He will deliver us from the Assyrian, when he invades our land, and when he marches within our border.
