11 Someone has left you who plans evil against the Lord.
    He is a demonic counselor.[a]

The Lord’s Rebuke to Assyria

12 This is what the Lord says:
“No matter how strong they are,[b]
    and no matter how numerous,
        they will surely be annihilated[c] and pass away.
Though I have afflicted you,[d]
    I will do so no more.
13 Now I will break off Assyria’s[e] yoke from you,
    and tear apart your shackles.”
