⁸ And the ^(A)Assyrian will fall by a sword not of man,
And a ^(B)sword not of man will devour him.
So he will ^[a](C)flee from the sword,
And his choice men will become ^(D)forced laborers.

¹⁰ Indeed, ^(A)that day belongs to Lord Yahweh of hosts,
A day of ^(B)vengeance, so as to avenge Himself on His adversaries;
And the ^(C)sword will devour and be satiated
And ^[a]drink its fill of their blood;
For there will be a ^(D)sacrifice to Lord Yahweh of hosts
In the land of the north by the river Euphrates.

¹⁴ “Declare in Egypt and cause it to be heard in ^(A)Migdol;
Cause it to be heard also in Memphis and ^(B)Tahpanhes;
Say, ‘Take your stand and get yourself ready,
For the ^(C)sword has devoured those around you.’
