13. And now, I will break Assyria’s yoke bar from your neck;I will tear apart the shackles that are on you.”
14. The Lord has issued a decree against you:“Your dynasty will come to an end.I will destroy the idols and images in the temples of your gods.I will desecrate your grave – because you are accursed!”
15. (2:1) Look! A herald is running on the mountains!A messenger is proclaiming deliverance:“Celebrate your sacred festivals, O Judah!Fulfill your sacred vows to praise God!For never again will the wicked Assyrians invade you,they have been completely destroyed.”
