22For though your people, Israel, are like the sand of the seashore, only a remnant of them will return. Destruction is decreed, as overflowing righteousness demands.
23For the Lord Yahweh of hosts, is about to carry out the destruction determined throughout the land.
24Therefore the Lord Yahweh of hosts says, “My people who live in Zion, do not fear the Assyrian. He will strike you with the rod and raise his staff against you, as the Egyptians did.
25Do not fear him, for in a very short time my anger against you will end, and my anger will lead to his destruction.”
