Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.

The verse 24 is found in chapter 10 of Isaiah. Assyria is described as an instrument used by God to punish, yet its pride will also be judged. The Assyrian king attributes his conquests to his own strength and wisdom, ignoring that Yahweh used him as an instrument. The passage develops a fundamental paradox of divine sovereignty: God can employ an ungodly power without approving its arrogance.

Darum spricht der Herr, HERR Zebaoth: Fürchte dich nicht, mein Volk, das zu Zion wohnt, vor Assur. Er wird dich mit einem Stecken schlagen und seinen Stab wider dich aufheben, wie in Ägypten geschah.
Por tanto el Señor Jehová de los ejércitos dice así: Pueblo mío, morador de Sion, no temas de Assur. Con vara te herirá, y contra ti alzará su palo, a la manera de Egipto:
Por eso, así dice el Señor, Jehová de los ejércitos: «Pueblo mío que habitas en Sión, no temas a Asiria, que te golpea con vara y levanta su bastón contra ti a la manera de Egipto.
Cependant, ainsi parle le Seigneur, l'Eternel des armées: O mon peuple, qui habites en Sion, ne crains pas l'Assyrien! Il te frappe de la verge, Et il lève son bâton sur toi, comme faisaient les Egyptiens.
Perciò, il Signore Iddio degli eserciti ha detto così: Popol mio, che abiti in Sion, non temer dell’Assiro; egli ti percoterà con la verga, ed alzerà il suo bastone sopra te, nella medesima maniera che l’alzò l’Egitto.
Por isso assim diz o Senhor DEUS dos Exércitos: Povo meu, que habitas em Sião, não temas à Assíria, quando te ferir com a vara, e contra ti levantar o seu bordão à maneira dos egípcios.
所以,萬軍之主耶和華如此說:「住 錫安 我的百姓啊, 亞述 王雖然用棍擊打你,又如 埃及 舉杖攻擊你,你不要怕他。
