Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited.

The verse 8 is found in chapter 31 of Isaiah. The chapter again condemns dependence on Egypt and its horses. God is not comparable to human military strength: he can protect Jerusalem without requiring the means trusted by political power. The call to return to the one against whom they rebelled connects national security with repentance.

Und Assur soll fallen, nicht durch Mannes-Schwert, und soll verzehrt werden, nicht durch Menschen-Schwert, und wird doch vor dem Schwert fliehen, und seine junge Mannschaft wird zinsbar werden.
Entonces caerá el Assur por cuchillo, no de varón; y consumiralo espada, no de hombre; y huirá de la presencia de la espada, y sus mancebos serán tributarios.
Et l'Assyrien tombera sous un glaive qui n'est pas celui d'un homme, Et un glaive qui n'est pas celui d'un homme le dévorera; Il s'enfuira devant le glaive, Et ses jeunes guerriers seront asservis.
Ed Assur caderà per la spada, non di un uomo; e il coltello, non di una persona umana, lo divorerà; ed egli se ne fuggirà d’innanzi alla spada, e i suoi giovani saran disfatti.
E a Assíria cairá pela espada, não de poderoso homem; e a espada, não de homem desprezível, a consumirá; e fugirá perante a espada e os seus jovens serão tributários.
亞述 必倒在刀下,並非人的刀; 有刀要將它吞滅,並非人的刀。 它要逃避這刀, 它的年輕人必做苦工。
