看哪！我要使你成为一个崭新、锐利、多齿的打谷器；你必脱打、磨碎群山，又使冈陵如同糠秕。你必簸扬它们，风就把它们吹去，狂风使它们四散；但你必因耶和华而快乐，因以色列的圣者而夸耀。

祸哉！亚述，我怒气的棍！他们手中的杖就是我的愤怒。

耶和华打断了恶人的杖和管辖者的权杖——它们曾在盛怒中以不停的猛击来击打万民；在怒气中以无情的逼迫来辖制列国。

王就发怒，派军兵除灭那些凶手，烧毁了他们的城。

我从远古以来所立的，在太初的日子所定的，难道你没有听过吗？现在我使它应验了，就是让你把坚固的城变为荒废的石堆——

他们从遥远之地、从天边而来——耶和华和他愤怒的器皿正来毁灭全地。

斧头怎能向用斧伐木的人自夸呢？锯子怎能向拉锯的人自大呢？这简直是说，棍能挥动那举棍的，木杖能举起那本不是木头的人！
