That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot; then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulder—the promise that in addition to Babylon, Assyria will also be judged on God's land (Israel), with the removal of Assyrian oppression. The breaking and treading under foot of Assyria establishes that God's judgment extends to multiple oppressors. This verse broadens the judgment prophecy to include Assyria.
