Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance—the blessing pronounced upon all three nations (Egypt, Assyria, Israel), with each having a distinct relationship to God (people, work of hands, inheritance). The identification of all three as God's possess suggests universal redemption. This verse concludes the oracle with the promise of universal blessing and incorporation into God's family.
