What does Isaiah 31:8 mean?

Assyria will fall, but not by human hands. A sword not made by people will destroy them. They’ll run from the sword, and their young men will be forced into labor. Isaiah 31:8 - Modern Text Bible

(Assyria’s defeat will be God’s doing, not the result of human power. Their army will be scattered and humiliated.)
