23_ISA_10_01 woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, And that write grievousness [ which] they have prescribed;
23_ISA_10_02 to turn aside the needy from judgment, And to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, And [ that] they may rob the fatherless !
23_ISA_10_03 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, And in the desolation [ which] shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? And where will ye leave your glory?
23_ISA_10_04 without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, And they shall fall under the slain. for all this his anger Is not turned away, but his hand [ Is] stretched out still.
23_ISA_10_05 O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, And the staff in their hand Is mine indignation.
23_ISA_10_06 I will send him against an hypocritical nation, And against the people of my wrath will I give him A charge, to take the spoil, And to take the prey, And to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
23_ISA_10_07 Howbeit he meaneth not So, neither Doth his heart think So; but [ it Is] in his heart to destroy And cut off nations not A few.
23_ISA_10_08 for he saith, [ are] not my princes altogether kings?
23_ISA_10_09 [ Is] not Calno as Carchemish? [ Is] not Hamath as Arpad? [ Is] not Samaria as Damascus?
23_ISA_10_10 as my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, And whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem And of Samaria:
23_ISA_10_11 shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria And her idols, So do to Jerusalem And her idols?
23_ISA_10_12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, [ that] when the LORD hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion And on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, And the glory of his high looks.
23_ISA_10_13 for he saith, by the strength of my hand I have done [ it], And by my wisdom; for I am prudent: And I have removed the bounds of the people, And have robbed their treasures, And I have put down the inhabitants like A valiant [ man]:
23_ISA_10_14 And my hand hath found as A nest the riches of the people: And as one gathereth eggs [ that are] left, have I gathered all the earth; And there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.
23_ISA_10_15 shall the ax boast itself against him that heweth therewith? [ or] shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake [ itself] against them that lift it up, [ or] as if the staff should lift up [ itself, as if it were] no wood.
23_ISA_10_16 therefore shall the LORD, the LORD of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; And under his glory he shall kindle A burning like the burning of A fire.
23_ISA_10_17 And the light of Israel shall be for A fire, And his holy one for A flame: And it shall burn And devour his thorns And his briers in one day;
23_ISA_10_18 And shall consume the glory of his forest, And of his fruitful field, Both soul And body: And they shall be as when A standardbearer fainteth.
23_ISA_10_19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that A child may write them.
23_ISA_10_20 And it shall come to pass in that day, [ that] the remnant of Israel, And such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the holy one of Israel, in truth.
23_ISA_10_21 the remnant shall Return, [ even] the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
23_ISA_10_22 for though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, [ yet] A remnant of them shall Return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.
23_ISA_10_23 for the LORD God of hosts shall make A consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land.
23_ISA_10_24 therefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with A rod, And shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
23_ISA_10_25 for yet A very little while, And the indignation shall cease, And mine anger in their destruction.
23_ISA_10_26 And the LORD of hosts shall stir up A scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: And [ as] his rod [ was] upon the sea, So shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
23_ISA_10_27 And it shall come to pass in that day, [ that] his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, And his yoke from off thy neck, And the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
23_ISA_10_28 he Is come to Aiath, he Is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages:
23_ISA_10_29 they are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah Is afraid; Gibeah of Saul Is fled.
23_ISA_10_30 lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.
23_ISA_10_31 Madmenah Is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.
23_ISA_10_32 as yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand [ against] the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
23_ISA_10_33 behold, the LORD, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: And the high ones of stature [ shall be] hewn down, And the haughty shall be humbled.
23_ISA_10_34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon shall fall by A mighty one.
