10Ah, you who make iniquitous decrees, who write oppressive statutes,H1945H2710H205H2711H3789H5999H3789 2to turn aside the needy from justice and to rob the poor of my people of their right, that widows may be your spoil, and that you may make the orphans your prey!H5186H1800H1779H1497H4941H6041H5971H490H7998H962H3490 3What will you do on the day of punishment, in the calamity that will come from far away? To whom will you flee for help, and where will you leave your wealth,H6213H3117H6486H7722H935H4801H5127H5833H5800H3519 4so as not to crouch among the prisoners or fall among the slain?

Arrogant Assyria Also Judged

5Ah, Assyria, the rod of my anger—the club in their hands is my fury!H1945H804H7626H639H4294H3027H2195 6Against a godless nation I send him, and against the people of my wrath I command him, to take spoil and seize plunder, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.H7971H2611H1471H5971H5678H6680H7997H7998H962H957H7760H4823H2563H2351 7But this is not what he intends, nor does he have this in mind; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few.H1819H3824H2803H3824H8045H3772H1471H4592 8For he says: "Are not my commanders all kings?H559H8269H3162H4428 9Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?H3641H3751H2574H774H8111H1834 10As my hand has reached to the kingdoms of the idols whose images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,H3027H4672H4467H457H6456H3389H8111 11shall I not do to Jerusalem and her idols what I have done to Samaria and her images?"H6213H8111H457H6213H3389H6091 12When the Lord has finished all his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, he will punish the arrogant boasting of the king of Assyria and his haughty pride.H136H1214H4639H2022H6726H3389H6485H6529H1433H3824H4428H804H8597H7312H5869 13For he says: "By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I have understanding; I have removed the boundaries of peoples, and have plundered their treasures; like a bull I have brought down those who sat on thrones.H559H3581H3027H6213H2451H995H5493H1367H5971H8154H6259H6264H3381H3427H47H3524 14My hand has found, like a nest, the wealth of the peoples; and as one gathers eggs that have been forsaken, so I have gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved a wing, or opened its mouth, or chirped."H3027H4672H7064H2428H5971H622H1000H5800H622H776H5074H3671H6475H6310H6850 15Shall the ax vaunt itself over the one who wields it, or the saw magnify itself against the one who handles it? As if a rod should raise the one who lifts it up, or as if a staff should lift the one who is not wood!H1631H6286H2672H4883H1431H5130H7626H5130H7311H4294H7311H6086 16Therefore the Sovereign, the LORD of hosts, will send wasting sickness among his stout warriors, and under his glory a burning will be kindled, like the burning of fire.H113H136H3068H6635H7971H4924H7332H3519H3344H3350H784 17The light of Israel will become a fire, and his Holy One a flame; and it will burn and devour his thorns and briers in one day.H216H3478H784H6918H3852H1197H398H7898H8068H259H3117 18The glory of his forest and his fruitful land the LORD will destroy, both soul and body, and it will be as when an invalid wastes away.H3615H3519H3293H3759H5315H1320H5263H4549 19The remnant of the trees of his forest will be so few that a child can write them down.H7605H6086H3293H4557H5288H3789

The Repentant Remnant of Israel

20On that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no more lean on the one who struck them, but will lean on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.H3117H7605H3478H6413H1004H3290H3254H8172H5221H8172H3068H6918H3478H571 21A remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.H7605H7725H7605H3290H1368H410 22For though your people Israel were like the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will return. Destruction is decreed, overflowing with righteousness.H5971H3478H2344H3220H7605H7725H3631H2782H7857H6666 23For the Lord GOD of hosts will make a full end, as decreed, in all the earth.H136H3069H6635H6213H3617H2782H7130H776 24Therefore thus says the Lord GOD of hosts: O my people, who live in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrians when they beat you with a rod and lift up their staff against you as the Egyptians did.H559H136H3069H6635H5971H3427H6726H3372H804H5221H7626H5375H4294H1870H4714 25For in a very little while my indignation will come to an end, and my anger will be directed to their destruction.H4213H4592H2195H3615H639H8399 26The LORD of hosts will wield a whip against them, as when he struck Midian at the rock of Oreb; his staff will be over the sea, and he will lift it as he did in Egypt.H3068H6635H5782H7752H4347H4080H6697H6159H4294H3220H5375H1870H4714 27On that day his burden will be removed from your shoulder, and his yoke will be destroyed from your neck. He has gone up from Rimmon,H3117H5448H5493H7926H5923H6677H5923H2254H6440H8081 28he has come to Aiath; he has passed through Migron, at Michmash he stores his baggage;H935H5857H5674H4051H4363H6485H3627 29they have crossed over the pass, at Geba they lodge for the night; Ramah trembles, Gibeah of Saul has fled.H5674H4569H4411H1387H7414H2729H1390H7586H5127 30Cry aloud, O daughter Gallim! Listen, O Laishah! Answer her, O Anathoth!H6670H6963H1323H1530H1554H7181H3919H6041H6068 31Madmenah is in flight, the inhabitants of Gebim flee for safety.H4088H5074H3427H1374H5756 32This very day he will halt at Nob, he will shake his fist at the mount of daughter Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.H5975H5011H3117H5130H3027H2022H1323H1004H6726H1389H3389 33Look, the Sovereign, the LORD of hosts, will lop the boughs with terrifying power; the tallest trees will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.H113H3068H6635H5586H6288H4637H7311H6967H1438H1364H8213 34He will hack down the thickets of the forest with an ax, and Lebanon with its majestic trees will fall.H5362H5442H3293H1270H3844H5307H117
