10"Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, Who write misfortune, Which they have prescribedH1945H2710H205H2711H3789H5999H3789 2To rob the needy of justice, And to take what is right from the poor of My people, That widows may be their prey, And that they may rob the fatherless.H5186H1800H1779H1497H4941H6041H5971H490H7998H962H3490 3What will you do in the day of punishment, And in the desolation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? And where will you leave your glory?H6213H3117H6486H7722H935H4801H5127H5833H5800H3519 4Without Me they shall bow down among the prisoners, And they shall fall among the slain." For all this His anger is not turned away, But His hand is stretched out still.H1115H3766H616H5307H2026H639H7725H3027H5186 5"Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger And the staff in whose hand is My indignation.H1945H804H7626H639H4294H3027H2195 6I will send him against an ungodly nation, And against the people of My wrath I will give him charge, To seize the spoil, to take the prey, And to tread them down like the mire of the streets.H7971H2611H1471H5971H5678H6680H7997H7998H962H957H7760H4823H2563H2351 7Yet he does not mean so, Nor does his heart think so; But it is in his heart to destroy, And cut off not a few nations.H1819H3824H2803H3824H8045H3772H1471H4592 8For he says, 'Are not my princes altogether kings?H559H8269H3162H4428 9Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?H3641H3751H2574H774H8111H1834 10As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, Whose carved images excelled those of Jerusalem and Samaria,H3027H4672H4467H457H6456H3389H8111 11As I have done to Samaria and her idols, Shall I not do also to Jerusalem and her idols?'"H6213H8111H457H6213H3389H6091 12Therefore it shall come to pass, when the LORD has performed all His work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, that He will say, "I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his haughty looks."H136H1214H4639H2022H6726H3389H6485H6529H1433H3824H4428H804H8597H7312H5869 13For he says: "By the strength of my hand I have done it, And by my wisdom, for I am prudent; Also I have removed the boundaries of the people, And have robbed their treasuries; So I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man.H559H3581H3027H6213H2451H995H5493H1367H5971H8154H6259H6264H3381H3427H47H3524 14My hand has found like a nest the riches of the people, And as one gathers eggs that are left, I have gathered all the earth; And there was no one who moved his wing, Nor opened his mouth with even a peep."H3027H4672H7064H2428H5971H622H1000H5800H622H776H5074H3671H6475H6310H6850 15Shall the ax boast itself against him who chops with it? Or shall the saw exalt itself against him who saws with it? As if a rod could wield itself against those who lift it up, Or as if a staff could lift up, as if it were not wood!H1631H6286H2672H4883H1431H5130H7626H5130H7311H4294H7311H6086 16Therefore the Lord, the Lord of hosts, Will send leanness among his fat ones; And under his glory He will kindle a burning Like the burning of a fire.H113H136H3068H6635H7971H4924H7332H3519H3344H3350H784 17So the Light of Israel will be for a fire, And his Holy One for a flame; It will burn and devour His thorns and his briers in one day.H216H3478H784H6918H3852H1197H398H7898H8068H259H3117 18And it will consume the glory of his forest and of his fruitful field, Both soul and body; And they will be as when a sick man wastes away.H3615H3519H3293H3759H5315H1320H5263H4549 19Then the rest of the trees of his forest Will be so few in number That a child may write them.H7605H6086H3293H4557H5288H3789 20And it shall come to pass in that day That the remnant of Israel, And such as have escaped of the house of Jacob, Will never again depend on him who defeated them, But will depend on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.H3117H7605H3478H6413H1004H3290H3254H8172H5221H8172H3068H6918H3478H571 21The remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, To the Mighty God.H7605H7725H7605H3290H1368H410 22For though your people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea, A remnant of them will return; The destruction decreed shall overflow with righteousness.H5971H3478H2344H3220H7605H7725H3631H2782H7857H6666 23For the Lord GOD of hosts Will make a determined end In the midst of all the land.H136H3069H6635H6213H3617H2782H7130H776 24Therefore thus says the Lord GOD of hosts: "O My people, who dwell in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrian. He shall strike you with a rod and lift up his staff against you, in the manner of Egypt.H559H136H3069H6635H5971H3427H6726H3372H804H5221H7626H5375H4294H1870H4714 25"For yet a very little while and the indignation will cease, as will My anger in their destruction."H4213H4592H2195H3615H639H8399 26And the LORD of hosts will stir up a scourge for him like the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb; as His rod was on the sea, so will He lift it up in the manner of Egypt.H3068H6635H5782H7752H4347H4080H6697H6159H4294H3220H5375H1870H4714 27It shall come to pass in that day That his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, And his yoke from your neck, And the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil.H3117H5448H5493H7926H5923H6677H5923H2254H6440H8081 28He has come to Aiath, He has passed Migron; At Michmash he has attended to his equipment.H935H5857H5674H4051H4363H6485H3627 29They have gone along the ridge, They have taken up lodging at Geba. Ramah is afraid, Gibeah of Saul has fled.H5674H4569H4411H1387H7414H2729H1390H7586H5127 30Lift up your voice, O daughter of Gallim! Cause it to be heard as far as Laish—O poor Anathoth!H6670H6963H1323H1530H1554H7181H3919H6041H6068 31Madmenah has fled, The inhabitants of Gebim seek refuge.H4088H5074H3427H1374H5756 32As yet he will remain at Nob that day; He will shake his fist at the mount of the daughter of Zion, The hill of Jerusalem.H5975H5011H3117H5130H3027H2022H1323H1004H6726H1389H3389 33Behold, the Lord, The LORD of hosts, Will lop off the bough with terror; Those of high stature will be hewn down, And the haughty will be humbled.H113H3068H6635H5586H6288H4637H7311H6967H1438H1364H8213 34He will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon will fall by the Mighty One.H5362H5442H3293H1270H3844H5307H117
