Isaiah 10
10
Isaiah 10
1¶ Woe unto those that establish unrighteous laws and that wilfully prescribe tyranny
2to turn aside the poor from right judgment and to take away the right from the afflicted of my people that widows may be their prey and that they may rob the fatherless!
3And 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?
4They 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.
5¶ O Assyrian, rod and staff of my anger, in thy hand have I placed my indignation.
6I will send him against a hypocritical nation, and upon the people of my wrath will I send him to take spoil and to take prey and to ready them that they might be tread down like the mire of the streets.
7Howbeit he shall not think like this; not even in his heart shall he imagine this way of doing things, but his thought shall be to destroy and cut off nations not a few.
8For he shall say, Are not my princes altogether kings?
9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?
10As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel those of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
11shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
12Therefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord has performed his whole work upon Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will come upon the fruit of the pride of the heart of the king of Assyria, and upon the glory of his high looks.
13For he said, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I have been prudent: and I have removed the boundaries of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures, and I have cast down as valiant ones those who were seated:
14And my hand has found as a nest the riches of the peoples: and as one gathers eggs that are left, I have taken control over all the earth; and there was no one that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.
15Shall the axe boast itself against him that hews with it? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that moves it? as if the rod should rise up against those that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift itself up. Is it not wood?
16Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of the hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.
17And 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;
18and shall consume the glory of his forest and of his fruitful field, from the soul unto the flesh; and they shall come to be as a standard-bearer in defeat.
19And the trees that shall remain in his forest shall be in number such that a child may count them.
20¶ And it shall come to pass in that day that those who shall be left of Israel and those who shall be left 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.
21The remnant shall become converted, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
22For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet the remnant of them shall become converted; when the consumption comes to an end, righteousness shall overflow.
23For the Lord GOD of the hosts shall make a consumption and an end in the midst of all the land.
24¶ Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of the hosts, O my people, dweller of Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian; he shall smite thee with a rod and shall lift up his stick against thee by the way of Egypt;
25yet from now until a very little while the indignation and my anger shall cease, to make an end of them.
26And the Lord of the hosts shall raise up a scourge against him as the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb and shall raise up his rod upon the sea, by the way of Egypt.
27And 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 consumed in the presence of the anointing.
28He is come to Aiath; he is passed unto Migron; in Michmash he shall number his army:
29They are gone over the fords; they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled.
30Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim; Laish cause poor Anathoth to hear thee.
31Madmenah is in upheaval; the inhabitants of Gebim shall gather themselves together.
32Even yet shall come a day when he shall rest at Nob; he shall raise his hand unto the mountain of the daughter of Zion unto the hill of Jerusalem.
33Behold, the Lord, the Lord of the hosts, shall lop the bough with force, and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.
34And he shall cut down the thickness of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by force.

Yeshayah (Isaiah) 10
10
1“Woe to those making unrighteous inscriptions, and writers who have prescribed toil,
2to keep the needy back from right-ruling, and to take what is right from the poor of My people, that widows become their prey, and orphans their plunder.
3“What shall you do in the day of visitation, and in the ruin which comes from afar? To whom would you run for help? And where would you leave your wealth?
4“Without Me they shall bow down among the prisoners, and fall among the killed.” With all this His displeasure has not turned back, and His hand is still stretched out.
5“Woe to Ashshur, the rod of My displeasure and the staff in whose hand is My displeasure.
6“Against a defiled nation I send him, and against the people of My wrath I command him to seize the spoil, to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mud of the streets.
7“But he does not intend so, nor does his heart think so, for it is in his heart to destroy, and cut off not a few nations.
8“For he says, ‘Are not my princes sovereigns?
9Is not Kalno like Karkemish? Is not Ḥamath like Arpaḏ? Is not Shomeron like Dammeseq?
10As my hand has found the reigns of the idols, whose carved images excelled those of Yerushalayim and Shomeron,
11as I have done to Shomeron and her idols, do I not do also to Yerushalayim and her idols?’
12“And it shall be, when יהוה has performed all His work on Mount Tsiyon and on Yerushalayim, that I shall punish the fruit of the greatness of the heart of the sovereign of Ashshur, and the boasting of his haughty looks.
13“For he has said, ‘By the power of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I have been clever. And I remove the boundaries of the people, and have robbed their treasuries. And I put down the inhabitants like a strong one.
14And my hand finds the riches of the people like a nest. And I have gathered all the earth like forsaken eggs are gathered. And there was no one who moved his wing, nor opened his mouth with even a peep.’ ”
15Would the axe boast itself over him who chops with it, or the saw exalt itself over him who saws with it? As a rod waving those who lift it up! As a staff lifting up that which is not wood!
16Therefore the Master, יהוה of hosts, sends leanness among his fat ones. And under his esteem he kindles a burning like the burning of a fire.
17And the Light of Yisra’ĕl shall be for a fire, and his Set-apart One for a flame. And it shall burn and devour his weeds and his thornbushes in one day,
18and consume the esteem of his forest and of his fertile field, both life and flesh. And they shall be as when a sick man wastes away,
19and the remaining trees of his forest shall be so few in number that a child records them.
20And in that day it shall be that the remnant of Yisra’ĕl, and those who have escaped of the house of Ya‛aqoḇ, never again lean upon him who struck them, but shall lean upon יהוה, the Set-apart One of Yisra’ĕl, in truth.
21A remnant shall return, the remnant of Ya‛aqoḇ, to the Mighty Ěl.
22For though your people, O Yisra’ĕl, be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return – a decisive end, overflowing with righteousness.
23For the Master יהוה of hosts is making a complete end, as decided, in the midst of all the earth.
24Therefore thus said the Master יהוה of hosts, “My people, who dwell in Tsiyon, be not afraid of Ashshur, who struck you with a rod and lifts up his staff against you, in the way of Mitsrayim.
25“For yet a little while and the displeasure shall be completed, and My displeasure be to their destruction.”
26And יהוה of hosts stirs up a lash for him as the smiting of Miḏyan at the rock of Orĕḇ. And as His rod was on the sea, so shall He lift it up in the way of Mitsrayim.
27And in that day it shall be that his burden is removed from your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing oil.
28He has come upon Ayath, he has passed Miḡron. At Miḵmash he stored his supplies.
29They have gone through the pass, they have taken up lodging at Geḇa. Ramah is afraid, Giḇ‛ah of Sha’ul has fled.
30Lift up your voice, O daughter of Galliym! Listen, Layishah – O poor Anathoth!
31Maḏmĕnah has fled, the inhabitants of Gĕḇim sought refuge.
32Yet he remains at Noḇ that day; he shakes his fist at the mountain of the daughter of Tsiyon, the hill of Yerushalayim.
33Look, the Master, יהוה of hosts, is lopping off a branch with an awesome crash, and the tall ones are cut down, and the lofty ones are laid low.
34And He shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Leḇanon shall fall as a mighty one!
