Isaiah 10
10
1#Ps 58:2 Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees
and who write unjust judgments which they have prescribed
2#Isa 3:14; 1:23 to turn aside the needy from justice
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!
3#Hos 9:7; Lk 19:44 And what will you do in the day of punishment
and in the desolation which shall come from afar?
To whom will you flee for help,
and where will you leave your wealth?
4#Isa 5:25; 9:12 Nothing remains but to bow down among the prisoners,
and they shall fall among the slain.
For all this His anger is not turned away,
and His hand is stretched out still.
Judgment on Assyria
5Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger
and the staff in whose hand is My indignation.
6#Isa 9:17 I will send him against an ungodly nation,
and against the people of My wrath I will give him a command,
to seize the plunder, to take the prey,
and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7#Ge 50:20; Mic 4:11–12 However he does not so intend,
nor does he plan so in his heart;
but his purpose is to destroy
and to cut off many nations.
8#2Ki 18:24 For he says, “Are not my princes altogether kings?
9#2Ki 16:9; 2Ch 35:20 Is not Kalno as Carchemish?
Is not Hamath as Arpad?
Is not Samaria as Damascus?
10As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols
whose graven images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols,
so do to Jerusalem and her idols?”
12#2Ki 19:31; Jer 50:18When the Lord has performed all His work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, He will say, “I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria and the glory of his high looks.” 13#Da 4:30For he says:
“By the strength of my hand and by my wisdom,
I have done it, 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.
14#Job 31:25 And my hand has found as 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 the wing
or opened the mouth or peeped.”
15#Isa 10:5; Ro 9:20–21; Isa 45:9 Shall the axe boast itself against him who hews with it?
Or shall the saw magnify itself against him who wields it?
That is as if the rod wields itself against those who lift it up,
or as if the staff should lift itself up as if it were not wood.
16#Ps 106:15 Therefore the Lord, God of Hosts,
shall send leanness among his stout ones,
and under his glory he shall kindle a burning
like the burning of a fire.
17#Nu 11:1–3; Isa 27:4 The light of Israel shall be a fire,
and his Holy One a flame,
and it shall burn and devour
his thorns and his briers in one day,
18#2Ki 19:23; Isa 10:33–34 and shall consume the glory of his forest,
and of his fruitful field, both soul and body;
and it shall be as when a sick man faints.
19The rest of the trees of his forest shall be so few
that a child may write them down.
The Returning Remnant of Israel
20#2Ki 16:7; 2Ch 28:20 In that day the remnant of Israel
and those who have escaped of the house of Jacob
shall never again depend on him
who struck them,
but shall depend on the Lord,
the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21#Isa 9:6; 7:3 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob,
to the mighty God.
22#Ro 9:27–28; Da 9:27 For though your people, O Israel, are as the sand of the sea,
yet a remnant of them shall return;
the destruction is decreed,
overflowing with righteousness.
23For the Lord God of Hosts shall make a complete destruction,
as decreed, in the midst of all the land.
24#Isa 37:6Therefore, 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 shall lift up his staff against you, after the manner of Egypt.
25#Da 11:36 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease,
and My anger will be directed to their destruction.
26#Isa 9:4; Jdg 7:25; 2Ki 19:35 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 over the sea, so shall He lift it up
after the manner of Egypt.
27#Isa 9:4; 14:25 In that day his burden shall be taken away from off your shoulder,
and his yoke from off your neck;
and the yoke shall be destroyed
because of the anointing oil.
28#1Sa 14:2; 13:2 He has come against Aiath,
he has passed through Migron;
at Mikmash he has laid up his carriages.
29#1Sa 7:17; 13:23 They are gone over the pass,
they have taken up their lodging at Geba.
Ramah is afraid,
Gibeah of Saul has fled.
30#1Sa 25:44; Jer 1:1 Lift up your voice, O daughter of Gallim.
Listen, Laishah
and poor Anathoth.
31Madmenah has fled,
the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.
32#1Sa 21:1; 22:19 Yet today he shall remain at Nob;
he shakes his fist
against the mount of the daughter of Zion,
the hill of Jerusalem.
33#Am 2:9; Isa 37:38 See, the Lord, the Lord of Hosts,
shall lop the bough with terror;
and the tall ones of stature shall be hewn down,
and the haughty shall be humbled.
34#Isa 37:24 He shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron,
and Lebanon shall fall by the Mighty One.

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!
