Book 23 : ISAIAH - Chapter 010
010:001
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
010:002
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
010:003
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
010:004
O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand
is mine indignation
010:005
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
010:006
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
010:007
For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings
010:008
Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not
Samaria as Damascus
010:009
As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose
graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria
010:010
Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do
to Jerusalem and her idols
010:011
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
010:012
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
010:013
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
010:014
Shall the axe 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
010:015
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
010:016
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
010:017
And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful
field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a
standard-bearer fainteth
010:018
And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a
child may write them
010:019
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
010:020
The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the
mighty God
010:021
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
010:022
For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a consumption, even
determined, in the midst of all the land
010:023
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
010:024
For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease,
and mine anger in their destruction
010:025
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
010:026
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
010:027
He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he
hath laid up his carriages
010:028
They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their
lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled
010:029
Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard
unto Laish, O poor Anathoth
010:030
Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather
themselves to flee
010:031
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
010:032
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
010:033
And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron,
and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one
