Isaiah

Chapter 10

1 WOE to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and who write unjust decrees;

2 To turn aside the needy from justice and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that they may plunder the widows and that they may rob the fatherless!

3 And what will you do on the day of recompense and in the storm which shall come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? And where will you leave your glory?

4 Without me you shall bow down under the prisoners, and you shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

5 Ho, Assyrian! the rod of my anger, and the staff in their hand is my indignation.

6 I will send him against a hypocritical nation, and against a wrathful people will I give him a charge, to take captives and to take spoil and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

7 But he does not look so, neither does his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and annihilate nations not a few.

8 For he says, Are not my princes altogether kings?

9 Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?

10 As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel those of Jerusalem and of Samaria;

11 And as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so will I do to Jerusalem and her idols.

12 Therefore it shall come to pass, that when the LORD has performed his whole work on mount Zion, and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the proud heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his pride.

13 For he has said, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent, and I have removed the boundaries of the nations, and I have plundered their wealth, and subjugated the inhabited cities;

14 And my hand has found like a nest the riches of the peoples; and as one gathers eggs that have been forsaken, I have gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved a wing or opened the mouth or chirped.

15 Shall the ax boast itself over him who hews with it? Or shall the saw magnify itself over him who saws with it? Or shall a rod exalt itself over him who lifts it up?

16 Therefore shall the LORD God of hosts send destruction upon his rich ones; and instead of his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.

17 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;

18 And it shall consume the glory of his forest and of his fruitful fields, both soul and body shall perish; and they shall be as if they never had been.

19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be so few that a child may write them down.

20 And it shall come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel, and those who are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again trust upon him that smote them; but they shall trust in the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

21 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.

22 For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return; their number decreased, cut off, but flooded with righteousness.

23 For the LORD God of hosts shall bring destruction and make decrees throughout all the earth.

24 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts: O my people that dwell in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian, who shall smite you with his rod, and shall lift up his staff against you after the manner of Egypt.

25 For yet a very little while, and my indignation shall be accomplished, and my anger because of their destruction.

26 And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge against them according to the slaughter of Midian at mount Horeb; and as his staff was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.

27 And it shall come to pass in that day that his burden shall be taken away from off your shoulder and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed from your neck because of your strength.

28 He has come to Anath, he has passed Megiddo; at Michmash he has laid up his supplies;

29 They have gone over the passage of Gibeah to Beth-bethan; Ramath is afraid; Gibeah of Saul has fled.

30 Lift up your voice, O daughter of Gallim; give ear, O Laish; answer me, O Anathoth.

31 Marmanah has been removed; the inhabitants of Gobin are resisting.

32 As yet he shall remain at Nob that day; he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion and against the hill of Jerusalem.

33 Behold, the LORD God of hosts shall overthrow the glorious ones with might; and the high ones of stature shall be humbled, and the haughty shall be brought down.

34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon with its glory shall fall.

Isaiah

Chapter 10

1 Woe1945 unto them that decree2710 unrighteous205 decrees,2711 and that write3789 grievousness5999 which they have prescribed;3789

2 To turn aside5186 the needy1800 from judgment,4480 1779 and to take away1497 the right4941 from the poor6041 of my people,5971 that widows490 may be1961 their prey,7998 and that they may rob962 the fatherless!3490

3 And what4100 will ye do6213 in the day3117 of visitation,6486 and in the desolation7722 which shall come935 from far?4480 4801 to5921 whom4310 will ye flee5127 for help?5833 and where575 will ye leave5800 your glory?3519

4 Without1115 me they shall bow down3766 under8478 the prisoners,616 and they shall fall5307 under8478 the slain.2026 For all3605 this2063 his anger639 is not3808 turned away,7725 but his hand3027 is stretched out5186 still.5750

5 O Assyrian,804 the rod7626 of mine anger,639 and the staff4294 in their hand3027 is mine indignation.2195

6 I will send7971 him against a hypocritical2611 nation,1471 and against5921 the people5971 of my wrath5678 will I give him a charge,6680 to take7997 the spoil,7998 and to take962 the prey,957 and to tread them down4823 like the mire2563 of the streets.2351

7 Howbeit he1931 meaneth1819 not3808 so,3651 neither3808 doth his heart3824 think2803 so;3651 but3588 it is in his heart3824 to destroy8045 and cut off3772 nations1471 not3808 a few.4592

8 For3588 he saith,559 Are not3808 my princes8269 altogether3162 kings?4428

9 Is not3808 Calno3641 as Carchemish?3751 is not3808 Hamath2574 as Arpad?774 is not3808 Samaria8111 as Damascus?1834

10 As834 my hand3027 hath found4672 the kingdoms4467 of the idols,457 and whose graven images6456 did excel them of Jerusalem4480 3389 and of Samaria;4480 8111

11 Shall I not,3808 as834 I have done6213 unto Samaria8111 and her idols,457 so3651 do6213 to Jerusalem3389 and her idols?6091

12 Wherefore it shall come to pass,1961 that when3588 the Lord136 hath performed1214 his853 whole3605 work4639 upon mount2022 Zion6726 and on Jerusalem,3389 I will punish6485 5921 the fruit6529 of the stout1433 heart3824 of the king4428 of Assyria,804 and5921 the glory8597 of his high7312 looks.5869

13 For3588 he saith,559 By the strength3581 of my hand3027 I have done6213 it, and by my wisdom;2451 for3588 I am prudent:995 and I have removed5493 the bounds1367 of the people,5971 and have robbed8154 their treasures,6259 and I have put down3381 the inhabitants3427 like a valiant47 man:

14 And my hand3027 hath found4672 as a nest7064 the riches2428 of the people:5971 and as one gathereth622 eggs1000 that are left,5800 have I589 gathered622 all3605 the earth;776 and there was1961 none3808 that moved5074 the wing,3671 or opened6475 the mouth,6310 or peeped.6850

15 Shall the axe1631 boast itself6286 against5921 him that heweth2672 therewith? or shall the saw4883 magnify itself1431 against5921 him that shaketh5130 it? as if the rod7626 should shake itself against5130 853 them that lift it up,7311 or as if the staff4294 should lift up7311 itself, as if it were no3808 wood.6086

16 Therefore3651 shall the Lord,113 the Lord3068 of hosts,6635 send7971 among his fat ones4924 leanness;7332 and under8478 his glory3519 he shall kindle3344 a burning3350 like the burning3350 of a fire.784

17 And the light216 of Israel3478 shall be1961 for a fire,784 and his Holy One6918 for a flame:3852 and it shall burn1197 and devour398 his thorns7898 and his briers8068 in one259 day;3117

18 And shall consume3615 the glory3519 of his forest,3293 and of his fruitful field,3759 both soul4480 5315 and body:1320 and they shall be1961 as when a standard-bearer5263 fainteth.4549

19 And the rest7605 of the trees6086 of his forest3293 shall be1961 few,4557 that a child5288 may write3789 them.

20 And it shall come to pass1961 in that1931 day,3117 that the remnant7605 of Israel,3478 and such as are escaped6413 of the house1004 of Jacob,3290 shall no3808 more5750 again3254 stay8172 upon5921 him that smote5221 them; but shall stay8172 upon5921 the LORD,3068 the Holy One6918 of Israel,3478 in truth.571

21 The remnant7605 shall return,7725 even the remnant7605 of Jacob,3290 unto413 the mighty1368 God.410

22 For3588 though518 thy people5971 Israel3478 be1961 as the sand2344 of the sea,3220 yet a remnant7605 of them shall return:7725 the consumption3631 decreed2782 shall overflow7857 with righteousness.6666

23 For3588 the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts6635 shall make6213 a consumption,3617 even determined,2782 in the midst7130 of all3605 the land.776

24 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts,6635 O my people5971 that dwellest3427 in Zion,6726 be not408 afraid3372 of the Assyrian:4480 804 he shall smite5221 thee with a rod,7626 and shall lift up5375 his staff4294 against5921 thee, after the manner1870 of Egypt.4714

25 For3588 yet5750 a very4213 little4592 while, and the indignation2195 shall cease,3615 and mine anger639 in5921 their destruction.8399

26 And the LORD3068 of hosts6635 shall stir up5782 a scourge7752 for5921 him according to the slaughter4347 of Midian4080 at the rock6697 of Oreb:6159 and as his rod4294 was upon5921 the sea,3220 so shall he lift it up5375 after the manner1870 of Egypt.4714

27 And it shall come to pass1961 in that1931 day,3117 that his burden5448 shall be taken away5493 from off4480 5921 thy shoulder,7926 and his yoke5923 from off4480 5921 thy neck,6677 and the yoke5923 shall be destroyed2254 because4480 6440 of the anointing.8081

28 He is come935 to5921 Aiath,5857 he is passed5674 to Migron;4051 at Michmash4363 he hath laid up6485 his carriages: 3627

29 They are gone over5674 the passage:4569 they have taken up their lodging4411 at Geba;1387 Ramah7414 is afraid;2729 Gibeah1390 of Saul7586 is fled.5127

30 Lift up6670 thy voice,6963 O daughter1323 of Gallim:1554 cause it to be heard7181 unto Laish,3919 O poor6041 Anathoth.6068

31 Madmenah4088 is removed;5074 the inhabitants3427 of Gebim1374 gather themselves to flee.5756

32 As yet5750 shall he remain5975 at Nob5011 that day:3117 he shall shake5130 his hand3027 against the mount2022 of the daughter1004 of Zion,6726 the hill1389 of Jerusalem.3389

33 Behold,2009 the Lord,113 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 shall lop5586 the bough6288 with terror:4637 and the high ones7312 of stature6967 shall be hewn down,1438 and the haughty1364 shall be humbled.8213

34 And he shall cut down5362 the thickets5442 of the forest3293 with iron,1270 and Lebanon3844 shall fall5307 by a mighty one.117

Chapter 10

1 WOE to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and who write unjust decrees;

1 Woe1945 unto them that decree2710 unrighteous205 decrees,2711 and that write3789 grievousness5999 which they have prescribed;3789

2 To turn aside the needy from justice and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that they may plunder the widows and that they may rob the fatherless!

2 To turn aside5186 the needy1800 from judgment,4480 1779 and to take away1497 the right4941 from the poor6041 of my people,5971 that widows490 may be1961 their prey,7998 and that they may rob962 the fatherless!3490

3 And what will you do on the day of recompense and in the storm which shall come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? And where will you leave your glory?

3 And what4100 will ye do6213 in the day3117 of visitation,6486 and in the desolation7722 which shall come935 from far?4480 4801 to5921 whom4310 will ye flee5127 for help?5833 and where575 will ye leave5800 your glory?3519

4 Without me you shall bow down under the prisoners, and you shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

4 Without1115 me they shall bow down3766 under8478 the prisoners,616 and they shall fall5307 under8478 the slain.2026 For all3605 this2063 his anger639 is not3808 turned away,7725 but his hand3027 is stretched out5186 still.5750

5 Ho, Assyrian! the rod of my anger, and the staff in their hand is my indignation.

5 O Assyrian,804 the rod7626 of mine anger,639 and the staff4294 in their hand3027 is mine indignation.2195

6 I will send him against a hypocritical nation, and against a wrathful people will I give him a charge, to take captives and to take spoil and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

6 I will send7971 him against a hypocritical2611 nation,1471 and against5921 the people5971 of my wrath5678 will I give him a charge,6680 to take7997 the spoil,7998 and to take962 the prey,957 and to tread them down4823 like the mire2563 of the streets.2351

7 But he does not look so, neither does his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and annihilate nations not a few.

7 Howbeit he1931 meaneth1819 not3808 so,3651 neither3808 doth his heart3824 think2803 so;3651 but3588 it is in his heart3824 to destroy8045 and cut off3772 nations1471 not3808 a few.4592

8 For he says, Are not my princes altogether kings?

8 For3588 he saith,559 Are not3808 my princes8269 altogether3162 kings?4428

9 Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?

9 Is not3808 Calno3641 as Carchemish?3751 is not3808 Hamath2574 as Arpad?774 is not3808 Samaria8111 as Damascus?1834

10 As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel those of Jerusalem and of Samaria;

10 As834 my hand3027 hath found4672 the kingdoms4467 of the idols,457 and whose graven images6456 did excel them of Jerusalem4480 3389 and of Samaria;4480 8111

11 And as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so will I do to Jerusalem and her idols.

11 Shall I not,3808 as834 I have done6213 unto Samaria8111 and her idols,457 so3651 do6213 to Jerusalem3389 and her idols?6091

12 Therefore it shall come to pass, that when the LORD has performed his whole work on mount Zion, and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the proud heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his pride.

12 Wherefore it shall come to pass,1961 that when3588 the Lord136 hath performed1214 his853 whole3605 work4639 upon mount2022 Zion6726 and on Jerusalem,3389 I will punish6485 5921 the fruit6529 of the stout1433 heart3824 of the king4428 of Assyria,804 and5921 the glory8597 of his high7312 looks.5869

13 For he has said, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent, and I have removed the boundaries of the nations, and I have plundered their wealth, and subjugated the inhabited cities;

13 For3588 he saith,559 By the strength3581 of my hand3027 I have done6213 it, and by my wisdom;2451 for3588 I am prudent:995 and I have removed5493 the bounds1367 of the people,5971 and have robbed8154 their treasures,6259 and I have put down3381 the inhabitants3427 like a valiant47 man:

14 And my hand has found like a nest the riches of the peoples; and as one gathers eggs that have been forsaken, I have gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved a wing or opened the mouth or chirped.

14 And my hand3027 hath found4672 as a nest7064 the riches2428 of the people:5971 and as one gathereth622 eggs1000 that are left,5800 have I589 gathered622 all3605 the earth;776 and there was1961 none3808 that moved5074 the wing,3671 or opened6475 the mouth,6310 or peeped.6850

15 Shall the ax boast itself over him who hews with it? Or shall the saw magnify itself over him who saws with it? Or shall a rod exalt itself over him who lifts it up?

15 Shall the axe1631 boast itself6286 against5921 him that heweth2672 therewith? or shall the saw4883 magnify itself1431 against5921 him that shaketh5130 it? as if the rod7626 should shake itself against5130 853 them that lift it up,7311 or as if the staff4294 should lift up7311 itself, as if it were no3808 wood.6086

16 Therefore shall the LORD God of hosts send destruction upon his rich ones; and instead of his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.

16 Therefore3651 shall the Lord,113 the Lord3068 of hosts,6635 send7971 among his fat ones4924 leanness;7332 and under8478 his glory3519 he shall kindle3344 a burning3350 like the burning3350 of a fire.784

17 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;

17 And the light216 of Israel3478 shall be1961 for a fire,784 and his Holy One6918 for a flame:3852 and it shall burn1197 and devour398 his thorns7898 and his briers8068 in one259 day;3117

18 And it shall consume the glory of his forest and of his fruitful fields, both soul and body shall perish; and they shall be as if they never had been.

18 And shall consume3615 the glory3519 of his forest,3293 and of his fruitful field,3759 both soul4480 5315 and body:1320 and they shall be1961 as when a standard-bearer5263 fainteth.4549

19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be so few that a child may write them down.

19 And the rest7605 of the trees6086 of his forest3293 shall be1961 few,4557 that a child5288 may write3789 them.

20 And it shall come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel, and those who are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again trust upon him that smote them; but they shall trust in the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

20 And it shall come to pass1961 in that1931 day,3117 that the remnant7605 of Israel,3478 and such as are escaped6413 of the house1004 of Jacob,3290 shall no3808 more5750 again3254 stay8172 upon5921 him that smote5221 them; but shall stay8172 upon5921 the LORD,3068 the Holy One6918 of Israel,3478 in truth.571

21 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.

21 The remnant7605 shall return,7725 even the remnant7605 of Jacob,3290 unto413 the mighty1368 God.410

22 For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return; their number decreased, cut off, but flooded with righteousness.

22 For3588 though518 thy people5971 Israel3478 be1961 as the sand2344 of the sea,3220 yet a remnant7605 of them shall return:7725 the consumption3631 decreed2782 shall overflow7857 with righteousness.6666

23 For the LORD God of hosts shall bring destruction and make decrees throughout all the earth.

23 For3588 the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts6635 shall make6213 a consumption,3617 even determined,2782 in the midst7130 of all3605 the land.776

24 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts: O my people that dwell in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian, who shall smite you with his rod, and shall lift up his staff against you after the manner of Egypt.

24 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts,6635 O my people5971 that dwellest3427 in Zion,6726 be not408 afraid3372 of the Assyrian:4480 804 he shall smite5221 thee with a rod,7626 and shall lift up5375 his staff4294 against5921 thee, after the manner1870 of Egypt.4714

25 For yet a very little while, and my indignation shall be accomplished, and my anger because of their destruction.

25 For3588 yet5750 a very4213 little4592 while, and the indignation2195 shall cease,3615 and mine anger639 in5921 their destruction.8399

26 And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge against them according to the slaughter of Midian at mount Horeb; and as his staff was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.

26 And the LORD3068 of hosts6635 shall stir up5782 a scourge7752 for5921 him according to the slaughter4347 of Midian4080 at the rock6697 of Oreb:6159 and as his rod4294 was upon5921 the sea,3220 so shall he lift it up5375 after the manner1870 of Egypt.4714

27 And it shall come to pass in that day that his burden shall be taken away from off your shoulder and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed from your neck because of your strength.

27 And it shall come to pass1961 in that1931 day,3117 that his burden5448 shall be taken away5493 from off4480 5921 thy shoulder,7926 and his yoke5923 from off4480 5921 thy neck,6677 and the yoke5923 shall be destroyed2254 because4480 6440 of the anointing.8081

28 He has come to Anath, he has passed Megiddo; at Michmash he has laid up his supplies;

28 He is come935 to5921 Aiath,5857 he is passed5674 to Migron;4051 at Michmash4363 he hath laid up6485 his carriages: 3627

29 They have gone over the passage of Gibeah to Beth-bethan; Ramath is afraid; Gibeah of Saul has fled.

29 They are gone over5674 the passage:4569 they have taken up their lodging4411 at Geba;1387 Ramah7414 is afraid;2729 Gibeah1390 of Saul7586 is fled.5127

30 Lift up your voice, O daughter of Gallim; give ear, O Laish; answer me, O Anathoth.

30 Lift up6670 thy voice,6963 O daughter1323 of Gallim:1554 cause it to be heard7181 unto Laish,3919 O poor6041 Anathoth.6068

31 Marmanah has been removed; the inhabitants of Gobin are resisting.

31 Madmenah4088 is removed;5074 the inhabitants3427 of Gebim1374 gather themselves to flee.5756

32 As yet he shall remain at Nob that day; he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion and against the hill of Jerusalem.

32 As yet5750 shall he remain5975 at Nob5011 that day:3117 he shall shake5130 his hand3027 against the mount2022 of the daughter1004 of Zion,6726 the hill1389 of Jerusalem.3389

33 Behold, the LORD God of hosts shall overthrow the glorious ones with might; and the high ones of stature shall be humbled, and the haughty shall be brought down.

33 Behold,2009 the Lord,113 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 shall lop5586 the bough6288 with terror:4637 and the high ones7312 of stature6967 shall be hewn down,1438 and the haughty1364 shall be humbled.8213

34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon with its glory shall fall.

34 And he shall cut down5362 the thickets5442 of the forest3293 with iron,1270 and Lebanon3844 shall fall5307 by a mighty one.117
