H1945
Woe
H2710 [H8802]
to them that decree
H205
unrighteous
H2711
decrees
H3789 [H8764]
, and that write
H5999
grievousness
H3789 [H8765]
which they have prescribed;
2
H5186 [H8687]
To turn aside
H1800
the needy
H1779
from judgment
H1497 [H8800]
, and to take away
H4941
the right
H6041
from the poor
H5971
of my people
H490
, that widows
H7998
may be their prey
H962 [H8799]
, and that they may rob
H3490
the fatherless!
3
H6213 [H8799]
And what will ye do
H3117
in the day
H6486
of punishment
H7722
, and in the desolation
H935 [H8799]
which shall come
H4801
from far
H5127 [H8799]
? to whom will ye flee
H5833
for help
H5800 [H8799]
? and where will ye leave
H3519
your glory?
4
H1115
Without me they shall
H3766 [H8804]
bow down
H616
under the prisoners
H5307 [H8799]
, and they shall fall
H2026 [H8803]
under the slain
H639
. For all this his anger
H7725 [H8804]
is not turned away
H3027
, but his hand
H5186 [H8803]
is stretched out still.
5
H1945
O
H804
Assyrian
H7626
, the rod
H639
of my anger
H4294
, and the staff
H3027
in their hand
H2195
is my indignation.
6
H7971 [H8762]
I will send
H2611
him against an hypocritical
H1471
nation
H5971
, and against the people
H5678
of my wrath
H6680 [H8762]
will I command him
H7997 [H8800]
, to take
H7998
the spoil
H962 [H8800]
, and to take
H957
the prey
H7760 H4823 [H8800]
, and to tread them down
H2563
like the mire
H2351
of the streets.
7
H1819 [H8762]
Yet he meaneth
H3824
not so, neither doth his heart
H2803 [H8799]
think
H3824
so; but it is in his heart
H8045 [H8687]
to destroy
H3772 [H8687]
and cut off
H1471
nations
H4592
not a few.
9
H3641
Is not Calno
H3751
as Carchemish
H2574
? is not Hamath
H774
as Arpad
H8111
? is not Samaria
H1834
as Damascus?
10
H3027
As my hand
H4672 [H8804]
hath found
H4467
the kingdoms
H457
of the idols
H6456
, and whose graven images
H3389
excelled them of Jerusalem
H8111
and of Samaria;
11
H6213 [H8804]
Shall I not, as I have done
H8111
to Samaria
H457
and her idols
H6213 [H8799]
, so do
H3389
to Jerusalem
H6091
and her idols?
12
H136
Therefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord
H1214 [H8762]
hath performed
H4639
his whole work
H2022
upon mount
H6726
Zion
H3389
and on Jerusalem
H6485 [H8799]
, I will punish
H6529
the fruit
H1433
of the stout
H3824
heart
H4428
of the king
H804
of Assyria
H8597
, and the glory
H7312
of his high
H5869
looks.
13
H559 [H8804]
For he saith
H3581
, By the strength
H3027
of my hand
H6213 [H8804]
I have done
H2451
it, and by my wisdom
H995 [H8738]
; for I am prudent
H5493 [H8686]
: and I have removed
H1367
the bounds
H5971
of the people
H8154 [H8782]
, and have robbed
H6259 H6264 [H8675]
their treasures
H3381 [H8686]
, and I have put down
H3427 [H8802]
the inhabitants
H47 H3524
like a valiant man:
14
H3027
And my hand
H4672 [H8799]
hath found
H7064
as a nest
H2428
the riches
H5971
of the people
H622 [H8800]
: and as one gathereth
H1000
eggs
H5800 [H8803]
that are left
H622 [H8804]
, have I gathered
H776
all the earth
H5074 [H8802]
; and there was none that moved
H3671
the wing
H6475 [H8802]
, or opened
H6310
the mouth
H6850 [H8772]
, or peeped.
15
H1631
Shall the axe
H6286 [H8691]
boast
H2672 [H8802]
itself against him that heweth
H4883
with it? or shall the saw
H1431 [H8691]
magnify
H5130 [H8688]
itself against him that moveth
H7626
it? as if the rod
H5130 [H8687]
should shake
H7311 [H8688]
itself against them that lift it
H4294
, or as if the staff
H7311 [H8687]
should lift
H6086
itself, as if it were no wood.
16
H113
Therefore shall the Lord
H136 H3068 [H8676]
, the Lord
H6635
of hosts
H7971 [H8762]
, send
H4924
among his fat ones
H7332
leanness
H3519
; and under his glory
H3344 [H8799]
he shall kindle
H3350
a burning
H784
like the burning of a fire.
17
H216
And the light
H3478
of Israel
H784
shall be for a fire
H6918
, and his Holy One
H3852
for a flame
H1197 [H8804]
: and it shall burn
H398 [H8804]
and devour
H7898
his thorns
H8068
and his briers
H259
in one
H3117
day;
18
H3615 [H8762]
And shall consume
H3519
the glory
H3293
of his forest
H3759
, and of his fruitful field
H5315
, both soul
H1320
and body
H5263 [H8802]
: and they shall be as when a standardbearer
H4549 [H8800]
fainteth.
19
H7605
And the rest
H6086
of the trees
H3293
of his forest
H4557
shall be few
H5288
, that a child
H3789 [H8799]
may write them.
20
H3117
And it shall come to pass in that day
H7605
, that the remnant
H3478
of Israel
H6413
, and such as have escaped
H1004
of the house
H3290
of Jacob
H3254 [H8686]
, shall no more again
H8172 [H8736]
lean
H5221 [H8688]
upon him that smote
H8172 [H8738]
them; but shall lean
H3068
upon the LORD
H6918
, the Holy One
H3478
of Israel
H571
, in truth.
21
H7605
The remnant
H7725 [H8799]
shall return
H7605
, even the remnant
H3290
of Jacob
H1368
, to the mighty
H410
God.
22
H5971
For though thy people
H3478
Israel
H2344
be as the sand
H3220
of the sea
H7605
, yet a remnant
H7725 [H8799]
of them shall return
H3631
: the full end
H2782 [H8803]
decreed
H7857 [H8802]
shall overflow
H6666
with righteousness.
23
H136
For the Lord
H3069
GOD
H6635
of hosts
H6213 [H8802]
shall make
H3617
a full end
H2782 [H8737]
, even determined
H7130
, in the midst
H776
of all the land.
24
H559 [H8804]
Therefore thus saith
H136
the Lord
H3069
GOD
H6635
of hosts
H5971
, O my people
H3427 [H8802]
that dwellest
H6726
in Zion
H3372 [H8799]
, be not afraid
H804
of the Assyrian
H5221 [H8686]
: he shall smite
H7626
thee with a rod
H5375 [H8799]
, and shall lift up
H4294
his staff
H1870
against thee, after the manner
H4714
of Egypt.
25
H4213
For yet a very
H4592
little while
H2195
, and the indignation
H3615 [H8804]
shall cease
H639
, and my anger
H8399
in their destruction.
26
H3068
And the LORD
H6635
of hosts
H5782 [H8790]
shall raise up
H7752
a scourge
H4347
for him according to the slaughter
H4080
of Midian
H6697
at the rock
H6159
of Oreb
H4294
: and as his rod
H3220
was upon the sea
H5375 [H8804]
, so shall he lift it up
H1870
after the manner
H4714
of Egypt.
27
H3117
And it shall come to pass in that day
H5448
, that his burden
H5493 [H8799]
shall be taken away
H7926
from off thy shoulder
H5923
, and his yoke
H6677
from off thy neck
H5923
, and the yoke
H2254 [H8795]
shall be destroyed
H6440
because
H8081
of the anointing.
28
H935 [H8804]
He is come
H5857
to Aiath
H5674 [H8804]
, he is passed
H4051
to Migron
H4363
; at Michmash
H6485 [H8686]
he hath attended to
H3627
his carriages:
29
H5674 [H8804]
They have gone over
H4569
the pass
H4411
: they have taken up their lodging
H1387
at Geba
H7414
; Ramah
H2729 [H8804]
is afraid
H1390
; Gibeah
H7586
of Saul
H5127 [H8804]
hath fled.
30
H6670 [H8761]
Lift up
H6963
thy voice
H1323
, O daughter
H1530
of
H1554
Gallim
H7181 [H8685]
: cause it to be heard
H3919
to Laish
H6041
, O poor
H6068
Anathoth.
31
H4088
Madmenah
H5074 [H8804]
is removed
H3427 [H8802]
; the inhabitants
H1374
of Gebim
H5756 [H8689]
gather themselves to flee.
32
H5975 [H8800]
As yet shall he remain
H5011
at Nob
H3117
that day
H5130 [H8787]
: he shall shake
H3027
his hand
H2022
against the mount
H1323 H1004 [H8675]
of the daughter
H6726
of Zion
H1389
, the hill
H3389
of Jerusalem.
