10:7
ipse autem non sic arbitrabitur et cor eius non itaaestimabit sed ad conterendum erit cor eius et ad internicionemgentium non paucarum

010:001
Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;

010:002
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!

010:003
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?

010:004
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.

010:005
O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.

010:006
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.

010:007
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.

010:008
For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings?

010:009
Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?

010:010
As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;

010:011
Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?

010:012
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.

010:013
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:

010:014
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.

010:015
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.

010:016
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.

010:017
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;

010:018
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.

010:019
And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.

010:020
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.

010:021
The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.

010:022
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.

010:023
For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land.

010:024
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.

010:025
For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.

010:026
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.

010:027
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.

010:028
He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages:

010:029
They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled.

010:030
Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.

010:031
Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.

010:032
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.

010:033
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.

010:034
And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
