23_ISA_10_01 woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees , And that write grievousness [ which ] they have prescribed ;
23_ISA_10_02 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 !
23_ISA_10_03 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 ?
23_ISA_10_04 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 .
23_ISA_10_05 O Assyrian , the rod of mine anger , And the staff in their hand Is mine indignation .
23_ISA_10_06 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 .
23_ISA_10_07 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 .
23_ISA_10_08 for he saith , [ are ] not my princes altogether kings ?
23_ISA_10_09 [ Is ] not Calno as Carchemish ? [ Is ] not Hamath as Arpad ? [ Is ] not Samaria as Damascus ?
23_ISA_10_10 as my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols , And whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem And of Samaria :
23_ISA_10_11 shall I not , as I have done unto Samaria And her idols , So do to Jerusalem And her idols ?
23_ISA_10_12 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 .
23_ISA_10_13 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 ] :
23_ISA_10_14 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 .
23_ISA_10_15 shall the ax 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 .
23_ISA_10_16 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 .
23_ISA_10_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 ;
23_ISA_10_18 And shall consume the glory of his forest , And of his fruitful field , Both soul And body : And they shall be as when A standardbearer fainteth .
23_ISA_10_19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few , that A child may write them .
23_ISA_10_20 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 .
23_ISA_10_21 the remnant shall Return , [ even ] the remnant of Jacob , unto the mighty God .
23_ISA_10_22 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 .
23_ISA_10_23 for the LORD God of hosts shall make A consumption , even determined , in the midst of all the land .
23_ISA_10_24 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 .
23_ISA_10_25 for yet A very little while , And the indignation shall cease , And mine anger in their destruction .
23_ISA_10_26 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 .
23_ISA_10_27 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 .
23_ISA_10_28 he Is come to Aiath , he Is passed to Migron ; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages :
23_ISA_10_29 they are gone over the passage : they have taken up their lodging at Geba ; Ramah Is afraid ; Gibeah of Saul Is fled .
23_ISA_10_30 lift up thy voice , O daughter of Gallim : cause it to be heard unto Laish , O poor Anathoth .
23_ISA_10_31 Madmenah Is removed ; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee .
23_ISA_10_32 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 .
23_ISA_10_33 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 .
23_ISA_10_34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron , And Lebanon shall fall by A mighty one .
