1 Woe 1945 unto them that decree 2710 unrighteous 205 decrees 2711, and that write 3789 grievousness 5999 which they have prescribed 3789;
2 To turn aside 5186 the needy 1800 from judgment 1779, and to take away 1497 the right 4941 from the poor 6041 of my people 5971, that widows 490 may be their prey 7998, and that they may rob 962 the fatherless 3490!
3 And what will ye do 6213 in the day 3117 of visitation 6486, and in the desolation 7722 which shall come 935 from far 4801? to whom will ye flee 5127 for help 5833? and where will ye leave 5800 your glory 3519?
4 Without me they shall 1115 bow down 3766 under the prisoners 616, and they shall fall 5307 under the slain 2026. For all this his anger 639 is not turned away 7725, but his hand 3027 is stretched out still 5186.
5 O 1945 Assyrian 804, the rod 7626 of mine anger 639, and the staff 4294 in their hand 3027 is mine indignation 2195.
6 I will send 7971 him against an hypocritical 2611 nation 1471, and against the people 5971 of my wrath 5678 will I give him a charge 6680, to take 7997 the spoil 7998, and to take 962 the prey 957, and to tread them down 7760 4823 like the mire 2563 of the streets 2351.
7 Howbeit he meaneth 1819 not so, neither doth his heart 3824 think 2803 so; but it is in his heart 3824 to destroy 8045 and cut off 3772 nations 1471 not a few 4592.
8 For he saith 559, Are not my princes 8269 altogether 3162 kings 4428?
9 Is not Calno 3641 as Carchemish 3751? is not Hamath 2574 as Arpad 774? is not Samaria 8111 as Damascus 1834?
10 As my hand 3027 hath found 4672 the kingdoms 4467 of the idols 457, and whose graven images 6456 did excel them of Jerusalem 3389 and of Samaria 8111;
11 Shall I not, as I have done 6213 unto Samaria 8111 and her idols 457, so do 6213 to Jerusalem 3389 and her idols 6091?
12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord 136 hath performed 1214 his whole work 4639 upon mount 2022 Zion 6726 and on Jerusalem 3389, I will punish 6485 the fruit 6529 of the stout 1433 heart 3824 of the king 4428 of Assyria 804, and the glory 8597 of his high 7312 looks 5869.
13 For he saith 559, By the strength 3581 of my hand 3027 I have done 6213 it, and by my wisdom 2451; for I am prudent 995: and I have removed 5493 the bounds 1367 of the people 5971, and have robbed 8154 their treasures 6259 6264, and I have put down 3381 the inhabitants 3427 like a valiant 47 3524 man:
14 And my hand 3027 hath found 4672 as a nest 7064 the riches 2428 of the people 5971: and as one gathereth 622 eggs 1000 that are left 5800, have I gathered 622 all the earth 776; and there was none that moved 5074 the wing 3671, or opened 6475 the mouth 6310, or peeped 6850.
15 Shall the axe 1631 boast 6286 itself against him that heweth 2672 therewith? or shall the saw 4883 magnify 1431 itself against him that shaketh 5130 it? as if the rod 7626 should shake 5130 itself against them that lift it up 7311, or as if the staff 4294 should lift up 7311 itself, as if it were no wood 6086.
16 Therefore shall the Lord 113, the Lord 136 3068 of hosts 6635, send 7971 among his fat ones 4924 leanness 7332; and under his glory 3519 he shall kindle 3344 a burning 3350 like the burning of a fire 784.
17 And the light 216 of Israel 3478 shall be for a fire 784, and his Holy One 6918 for a flame 3852: and it shall burn 1197 and devour 398 his thorns 7898 and his briers 8068 in one 259 day 3117;
18 And shall consume 3615 the glory 3519 of his forest 3293, and of his fruitful field 3759, both soul 5315 and body 1320: and they shall be as when a standardbearer 5263 fainteth 4549.
19 And the rest 7605 of the trees 6086 of his forest 3293 shall be few 4557, that a child 5288 may write 3789 them.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day 3117, that the remnant 7605 of Israel 3478, and such as are escaped 6413 of the house 1004 of Jacob 3290, shall no more again 3254 stay 8172 upon him that smote 5221 them; but shall stay 8172 upon the LORD 3068, the Holy One 6918 of Israel 3478, in truth 571.
21 The remnant 7605 shall return 7725, even the remnant 7605 of Jacob 3290, unto the mighty 1368 God 410.
22 For though thy people 5971 Israel 3478 be as the sand 2344 of the sea 3220, yet a remnant 7605 of them shall return 7725: the consumption 3631 decreed 2782 shall overflow 7857 with righteousness 6666.
23 For the Lord 136 GOD 3069 of hosts 6635 shall make 6213 a consumption 3617, even determined 2782, in the midst 7130 of all the land 776.
24 Therefore thus saith 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3069 of hosts 6635, O my people 5971 that dwellest 3427 in Zion 6726, be not afraid 3372 of the Assyrian 804: he shall smite 5221 thee with a rod 7626, and shall lift up 5375 his staff 4294 against thee, after the manner 1870 of Egypt 4714.
25 For yet a very 4213 little while 4592, and the indignation 2195 shall cease 3615, and mine anger 639 in their destruction 8399.
26 And the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 shall stir up 5782 a scourge 7752 for him according to the slaughter 4347 of Midian 4080 at the rock 6697 of Oreb 6159: and as his rod 4294 was upon the sea 3220, so shall he lift it up 5375 after the manner 1870 of Egypt 4714.
27 And it shall come to pass in that day 3117, that his burden 5448 shall be taken away 5493 from off thy shoulder 7926, and his yoke 5923 from off thy neck 6677, and the yoke 5923 shall be destroyed 2254 because 6440 of the anointing 8081.
28 He is come 935 to Aiath 5857, he is passed 5674 to Migron 4051; at Michmash 4363 he hath laid up 6485 his carriages 3627:
29 They are gone over 5674 the passage 4569: they have taken up their lodging 4411 at Geba 1387; Ramah 7414 is afraid 2729; Gibeah 1390 of Saul 7586 is fled 5127.
30 Lift up 6670 thy voice 6963, O daughter 1323 of 1530 Gallim 1554: cause it to be heard 7181 unto Laish 3919, O poor 6041 Anathoth 6068.
31 Madmenah 4088 is removed 5074; the inhabitants 3427 of Gebim 1374 gather themselves to flee 5756.
32 As yet shall he remain 5975 at Nob 5011 that day 3117: he shall shake 5130 his hand 3027 against the mount 2022 of the daughter 1323 1004 of Zion 6726, the hill 1389 of Jerusalem 3389.
33 Behold, the Lord 113, the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, shall lop 5586 the bough 6288 with terror 4637: and the high ones 7311 of stature 6967 shall be hewn down 1438, and the haughty 1364 shall be humbled 8213.
34 And he shall cut down 5362 the thickets 5442 of the forest 3293 with iron 1270, and Lebanon 3844 shall fall 5307 by a mighty one 117.
