Isaiah 10 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
Judgment on Assyria
5 Woe to Assur, he is the rod of my fury, & the staff: mine indignation is in their hands.
6 I will send him to a deceitful nation, & will give him commandment against the people of my fury, that he take away spoils, and catch the prey, and put them to be trodden upon, as the mire of the streets.
7 But he shall not so think, and his heart shall not esteem it so: but his heart shall be set to destroy, and to the destruction of no few nations.
8 For he shall say:
9 Are not my princes with all kings? Is not as Charcamis, so Calano: and as Arphad, so Emath? Is not as Damascus, so Samaria?
10 Even as my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idol, so also their idols of Jerusalem, & of Samaria.
11 Shall I not as I have done to Samaria and her idols so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
12 And it shall be: when the Lord shall have accomplished all his works in mount Sion, and in Jerusalem, I will visit over the fruit of the magnifical heart of the king of Assur, and over the glory of the haughtiness of his eyes.
13 For he hath said: In the strength of mine own hand have I done it, and in mine own wisdom have I understood and I have taken away the borders of peoples, and have spoiled their princes, and have pulled down as a mighty man, them that sat on high.
14 And my hand hath found the strength of peoples as a nest: and as eggs be gathered that are left, so have I gathered together all the earth: and there was none that moved wing, and opened mouth, and once muttered.
15 Shall the axe glory against him, that cutteth with it? Or shall the saw exalt itself against him, by whom it is drawn? As if a rod should lift up itself against him, that lifteth it up, and a staff exalt itself, which is certes but wood.
16 For this cause the Dominatour the Lord of hosts shall send leanness in his fat ones: and under his glory shall burn as it were the burning of fire kindled.
