BibleText:

1 Woe to them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness [which] they have prescribed;
2 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!
3 And what will you do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation [which] will come from far? to whom will you flee for help? and where will you leave your glory?
4 Without me they will bow down under the prisoners, and they will fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand [is] stretched out still.
5 O Assyrian, the rod of my anger, and the staff in their hand is my indignation.
6 I will send him against a 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.
7 Howbeit he means not so, neither does his heart think so; but [it is] in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.
8 For he says, [Are] not my princes altogether kings?
9 [Is] not Calno as Carchemish? [is] not Hamath as Arpad? [is] not Samaria as Damascus?
10 As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images excelled them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
11 Will I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
12 Therefore it will come to pass, [that] when the Lord has 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.
13 For he says, 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]:
14 And my hand has found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathers eggs [that are] left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.
15 Will the axe boast itself against him that hews with it? [or] will the saw magnify itself against him that shakes 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.
16 Therefore will the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he will kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.
17 And the light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it will burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;
18 And will consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they will be as when a standardbearer faints.
19 And the rest of the trees of his forest will be few, that a child may write them.
20 And it will come to pass in that day, [that] the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, will no more again stay upon him that smote them; but will stay upon the LORD [Yahweh], the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 The remnant will return, [even] the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.
22 For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, [yet] a remnant of them will return: the consumption decreed will overflow with righteousness.
23 For the Lord GOD of hosts will make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land.
24 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwell in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he will smite you with a rod, and will lift up his staff against you, after the manner of Egypt.
25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation will cease, and my anger in their destruction.
26 And the LORD [Yahweh] of hosts will 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 will he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
27 And it will come to pass in that day, [that] his burden will be taken away from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing.
28 He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he has laid up his carriages:
29 They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled.
30 Lift up your voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard to Laish, O poor Anathoth.
31 Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.
32 As yet will he remain at Nob that day: he will shake his hand [against] the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Behold, the Lord, the LORD [Yahweh] of hosts, will lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature [will be] hewn down, and the haughty will be humbled.
34 And he will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon will fall by a mighty one.
