1 # Woe <01945> unto them that decree <02710> (8802) unrighteous <0205> decrees <02711>, and that write <03789> (8764) grievousness <05999> which they have prescribed <03789> (8765);
2 To turn aside <05186> (8687) the needy <01800> from judgment <01779>, and to take away <01497> (8800) the right <04941> from the poor <06041> of my people <05971>, that widows <0490> may be their prey <07998>, and that they may rob <0962> (8799) the fatherless <03490>!
3 And what will ye do <06213> (8799) in the day <03117> of visitation <06486>, and in the desolation <07722> which shall come <0935> (8799) from far <04801>? to whom will ye flee <05127> (8799) for help <05833>? and where will ye leave <05800> (8799) your glory <03519>?
4 Without me they shall <01115> bow down <03766> (8804) under the prisoners <0616>, and they shall fall <05307> (8799) under the slain <02026> (8803). For all this his anger <0639> is not turned away <07725> (8804), but his hand <03027> is stretched out still <05186> (8803).
5 # O <01945> Assyrian <0804>, the rod <07626> of mine anger <0639>, and the staff <04294> in their hand <03027> is mine indignation <02195>.
6 I will send <07971> (8762) him against an hypocritical <02611> nation <01471>, and against the people <05971> of my wrath <05678> will I give him a charge <06680> (8762), to take <07997> (8800) the spoil <07998>, and to take <0962> (8800) the prey <0957>, and to tread them down <07760> (8800) <04823> like the mire <02563> of the streets <02351> .
7 Howbeit he meaneth <01819> (8762) not so, neither doth his heart <03824> think <02803> (8799) so; but it is in his heart <03824> to destroy <08045> (8687) and cut off <03772> (8687) nations <01471> not a few <04592> .
8 For he saith <0559> (8799), Are not my princes <08269> altogether <03162> kings <04428>?
9 Is not Calno <03641> as Carchemish <03751>? is not Hamath <02574> as Arpad <0774>? is not Samaria <08111> as Damascus <01834>?
10 As my hand <03027> hath found <04672> (8804) the kingdoms <04467> of the idols <0457>, and whose graven images <06456> did excel them of Jerusalem <03389> and of Samaria <08111>;
11 Shall I not, as I have done <06213> (8804) unto Samaria <08111> and her idols <0457>, so do <06213> (8799) to Jerusalem <03389> and her idols <06091>?
12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord <0136> hath performed <01214> (8762) his whole work <04639> upon mount <02022> Zion <06726> and on Jerusalem <03389>, I will punish <06485> (8799) the fruit <06529> of the stout <01433> heart <03824> of the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>, and the glory <08597> of his high <07312> looks <05869>.
13 For he saith <0559> (8804), By the strength <03581> of my hand <03027> I have done <06213> (8804) it, and by my wisdom <02451>; for I am prudent <0995> (8738): and I have removed <05493> (8686) the bounds <01367> of the people <05971>, and have robbed <08154> (8782) their treasures <06259> (8675) <06264>, and I have put down <03381> (8686) the inhabitants <03427> (8802) like a valiant <047> <03524> man:
14 And my hand <03027> hath found <04672> (8799) as a nest <07064> the riches <02428> of the people <05971> : and as one gathereth <0622> (8800) eggs <01000> that are left <05800> (8803), have I gathered <0622> (8804) all the earth <0776>; and there was none that moved <05074> (8802) the wing <03671>, or opened <06475> (8802) the mouth <06310>, or peeped <06850> (8772).
15 Shall the axe <01631> boast <06286> (8691) itself against him that heweth <02672> (8802) therewith? or shall the saw <04883> magnify <01431> (8691) itself against him that shaketh <05130> (8688) it? as if the rod <07626> should shake <05130> (8687) itself against them that lift it up <07311> (8688), or as if the staff <04294> should lift up <07311> (8687) itself, as if it were no wood <06086>.
16 Therefore shall the Lord <0113>, the Lord <0136> (8676) <03068> of hosts <06635>, send <07971> (8762) among his fat ones <04924> leanness <07332>; and under his glory <03519> he shall kindle <03344> (8799) a burning <03350> like the burning of a fire <0784>.
17 And the light <0216> of Israel <03478> shall be for a fire <0784>, and his Holy One <06918> for a flame <03852> : and it shall burn <01197> (8804) and devour <0398> (8804) his thorns <07898> and his briers <08068> in one <0259> day <03117>;
18 And shall consume <03615> (8762) the glory <03519> of his forest <03293>, and of his fruitful field <03759>, both soul <05315> and body <01320>: and they shall be as when a standardbearer <05263> (8802) fainteth <04549> (8800).
19 And the rest <07605> of the trees <06086> of his forest <03293> shall be few <04557>, that a child <05288> may write <03789> (8799) them.
20 # And it shall come to pass in that day <03117>, that the remnant <07605> of Israel <03478>, and such as are escaped <06413> of the house <01004> of Jacob <03290>, shall no more again <03254> (8686) stay <08172> (8736) upon him that smote <05221> (8688) them; but shall stay <08172> (8738) upon the LORD <03068>, the Holy One <06918> of Israel <03478>, in truth <0571>.
21 The remnant <07605> shall return <07725> (8799), even the remnant <07605> of Jacob <03290>, unto the mighty <01368> God <0410>.
22 For though thy people <05971> Israel <03478> be as the sand <02344> of the sea <03220>, yet a remnant <07605> of them shall return <07725> (8799): the consumption <03631> decreed <02782> (8803) shall overflow <07857> (8802) with righteousness <06666>.
23 For the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> of hosts <06635> shall make <06213> (8802) a consumption <03617> , even determined <02782> (8737), in the midst <07130> of all the land <0776>.
24 # Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> of hosts <06635>, O my people <05971> that dwellest <03427> (8802) in Zion <06726>, be not afraid <03372> (8799) of the Assyrian <0804>: he shall smite <05221> (8686) thee with a rod <07626>, and shall lift up <05375> (8799) his staff <04294> against thee, after the manner <01870> of Egypt <04714>.
25 For yet a very <04213> little while <04592>, and the indignation <02195> shall cease <03615> (8804), and mine anger <0639> in their destruction <08399>.
26 And the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> shall stir up <05782> (8790) a scourge <07752> for him according to the slaughter <04347> of Midian <04080> at the rock <06697> of Oreb <06159>: and as his rod <04294> was upon the sea <03220> , so shall he lift it up <05375> (8804) after the manner <01870> of Egypt <04714>.
27 And it shall come to pass in that day <03117>, that his burden <05448> shall be taken away <05493> (8799) from off thy shoulder <07926>, and his yoke <05923> from off thy neck <06677>, and the yoke <05923> shall be destroyed <02254> (8795) because <06440> of the anointing <08081>.

28 He is come <0935> (8804) to Aiath <05857>, he is passed <05674> (8804) to Migron <04051>; at Michmash <04363> he hath laid up <06485> (8686) his carriages <03627>:
29 They are gone over <05674> (8804) the passage <04569>: they have taken up their lodging <04411> at Geba <01387> ; Ramah <07414> is afraid <02729> (8804); Gibeah <01390> of Saul <07586> is fled <05127> (8804).
30 Lift up <06670> (8761) thy voice <06963>, O daughter <01323> of <01530> Gallim <01554>: cause it to be heard <07181> (8685) unto Laish <03919>, O poor <06041> Anathoth <06068>.
31 Madmenah <04088> is removed <05074> (8804); the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Gebim <01374> gather themselves to flee <05756> (8689).
32 As yet shall he remain <05975> (8800) at Nob <05011> that day <03117>: he shall shake <05130> (8787) his hand <03027> against the mount <02022> of the daughter <01323> (8675) <01004> of Zion <06726>, the hill <01389> of Jerusalem <03389>.
33 Behold, the Lord <0113>, the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, shall lop <05586> (8764) the bough <06288> with terror <04637>: and the high ones <07311> (8802) of stature <06967> shall be hewn down <01438> (8803), and the haughty <01364> shall be humbled <08213> (8799).
34 And he shall cut down <05362> (8765) the thickets <05442> of the forest <03293> with iron <01270>, and Lebanon <03844> shall fall <05307> (8799) by a mighty one <0117>.
