Bible. Isaiah
23:010:011 Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do
to Jerusalem and her idols?
23:010:012 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.
23:010:013 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:
23:010:014 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.
23:010:015 Shall the axe 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.
23:010:016 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.
23:010:017 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;
23:010:018 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful
field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a
standard-bearer fainteth.
23:010:019 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a
child may write them.
23:010:020 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.
23:010:021 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the
mighty God.
23:010:022 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.
23:010:023 For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a consumption, even
determined, in the midst of all the land.
23:010:024 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.
23:010:025 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease,
and mine anger in their destruction.
