Bible. Isaiah
and by my wisdom; for I have understanding: and I have removed
the boundaries of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures.
Like a valiant man I have brought down their rulers.
010:014 My hand has found the riches of the peoples like a nest,
and like one gathers eggs that are abandoned, have I gathered
all the earth. There was no one who moved their wing,
or that opened their mouth, or chirped."
010:015 Should an axe brag against him who chops with it?
Should a saw exalt itself above him who saws with it?
As if a rod should lift those who lift it up, or as if a staff
should lift up someone who is not wood.
010:016 Therefore the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, will send among his fat
ones leanness; and under his glory a burning will be kindled
like the burning of fire.
010:017 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.
010:018 He will consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field,
both soul and body. It will be as when a standard bearer faints.
010:019 The remnant of the trees of his forest shall be few,
so that a child could write their number.
010:020 It will come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel,
and those who have escaped from the house of Jacob will no more
again lean on him who struck them, but shall lean on Yahweh,
the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
010:021 A remnant will return, even the remnant of Jacob,
to the mighty God.
010:022 For though your people, Israel, are like the sand of the sea,
only a remnant of them will return. A destruction is determined,
overflowing with righteousness.
010:023 For the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, will make a full end,
and that determined, in the midst of all the earth.
010:024 Therefore the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, says "My people who dwell
in Zion, don't be afraid of the Assyrian, though he strike
you with the rod, and lift up his staff against you,
as Egypt did.
010:025 For yet a very little while, and the indignation against
you will be accomplished, and my anger will be directed
to his destruction."
010:026 Yahweh of Armies will stir up a scourge against him,
as in the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb.
His rod will be over the sea, and he will lift it up like
he did against Egypt.
010:027 It will happen in that day, that his burden will depart
from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck,
and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing oil.
010:028 He has come to Aiath. He has passed through Migron.
At Michmash he stores his baggage.
010:029 They have gone over the pass. They have taken up their lodging
at Geba. Ramah trembles. Gibeah of Saul has fled.
