‏ Isaiah 10

CHAPTER 10

Judgment against Oppressors

1Woe to the ones writing wickedness; for the ones writing [²wickedness ¹are writing]; 2turning aside equity of the poor, snatching away a judgment of the needy   of my people, so that [²would be to them ¹a widow] for ravaging, and an orphan for plunder. 3And what will they do in the day of the visitation? For the affliction [²to you ³from a distance ¹shall come], and to whom shall you take refuge   for help? And where will you leave   your glory, 4  to not fall into enslavement? For [²underneath ³the ones being done away with ¹they shall fall]. And for all these things  [²shall not turn   ¹his anger], but still   his hand is high. 5Woe to the Assyrians, the rod   of my rage, and anger is in   their hands. 6  [²my anger ³against ⁵nation ⁴a lawless ¹I will send], and   [²to my ³people ¹I will give orders] to cause spoils and plunder, and to trample the cities, and to make them into dust. 7But he did not [²thus ¹ponder], and the soul did not [²thus ¹consider]; but he shall dismiss   his mind even   to utterly destroy nations -- not a few. 8And if they should say to him, You alone are ruler; 9then he shall say, Did I not take the place   above Babylon and Chalanes, where the tower was built? and I took Arabia, and Damascus, and Samaria? 10In which manner I took these, [²all ³the ⁴sovereignties ¹I shall take]. Shriek,   O carvings in Jerusalem, and in Samaria! 11[²in which ³manner ¹For] I did to Samaria, and   its handmade things, so shall I do also   to Jerusalem and to  her idols. 12And it will be whenever the lord should complete all his doings on   mount Zion and Jerusalem, he will strike against the [²mind   ¹great], against the ruler of the Assyrians, and against the haughtiness of the glory   of his eyes. 13For he said, [²in   ³strength ¹I will act]; and in the wisdom   of understanding I will remove boundaries of nations; and   [²their strength ¹I will despoil]; 14and I will shake the cities being inhabited; and [³the ⁵world ⁴entire ¹I will take   ²by hand] as a nest; and [²as ⁴being left behind ³eggs ¹I will lift them away]; and there is no one who shall evade me or contradict me, even opening a mouth and chirping. 15Shall [²be glorified ¹the axe] without the one beating with it, no. or shall [²be exalted ¹the saw] without the one drawing with it, no. Likewise shall  any lift a rod or wood and it shall not be so, no. 16But [³sends ¹the lord  ²of Hosts] for   your honor -- dishonor; and for   your glory -- fire; by a burning it shall be burnt. 17And [⁴shall be ¹the ²light   ³of Israel] for a fire; and he shall sanctify her in fire being burned; and it shall devour [³as ⁴grass ¹the ²woods] in  that day. 18[³shall be consumed ¹the ²mountains], and the hills, and the forests; and it shall devour from soul unto flesh. And it will be the one fleeing will be as the one fleeing from [²flame ¹a burning]. 19And the ones being left behind of them will be a small number, and [²child ¹a small] shall be able to write them.

The Returning Remnant

20And it will be in   that day, no longer [⁴proceed ¹will the ²one being left behind ³of Israel], and the ones being preserved   of Jacob no longer should be yielding upon the ones wronging them. But they will be yielding upon   God, the holy one   of Israel, in the truth. 21And [⁴will be ¹the one ²being left behind   ³of Jacob] relying upon the God having strength. 22And if [⁴should become ¹the ²people ³of Israel] as the sand of the sea, the vestige of them shall be preserved. 23For the matter is being completed and being rendered concise in righteousness, for [³the matter ²is the one rendering ⁴concise ¹the lord]. The lord  of forces shall act in the [²world ¹entire]. 24On account of this, Thus says the lord  of Hosts, Do not fear, my people, O ones dwelling in Zion from the Assyrians! For with a rod he shall strike you, [³a calamity ¹For ²he brings] upon you   beholding the way of Egypt. 25For yet a little time  and I will cease the anger,   but my rage is against   their plan. 26And [⁵shall arise ⁶against ⁷them ¹the lord    ²God ³of the ⁴forces] according to the calamity of Midian in Place of Affliction. And   his rage is the way   by the sea into the way   according to Egypt. 27And it will be in   that day I shall remove   his yoke from   your shoulder, and the fear of him from you; and [³shall be ruined ¹the ²yoke] from   your shoulders. 28For he shall come into the city of Angai, and shall go by to Maggedo, and in Michmash he shall place   his weapons. 29And he shall go by the ravine, and shall come into Angai; fear shall take hold of Ramah; the city of Saul shall flee. 30A snorting sound of your voice O daughter of Gallim; [²shall take heed ¹Laish]; they shall take heed in Anathoth; 31and Madmenah is startled, and the ones dwelling in Gebim. 32Enjoin them  today [²in ³the way   ¹to abide]! Enjoin   the mountain   daughter of Zion, and the hills in Jerusalem! 33Behold, the master, the lord  of Hosts puts in disorder the honorable ones with strength. And the haughty ones with insolence shall be broken, and the haughty ones shall be humbled. 34And [²shall fall ¹the haughty ones] by the sword;   and Lebanon [²with ³the ⁴haughty ones ¹will fall].
