To whom will ye flee for help, and where will ye leave your glory? 4They can but crouch under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still. 5Ah! the Assyrian! the rod of mine anger! and the staff in their hand is mine indignation. 6I 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 seize the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. 7But he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; for it is in his heart to extirpate and cut off nations not a few. 8For he saith, Are not my princes all kings? 9Is not Calno as Karkemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus? 10As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, — and their graven images exceeded those of Jerusalem and Samaria, 11— shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her images? 12And it shall come to pass, when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and upon Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stoutness of heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks. 13For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done [it], and by my wisdom, for I am intelligent; and I have removed the bounds of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures, and, like a valiant man, I have brought down them that sit [on thrones]; 14and my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the peoples, and as one gathereth forsaken eggs, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or chirped. 15— Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? shall the saw magnify itself against him that wieldeth it? As if the rod should wield them that lift it up; as if the staff should lift up [him who is] not wood! 16Therefore shall the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness, and under his glory he shall kindle a burning, like the burning of a fire: 17and 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 briars in one day, 18and it shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body; and they shall be as when a sick man fainteth. 19And the remainder of the trees of his forest shall be few: yea, a child might write them. 20And 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 rely upon him that smote them; but they shall rely upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. 21The remnant shall return, the remnant of Jacob, unto the mightyGod. 22For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, [only] a remnant of them shall return: the consumption determined shall overflow in righteousness. 23For a consumption, and [one] determined, will the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, accomplish in the midst of all the land. 24Therefore thus saith the Lord, Jehovah 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: 25for yet a very little while, and the indignation shall be accomplished, and mine anger, in their destruction. 26And Jehovah of hosts will stir up a scourge against him, according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb; and his rod [shall be] upon the sea, and he will lift it up after the manner of Egypt. 27And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck; and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. ... 28He is come to Aiath, he hath passed through Migron; at Michmash he layeth up his baggage. 29They are gone through the pass; they make their lodging at Geba: Ramah trembleth, Gibeah of Saul is fled. 30Lift up thy voice, daughter of Gallim! Hearken, O Laish! — Poor Anathoth! 31Madmenah is fugitive; the inhabitants of Gebim take to flight. 32Still a day of halting at Nob; he shaketh his hand [against] the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem. ... 33Behold the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, shall lop the boughs with violence; and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be brought low; 34and he shall make clearings in the thickets of the forest with iron; and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one. ‹Previous chapterIsaiah 9Next chapterIsaiah 11›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsIsaiah 10 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
