ISA-10:1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that 
write grievousness [which] they have prescribed;



ISA-10:2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away 
the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their 
prey, and [that] they may rob the fatherless!



ISA-10:3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in 
the desolation [which] shall come from far? to whom will ye flee 
for help? and where will ye leave your glory?



ISA-10:4 Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and 
they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not 
turned away, but his hand [is] stretched out still.



ISA-10:5 O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in 
their hand is mine indignation.



ISA-10:6 I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and 
against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take 
the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the 
mire of the streets.



ISA-10:7 Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think 
so; but [it is] in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not 
a few.



ISA-10:8 For he saith, [Are] not my princes altogether kings?



ISA-10:9 [Is] not Calno as Carchemish? [is] not Hamath as Arpad? 
[is] not Samaria as Damascus?



ISA-10:10 As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and 
whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria:



ISA-10:11 Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols,
 so do to Jerusalem and her idols?



ISA-10:12 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.



ISA-10:13 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]:



ISA-10:14 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.



ISA-10:15 Shall the ax 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.



ISA-10:16 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.



ISA-10:17 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;



ISA-10:18 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his 
fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a 
standardbearer fainteth.



ISA-10:19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, 
that a child may write them.



ISA-10:20 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.



ISA-10:21 The remnant shall return, [even] the remnant of Jacob, 
unto the mighty God.



ISA-10:22 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.



ISA-10:23 For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a consumption, 
even determined, in the midst of all the land.



ISA-10:24 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.



ISA-10:25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall 
cease, and mine anger in their destruction.



ISA-10:26 And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him 
according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and 
[as] his rod [was] upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after 
the manner of Egypt.



ISA-10:27 And 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.



ISA-10:28 He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at 
Michmash he hath laid up his carriages:



ISA-10:29 They are gone over the passage: they have taken up 
their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled.



ISA-10:30 Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to 
be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.



ISA-10:31 Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather 
themselves to flee.



ISA-10:32 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake 
his hand [against] the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill 
of Jerusalem.



ISA-10:33 Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the 
bough with terror: and the high ones of stature [shall be] hewn 
down, and the haughty shall be humbled.



ISA-10:34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with 
iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
