Esias 10:9-21

⁹then shall he say, Have I not taken the country above Babylon and Chalanes, where the tower was built? and have I not taken Arabia, and Damascus, and Samaria?

¹⁰As I have taken them, I will also take all the kingdoms: howl, you° idols in Jerusalem, and in Samaria.

¹¹For as I did to Samaria and her idols, so will I do also to Jerusalem and her idols.

¹²And it shall come to pass, when the Lord shall have finished doing all things on Mount Sion and Jerusalem, that I will visit upon the proud heart, even upon the ruler of the Assyrians, and upon the boastful haughtiness of his eyes.

¹³For he said, I will act in strength, and in the wisdom of my understanding I will remove the boundaries of nations, and will spoil their strength.

¹⁴And I will shake the inhabited cities: and I will take with my hand all the world as a nest: and I will even take them as eggs that have been left; and there is none that shall escape me, or contradict me.

¹⁵Shall the axe glorify itself without him that hews with it? or shall the saw lift up itself without him that uses it, as if one should lift a rod or staff? but it shall not be so;

¹⁶but the Lord of hosts shall send dishonor upon your honor, and burning fire shall be kindled upon your glory.

¹⁷And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and he shall sanctify him with burning fire, and it shall devour the wood as grass.

¹⁸In that day the mountains shall be consumed, and the hills, and the forests, and fire shall devour both soul and body: and he that flees shall be as one fleeing from burning flame.

¹⁹And they that are left of them shall be a small number, and a child shall write them.

²⁰And it shall come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel shall no more join themselves with, and the saved of Jacob shall no more trust in, them that injured them; but they shall trust in the Holy God of Israel, in truth.

²¹And the remnant of Jacob shall trust on the mighty God.
