1Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, And that write grievousness which they have prescribed;
2To 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.
3And 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?
4Without 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.
5O 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 take the prey, And to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7Howbeit 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.
8For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings?
9Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?
10As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, And whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
11Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, So do to Jerusalem and her idols?
12Wherefore 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.
13For 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:
14And 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.
15Shall the axe 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.
16Therefore 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.
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 briers in one day;
18And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, Both soul and body: And they shall be as when a standard-bearer fainteth.
19And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, That a child may 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 stay upon him that smote them; But shall stay upon the Lord, The Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, Unto the mighty God.
