Isaiah 10 (WEBP)

[1] Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write oppressive decrees
[2] to deprive the needy of justice, and to rob the poor among my people of their rights, that widows may be their plunder, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!
[3] What will you do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? Where will you leave your wealth?
[4] They will only bow down under the prisoners, and will fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
[5] Alas Assyrian, the rod of my anger, the staff in whose hand is my indignation!
[6] I will send him against a profane nation, and against the people who anger me I will give him a command to take the plunder and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
[7] However, he doesn’t mean so, neither does his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off not a few nations.
[8] For he says, “Aren’t all of my princes kings?
[9] Isn’t Calno like Carchemish? Isn’t Hamath like Arpad? Isn’t Samaria like Damascus?”
[10] As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, whose engraved images exceeded those of Jerusalem and of Samaria,
[11] shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
[12] Therefore it will happen that when the Lord has performed his whole work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the willful proud heart of the king of Assyria, and the insolence of his arrogant looks.
[13] For he has said, “By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I have understanding. I have removed the boundaries of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures. Like a valiant man I have brought down their rulers.
[14] My hand has found the riches of the peoples like a nest, and like one gathers eggs that are abandoned, I have gathered all the earth. There was no one who moved their wing, or that opened their mouth, or chirped.”
[15] Should an ax brag against him who chops with it? Should a saw exalt itself above him who saws with it? As if a rod should lift those who lift it up, or as if a staff should lift up someone who is not wood.
[16] Therefore the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, will send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory a burning will be kindled like the burning of fire.
[17] The light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it will burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day.
[18] He will consume the glory of his forest and of his fruitful field, both soul and body. It will be as when a standard bearer faints.
[19] The remnant of the trees of his forest shall be few, so that a child could write their number.
[20] It will come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel, and those who have escaped from the house of Jacob will no more again lean on him who struck them, but shall lean on Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
[21] A remnant will return, even the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.
[22] For though your people, Israel, are like the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will return. A destruction is determined, overflowing with righteousness.
[23] For the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, will make a full end, and that determined, throughout all the earth.
[24] Therefore the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, says, “My people who dwell in Zion, don’t be afraid of the Assyrian, though he strike you with the rod, and lift up his staff against you, as Egypt did.
[25] For yet a very little while, and the indignation against you will be accomplished, and my anger will be directed to his destruction.”
[26] Yahweh of Armies will stir up a scourge against him, as in the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb. His rod will be over the sea, and he will lift it up like he did against Egypt.
[27] It will happen in that day that his burden will depart from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing oil.
[28] He has come to Aiath. He has passed through Migron. At Michmash he stores his baggage.
[29] They have gone over the pass. They have taken up their lodging at Geba. Ramah trembles. Gibeah of Saul has fled.
[30] Cry aloud with your voice, daughter of Gallim! Listen, Laishah! You poor Anathoth!
[31] Madmenah is a fugitive. The inhabitants of Gebim flee for safety.
[32] This very day he will halt at Nob. He shakes his hand at the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
[33] Behold, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, will lop the boughs with terror. The tall will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.
[34] He will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon will fall by the Mighty One.

Isaiah 10 (KJVS)

[1] Woe unto them that decree () unrighteous decrees, and that write () grievousness which they have prescribed; ()
[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!
[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?
[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. ()
[5] O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.
[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.
[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.
[8] For he saith, () Are not my princes altogether kings?
[9] Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
[10] As my hand hath found () the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
[11] Shall I not, as I have done () unto Samaria and her idols, so do () to Jerusalem and her idols?
[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.
[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:
[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. ()
[15] Shall 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.
[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.
[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;
[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. ()
[19] And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write () them.
[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.
[21] The remnant shall return, () even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
[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.
[23] For the Lord God of hosts shall make () a consumption, even determined, () in the midst of all the land.
[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.
[25] For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, () and mine anger in their destruction.
[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.
[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.
[28] He is come () to Aiath, he is passed () to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up () his carriages:
[29] they are gone over () the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; () Gibeah of Saul is fled. ()
[30] Lift up () thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard () unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.
[31] Madmenah is removed; () the inhabitants () of Gebim gather themselves to flee. ()
[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.
[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. ()
[34] And he shall cut down () the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall () by a mighty one.

Isaiah 10 (BYZ)

[1] ουαι τοις γραφουσιν πονηριαν γραφοντες γαρ πονηριαν γραφουσιν
[2] εκκλινοντες κρισιν πτωχων αρπαζοντες κριμα πενητων του λαου μου ωστε ειναι αυτοις χηραν εις αρπαγην και ορφανον εις προνομην
[3] και τι ποιησουσιν εν τη ημερα της επισκοπης η γαρ θλιψις υμιν πορρωθεν ηξει και προς τινα καταφευξεσθε του βοηθηθηναι και που καταλειψετε την δοξαν υμων
[4] του μη εμπεσειν εις επαγωγην επι πασι τουτοις ουκ απεστραφη ο θυμος αλλ ετι η χειρ υψηλη
[5] ουαι ασσυριοις η ραβδος του θυμου μου και οργης εστιν εν ταις χερσιν αυτων
[6] την οργην μου εις εθνος ανομον αποστελω και τω εμω λαω συνταξω ποιησαι σκυλα και προνομην και καταπατειν τας πολεις και θειναι αυτας εις κονιορτον
[7] αυτος δε ουχ ουτως ενεθυμηθη και τη ψυχη ουχ ουτως λελογισται αλλα απαλλαξει ο νους αυτου και του εθνη εξολεθρευσαι ουκ ολιγα
[8] και εαν ειπωσιν αυτω συ μονος ει αρχων
[9] και ερει ουκ ελαβον την χωραν την επανω βαβυλωνος και χαλαννη ου ο πυργος ωκοδομηθη και ελαβον αραβιαν και δαμασκον και σαμαρειαν
[10] ον τροπον ταυτας ελαβον εν τη χειρι μου και πασας τας αρχας λημψομαι ολολυξατε τα γλυπτα εν ιερουσαλημ και εν σαμαρεια
[11] ον τροπον γαρ εποιησα σαμαρεια και τοις χειροποιητοις αυτης ουτως ποιησω και ιερουσαλημ και τοις ειδωλοις αυτης
[12] και εσται οταν συντελεση κυριος παντα ποιων εν τω ορει σιων και εν ιερουσαλημ επαξει επι τον νουν τον μεγαν τον αρχοντα των ασσυριων και επι το υψος της δοξης των οφθαλμων αυτου
[13] ειπεν γαρ τη ισχυι ποιησω και τη σοφια της συνεσεως αφελω ορια εθνων και την ισχυν αυτων προνομευσω και σεισω πολεις κατοικουμενας
[14] και την οικουμενην ολην καταλημψομαι τη χειρι ως νοσσιαν και ως καταλελειμμενα ωα αρω και ουκ εστιν ος διαφευξεται με η αντειπη μοι
[15] μη δοξασθησεται αξινη ανευ του κοπτοντος εν αυτη η υψωθησεται πριων ανευ του ελκοντος αυτον ωσαυτως εαν τις αρη ραβδον η ξυλον
[16] και ουχ ουτως αλλα αποστελει κυριος σαβαωθ εις την σην τιμην ατιμιαν και εις την σην δοξαν πυρ καιομενον καυθησεται
[17] και εσται το φως του ισραηλ εις πυρ και αγιασει αυτον εν πυρι καιομενω και φαγεται ωσει χορτον την υλην τη ημερα εκεινη
[18] αποσβεσθησεται τα ορη και οι βουνοι και οι δρυμοι και καταφαγεται απο ψυχης εως σαρκων και εσται ο φευγων ως ο φευγων απο φλογος καιομενης
[19] και οι καταλειφθεντες απ αυτων εσονται αριθμος και παιδιον γραψει αυτους
[20] και εσται εν τη ημερα εκεινη ουκετι προστεθησεται το καταλειφθεν ισραηλ και οι σωθεντες του ιακωβ ουκετι μη πεποιθοτες ωσιν επι τους αδικησαντας αυτους αλλα εσονται πεποιθοτες επι τον θεον τον αγιον του ισραηλ τη αληθεια
[21] και εσται το καταλειφθεν του ιακωβ επι θεον ισχυοντα
[22] και εαν γενηται ο λαος ισραηλ ως η αμμος της θαλασσης το καταλειμμα αυτων σωθησεται λογον γαρ συντελων και συντεμνων εν δικαιοσυνη
[23] οτι λογον συντετμημενον ποιησει ο θεος εν τη οικουμενη ολη
[24] δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος σαβαωθ μη φοβου ο λαος μου οι κατοικουντες εν σιων απο ασσυριων οτι εν ραβδω παταξει σε πληγην γαρ εγω επαγω επι σε του ιδειν οδον αιγυπτου
[25] ετι γαρ μικρον και παυσεται η οργη ο δε θυμος μου επι την βουλην αυτων
[26] και επεγερει ο θεος επ αυτους κατα την πληγην την μαδιαμ εν τοπω θλιψεως και ο θυμος αυτου τη οδω τη κατα θαλασσαν εις την οδον την κατ αιγυπτον
[27] και εσται εν τη ημερα εκεινη αφαιρεθησεται ο φοβος αυτου απο σου και ο ζυγος αυτου απο του ωμου σου και καταφθαρησεται ο ζυγος απο των ωμων υμων
[28] ηξει γαρ εις την πολιν αγγαι και παρελευσεται εις μαγεδω και εν μαχμας θησει τα σκευη αυτου
[29] και παρελευσεται φαραγγα και ηξει εις αγγαι φοβος λημψεται ραμα πολιν σαουλ φευξεται
[30] η θυγατηρ γαλλιμ επακουσεται λαισα επακουσεται αναθωθ
[31] εξεστη μαδεβηνα και οι κατοικουντες γιββιρ παρακαλειτε
[32] σημερον εν οδω του μειναι τη χειρι παρακαλειτε το ορος την θυγατερα σιων και οι βουνοι οι εν ιερουσαλημ
[33] ιδου γαρ ο δεσποτης κυριος σαβαωθ συνταρασσει τους ενδοξους μετα ισχυος και οι υψηλοι τη υβρει συντριβησονται και οι υψηλοι ταπεινωθησονται
[34] και πεσουνται οι υψηλοι μαχαιρα ο δε λιβανος συν τοις υψηλοις πεσειται
