Isaiah
Chapter 10
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 you do in the day of visitation,
and
in the desolation which shall come from far?
To whom will you flee for help?
And where will you 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 My anger,
and
the staff in their hand is My 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 means not so,
neither
does his heart/'right lobe' think so.
But
it is in his heart/'right lobe'
to
destroy and cut off nations not a few.
8 For he said, "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 has 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/'Adonay has performed His whole work
upon
mount Zion and on Jerusalem,
I
will punish the fruit of the stout heart/'right lobe'
of
the king of Assyria,
and
the glory of his high looks.
13
For he said,
"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 has found as a nest the riches of the people.
And
as one gathers 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 hews therewith?
Or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shakes 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/'Adown,
the
Lord/'Adonay of the armies/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 standard bearer faints.
19
And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few,
that
a child may write them.
20~~Now
it shall come to pass in that day,
that
the remnant of Israel
{Jews scattered throughout the earth},
and
those of the house of Jacob
who
have escaped,
will
never again rely on the one who struck them
but
will truly rely on Jehovah/God,
the
Holy One of Israel.
{Logistical
Grace for Jewish Believers in the Tribulation}
21~~A
remnant will return,
the
remnant of Jacob,
to
the mighty God.
22~~For
though your people oh Israel
may
be as the sand of the sea,
only
a remnant within them will return.
The
destruction is determined . . .
overflowing
with righteousness.
{Note: Paul quotes this in Romans 9:27.}
23~~For
a complete destruction
one
that has been decreed
the
Lord/'Adonay . . . God/Jehovah of the armies/hosts
will
execute in the midst of all the land.
{Note: Paul quotes this in Romans 9:28.}
24``
Therefore thus said
the
Lord/'Adonay . . .
God/Jehovah
of the armies/hosts,
O
My people that dwell in Zion,
be
not afraid of the Assyrian.
He
shall smite you with a rod,
and
shall lift up his staff against you,
after
the manner of Egypt.
25
For Yet a very little while,
and
the indignation shall cease,
and
My anger in their destruction.
26~~And
Jehovah/God of the armies/hosts
shall
raise up a scourge against him
like
the slaughter of Midian
at
the rock of the Wolf/Oreb
{see Judges 7:25}.
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 your shoulder,
and
his yoke from off your 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 has 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 your 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, Jehovah/God,
Jehovah/God
of the armies/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.
