Woe1945 unto them that decree2710 unrighteous205 decrees2711, and that write3789 grievousness5999 which they have prescribed3789; that write: or, to the writers that write grievousness To turn aside5186 the needy1800 from judgment1779, and to take away1497 the right4941 from the poor6041 of my people5971, that widows490 may be their prey7998, and that they may rob962 the fatherless3490! And what will ye do6213 in the day3117 of visitation6486, and in the desolation7722 which shall come935 from far4801? to whom will ye flee5127 for help5833? and where will ye leave5800 your 3519? Without me they shall1115 bow down3766 under the prisoners616, and they shall fall5307 under the slain2026. For all this his anger639 is not turned away7725, but his hand3027 is stretched out still5186. O1945 Assyrian804, the rod7626 of mine anger639, and the 4294 in their hand3027 is mine indignation2195. O: or, Woe to the : Heb. and: or, though I will send7971 him against an hypocritical2611 nation1471, and against the people5971 of my wrath5678 will I give him a charge6680, to take7997 the spoil7998, and to take962 the prey957, and to tread them down7760 4823 like the mire2563 of the streets2351. tread: Heb. lay them a treading Howbeit he meaneth1819 not so, neither doth his heart3824 think2803 so; but it is in his heart3824 to destroy8045 and cut off3772 nations1471 not a few4592. For he saith559, Are not my princes8269 altogether3162 kings4428? Is not Calno3641 as 3751? is not 2574 as Arpad774? is not 8111 as 1834? As my hand3027 hath found4672 the kingdoms4467 of the idols457, and whose graven images6456 did excel them of 3389 and of 8111; Shall I not, as I have done6213 unto 8111 and her idols457, so do6213 to 3389 and her idols6091? Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord136 hath performed1214 his whole work4639 upon mount2022 6726 and 3389, I will punish6485 the fruit6529 of the stout1433 heart3824 of the king4428 of 804, and the 8597 of his high7312 looks5869. punish: Heb. visit upon stout: Heb. greatness of the heart For he saith559, By the strength3581 of my hand3027 I have done6213 it, and by my 2451; for I am prudent995: and I have removed5493 the bounds1367 of the people5971, and have robbed8154 their treasures6259 6264, and I have down3381 the inhabitants3427 like a valiant47 3524 man: a valiant: or, many people And my hand3027 hath found4672 as a nest7064 the riches2428 of the people5971: and as one gathereth622 eggs1000 that are left5800, have I gathered622 all the earth776; and there was none that moved5074 the wing3671, or opened6475 the mouth6310, or peeped6850. Shall the axe1631 boast6286 itself against him that heweth2672 therewith? or shall the saw4883 magnify1431 itself against him that shaketh5130 it? as if the rod7626 should shake5130 itself against them that lift it up7311, or as if the 4294 should lift up7311 itself, as if it were no wood6086. the rod: or, a rod should shake them that lift it up itself, as if: or, that which is not wood Therefore shall the Lord113, the Lord136 3068 of hosts6635, send7971 among his fat ones4924 leanness7332; and under his 3519 he shall kindle3344 a burning3350 like the burning of a fire784. And the light216 of 3478 shall be for a fire784, and his Holy One6918 for a flame3852: and it shall burn1197 and devour398 his thorns7898 and his briers8068 in one259 day3117; And shall consume3615 the 3519 of his forest3293, and of his fruitful field3759, both soul5315 and body1320: and they shall be as when a standardbearer5263 fainteth4549. both: Heb. from the soul, and even to the flesh And the rest7605 of the trees6086 of his forest3293 shall be few4557, that a child5288 may write3789 them. few: Heb. number And it shall come to pass in that day3117, that the 7605 of 3478, and such as are escaped6413 of the house1004 of 3290, shall no more again3254 stay8172 upon him that smote5221 them; but shall stay8172 upon the LORD3068, the Holy One6918 of 3478, in truth571. The 7605 shall return7725, even the 7605 of 3290, unto the mighty1368 God410. For though thy people5971 3478 be as the sand2344 of the sea3220, yet a 7605 of them shall return7725: the consumption3631 decreed2782 shall overflow7857 with 6666. of them: Heb. in, or, among, etc with: or, in For the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts6635 shall make6213 a consumption3617, even determined2782, in the midst7130 of all the land776. Therefore thus saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts6635, O my people5971 that dwellest3427 in 6726, be not afraid3372 of the Assyrian804: he shall smite5221 thee with a rod7626, and shall lift up5375 his 4294 against thee, after the manner1870 of 4714. and shall: or, but he shall lift up his for For yet a very4213 little while4592, and the indignation2195 shall cease3615, and mine anger639 in their destruction8399. And the LORD3068 of hosts6635 shall stir up5782 a scourge7752 for him according to the slaughter4347 of 4080 at the rock6697 of Oreb6159: and as his rod4294 was upon the sea3220, so shall he lift it up5375 after the manner1870 of 4714. And it shall come to pass in that day3117, that his burden5448 shall be taken away5493 from off thy shoulder7926, and his 5923 from off thy neck6677, and the 5923 shall be destroyed2254 because6440 of the anointing8081. be taken: Heb. remove He is come935 to Aiath5857, he is passed5674 to Migron4051; at Michmash4363 he hath laid up6485 his carriages3627: They are gone over5674 the passage4569: they have taken up their lodging4411 at Geba1387; 7414 is afraid2729; 1390 of 7586 is fled5127. Lift up6670 thy voice6963, O daughter1323 of1530 Gallim1554: cause it to be heard7181 unto Laish3919, O poor6041 Anathoth6068. Lift: Heb.

Behold, the Lord113, the LORD3068 of hosts6635, shall lop5586 the bough6288 with terror4637: and the high ones7311 of stature6967 shall be hewn down1438, and the haughty1364 shall be humbled8213. And he shall cut down5362 the thickets5442 of the forest3293 with iron1270, and Lebanon3844 shall fall5307 by a mighty one117. by: or, mightily
