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.
