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
L
ORD
, 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 L
ORD
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 L
ORD
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.
