lesserot - Isaiah:10:5-19

lesserot@Isaiah:10:5 @ Woe over Asshur, the rod of my anger; and a staff is in their hand my indignation.

lesserot@Isaiah:10:6 @ Against a hypocritical nation will I send him, and against the people of my fury will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to carry off the prey, and to render them trodden down like the mire of the streets.

lesserot@Isaiah:10:7 @ But he deemeth it not so, and his heart doth not think so; but to destroy is in his heart, and to cut off nations not a few.

lesserot@Isaiah:10:8 @ For he saith, "Are not my princes altogether kings?

lesserot@Isaiah:10:9 @ Is not Calno like Karkemish? is not Chamath like Arpad? is not Samaria like Damascus?

lesserot@Isaiah:10:10 @ As my hand hath reached the kingdoms of the idols, whose graven images exceeded in number those of Jerusalem and of Samaria:

lesserot@Isaiah:10:11 @ Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, do so unto Jerusalem and unto her idols?"

lesserot@Isaiah:10:12 @ Wherefore shall it come to pass, that when the Lord hath completed all his work on mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the haughtiness of the king of Asshur, and the vainglory of his proud looks.

lesserot@Isaiah:10:13 @ For he hath said, "By the strength of my hand have I done it, and by my wisdom, for I have intelligence; and I have removed the boundaries of nations, and their laidup treasures have I plundered, and brought down low those that were powerfully seated.

lesserot@Isaiah:10:14 @ And my hand hath reached, as a birds nest, the wealth of the people: and as one gathereth up eggs that are forsaken, have I myself gathered up all the earth: and there was not one that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or chirped."

lesserot@Isaiah:10:15 @ Shall the axe boast itself over him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that swingeth it? as if the rod should swing about those that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up him who is no wood.

lesserot@Isaiah:10:16 @ Therefore will the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, send forth among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory shall be kindled a burning like the burning of a fire.

lesserot@Isaiah:10:17 @ And the light of Israel shall become a fire, and his Holy One a flame; and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers on one day.

lesserot@Isaiah:10:18 @ And the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body, will he destroy: and he shall be as eaten to powder by the worms.

lesserot@Isaiah:10:19 @ And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few in number, so that a boy may write them down.
