Isaiah:10:7-16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 m @#
at #.
*
For he saith ,
Are not my princes altogether kings ?
*
Is not Calno as Carchemish ?
is not Hamath as Arpad ?
is not Samaria as Damascus ?
*
As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols ,
and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria ;
*
Shall I not ,
as I have done unto Samaria and her idols ,
so do to Jerusalem and her idols ?
*
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 .
*
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 #
H3524man :
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Therefore shall the Lord ,
the Lord #
A of hosts ,
send among his fat ones leanness ;
and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire .
