Isaiah 10:5-16

5WoeH1945 to 1AssyriaH804, the 2rodH7626 of My angerH639 And the staffH4294 in whose handsH3027 is 3My indignationH2195,6I sendH7971 it against a 4godlessH2611 nationH1471 And commissionH6680 it againstH5921 the 5peopleH5971 of My furyH5678 To captureH7997 spoilsH7998 and 6to seizeH962 plunderH957, And to 7trampleH4823 them downH4823 like 8mudH2563 in the streetsH2351.7Yet it 9does not soH3651 intendH1819, NorH3808 does 10it planH2803 soH3651 in its heartH3824, But ratherH3588 it is 11its purposeH3824 to destroyH8045 And to eliminateH3772 12manyH3808H4592 nationsH1471.8For it saysH559, “Are not my officersH8269 13allH3164 kingsH4428?9Is not 14CalnoH3641 like 15CarchemishH3751, OrH518 16HamathH2574 like ArpadH774, OrH518 17SamariaH8111 like 18DamascusH1834?10As my handH3027 has reachedH4672 to the 19kingdomsH4467 of the idolsH457, Whose carvedH6456 imagesH6456 were greater thanH4480 those of JerusalemH3389 and SamariaH8111,11Shall I not doH6213 the sameH3651 to JerusalemH3389 and her imagesH6091 JustH3512 asH3512 I have doneH6213 to SamariaH8111 and 20her idolsH457?”

12So it will be that whenH3588 the LordH136 has completedH1214 allH3605 His 21workH4639 on MountH2022 ZionH6726 and on JerusalemH3389, He will say, “I will 22punishH6485 the fruitH6529 of the arrogantH1433 heartH3824 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 and 23the arrogantH7312 prideH8597 of his eyesH5869.” 13For 24he has saidH559, “By the powerH3581 of my handH3027 and by my wisdomH2451 I didH6213 this, BecauseH3588 I haveH995 understandingH995; And I 25removedH5493 the boundariesH1367 of the peoplesH5971 And plunderedH8154 their treasuresH6264, And like a powerfulH3524 manH47 I broughtH3381 downH3381 26their inhabitantsH3427,14And my handH3027 reachedH4672 to the richesH2428 of the peoplesH5971 like a 27nestH7064, And as one gathersH622 abandonedH5800 eggsH1000, I gatheredH622 allH3605 the earthH776; And there was not one that flappedH5074 its wingH3671, openedH6475 its beakH6310, or chirpedH6850.”

15Is the 28axeH1631 to 29boastH6286 itself overH5921 the one who chopsH2672 with it? Is the sawH4883 to exaltH1431 itself overH5921 the one who wieldsH5130 it? That would be like 30a 31clubH7626 wieldingH5130 those who liftH7311 it, Or like 32a rodH4294 liftingH7311 the one who is not woodH6086.16ThereforeH3651 the LordH136, the 33GodH3068 of armiesH6635, will sendH7971 a 34wastingH7332 diseaseH7332 among his 35stoutH4924 warriorsH4924; And underH8478 his 36gloryH3519 a fireH3350 will be kindledH3344 like a burningH3350 flameH784.
