NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Isaiah 10

Assyria Is God's Instrument

1

Woeh1945 to those who  aenacth2710 evilh205 statutesh2706 And to those who constantly recordh3789  1unjusth5999 decisionsh5999,

2

So as  ato  1depriveh5186 the needyh1800b of justiceh1779 And robh1497 the poorh6041 of My peopleh5971a of their rightsh4941, So  bthat widowsh490 may be their spoilh7998 And that they may plunderh962 the  2orphansh3490.

3

Now  awhath4100 will you doh6213a in the  bdayh3117 of punishmenth6486, And in the devastationh7724b which will comeh935  cfrom afarh4801?  dTo whomh4310 will you fleeh5127 for helph5833? And whereh575 will you leaveh5800a your  1wealthh3519b?

4

Nothingh1115 remains but to crouchh3766  1amongh8478 the  acaptivesh616 Or fallh5307  1amongh8478 the  bslainh2026.  cIn spite of allh3605 thish384, His angerh639 does not turnh7725 awayh7725 And His handh3027 is stillh5750 stretchedh5186 out.

5

Woeh1945 to  aAssyriah804b, the  brodh7626 of My angerh639 And the staffh4294 in whose handsh3027 is  cMy indignationh2195,

6

I sendh7971 it against a  agodlessh2611 nationh1471 And commissionh6680 it againsth5921 the  bpeopleh5971a of My furyh5678 To captureh7997b bootyh7998 and  cto seizeh962 plunderh957, And to  1trampleh4823 them downh4823 like  dmudh2563a in the streetsh2351.

7

Yet it  adoes not soh3651 intendh1819, Norh3808 does  1it planh2803 soh3651 in its hearth3824, But ratherh3588 it is  2its purposeh3824 to destroyh8045 And to cuth3772 offh3772  3manyh3808h4592 nationsh1471.

8

For it saysh559, "Are not my princesh8269  1allh3164a kingsh4428?

9

"Is not  aCalnoh3641b like  bCarchemishh3751, Orh518  cHamathh2574 like Arpadh774, Orh518  dSamariah8111 like  eDamascush1834?

10

"As my handh3027 has reachedh4672 to the  akingdomsh4467 of the idolsh457, Whose gravenh6456 imagesh6456 were greater thanh4480 those of Jerusalemh3389 and Samariah8111,

11

Shall I not  1doh6213a to Jerusalemh3389 and her imagesh6091 Justh3512c as I have doneh6213a to Samariah8111 and  aher idolsh457?"

12

So it will be that whenh3588 the Lordh136 has completedh1214 allh3605 His  aworkh4639 on Mounth2022 Zionh6726 and on Jerusalemh3389, He will say, "I will  1punishh6485 the fruith6529 of the arroganth1433 hearth3824 of the kingh4428 of Assyriah804b and  bthe pomph8597 of  2his haughtinessh7312."

13

For  ahe has saidh559, "By the powerh3581b of my handh3027 and by my wisdomh2451 I didh6213a this, For I haveh995 understandingh995; And I  bremovedh5493 the boundariesh1367 of the peoplesh5971a And plunderedh8154 their treasuresh6264, And like a mightyh3524 manh47 I broughth3381 downh3381  1their inhabitantsh3427,

14

And my handh3027 reachedh4672 to the richesh2428 of the peoplesh5971a like a  anesth7064, And as one gathersh622 abandonedh5800a eggsh1000, I gatheredh622 allh3605 the earthh776; And there was not one that flappedh5074 its wingh3671 or openedh6475 its beakh6310 or chirpedh6850."

15

Is the  aaxeh1631 to  bboasth6286 itself overh5921 the one who chopsh2672 with it? Is the sawh4883 to exalth1431 itself overh5921 the one who wieldsh5130 it? That would be like  ca  1clubh7626 wieldingh5130 those who lifth7311 it, Or like  ca rodh4294 liftingh7311 him who is not woodh6086.

16

Thereforeh3651 the Lordh136, the  1GODh3068 of hostsh6635, will sendh7971 a  awastingh7332 diseaseh7332 among his  bstouth4924a warriorsh4924a; And underh8478 his  cgloryh3519b a fireh3350 will be kindledh3344 like a burningh3350 flameh784.

17

And the  alighth216 of Israelh3478 will becomeh1961 a fireh784 and his  bHolyh6918 Oneh6918 a flameh3852, And it will  cburnh1197a and devourh398 his thornsh7898 and his briarsh8068 in a singleh259 dayh3117.

18

And He will  adestroyh3615 the gloryh3519b of his foresth3293a and of his fruitfulh3759 gardenh3759, bothh4480 soulh5315 and bodyh1320, And it will be as when a sickh5263 manh5263 wastesh4549 awayh4549.

19

And the  aresth7605 of the treesh6086 of his foresth3293a will be so small in numberh4557 That a childh5288 could writeh3789 them downh3789.

A Remnant Will Return

20

Now in that dayh3117 the  aremnanth7605 of Israelh3478, and those of the househ1004 of Jacobh3290  bwhoh6413 have escapedh6413, will neverh3808 againh3254 relyh8172 on the one who struckh5221 them, but will trulyh571  crelyh8172 on the LORDh3068, the Holyh6918 Oneh6918 of Israelh3478.

21

A  aremnanth7605 will returnh7725, the remnanth7605 of Jacobh3290, to the  bmightyh1368 Godh410.

22

For  athoughh518 your peopleh5971a, O Israelh3478, may be like the sandh2344 of the seah3220, Only a remnanth7605 within them will returnh7725; A  bdestructionh3631 is determinedh2782, overflowingh7857 with righteousnessh6666.

23

For a completeh3617 destructionh3617, one that is decreedh2782,  athe Lordh136  1GODh3068 of hostsh6635 will executeh6213a in the midsth7130 of the wholeh3605 landh776.

24

Thereforeh3651 thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136  1GODh3068 of hostsh6635, "O My peopleh5971a who dwellh3427 in  aZionh6726,  bdo not fearh3372a the Assyrianh804b  2who  cstrikesh5221 you with the rodh7626 and liftsh5375 up his staffh4294 againsth5921 you, the wayh1870 Egypth4714 did.

25

"For in a veryh4213  alittleh4592 whileh5750  bMy indignationh2195 against you will be spenth3615 and My angerh639 will be directed to their destructionh8399."

26

The LORDh3068 of hostsh6635 will  aarouseh5782 a scourgeh7752 againsth5921 him like the slaughterh4347 of  bMidianh4080 at the rockh6697 of Orebh6159; and His  cstaffh4294 will be overh5921 the seah3220 and He will lifth5375 it up  dthe wayh1870 He did in Egypth4714.

27

So it will be in that dayh3117, that  1his  aburdenh5448 will be removedh5493 from your shouldersh7926 and his yokeh5923 from your neckh6677, and the yokeh5923 will be brokenh2254b becauseh4480h6440  bof fatnessh8081.

28

He has comeh935 againsth5921 Aiathh5857, He has passedh5674a through  aMigronh4051; At  bMichmashh4363 he depositedh6485 his  cbaggageh3627.

29

They have goneh5674a throughh5674a  athe passh4569b, saying,bGebah1387 will be our lodgingh4411 placeh4411."  cRamahh7414 is terrifiedh2729, and  dGibeahh1390 of Saulh7586 has fledh5127 away.

30

Cryh6670a aloudh6670a with your voiceh6963, O daughterh1323 of  aGallimh1554! Payh7181 attentionh7181, Laishahh3919c and  1wretchedh6041  bAnathothh6068!

31

Madmenahh4088 has fledh5074. The inhabitantsh3427 of Gebimh1374 have soughth5756 refugeh5756.

32

Yeth5750 todayh3117 he will halth5975 at  aNobh5011; He  bshakesh5130 his fisth3027 at the mountainh2022 of the  1 cdaughterh1004 of Zionh6726, the hillh1389 of Jerusalemh3389.

33

Beholdh2009, the Lordh113, the  1GODh3068 of hostsh6635, will loph5586 offh5586 the boughsh6333a with a terribleh4637 crashh4637; Those also who are  atallh7311 in statureh6967 will be cuth1438 downh1438 And those whoh1364 are loftyh1364 will be abasedh8213.

34

He will cuth5362a downh5362a the thicketsh5442 of the foresth3293a with an ironh1270 axe, And  aLebanonh3844 will fallh5307  1by the Mightyh117 Oneh117.
