Strong's Number G142 matches the Greek αἴρω (airō),
which occurs 41 times in 36 verses in 'Isa'
in the LXX Greek.
He raises a signal flag for the distant nations
and whistles for them from the ends of the earth.
Look — how quickly and swiftly they come!
It will pour into Judah,
flood over it, and sweep through,
reaching up to the neck;
and its flooded banks[fn]
will fill your entire land, Immanuel!
My hand has reached out, as if into a nest,
to seize the wealth of the nations.
Like one gathering abandoned eggs,
I gathered the whole earth.
No wing fluttered;
no beak opened or chirped.
Does an ax exalt itself
above the one who chops with it?
Does a saw magnify itself
above the one who saws with it?
It would be like a rod waving the ones who lift[fn] it!
It would be like a staff lifting the one who isn’t wood!
He will lift up a banner for the nations
and gather the dispersed of Israel;
he will collect the scattered of Judah
from the four corners of the earth.
Lift up a banner on a barren mountain.
Call out to them.
Signal with your hand, and they will go
through the gates of the nobles.
The Waters of Dibon[fn] are full of blood,
but I will bring on Dibon even more than this —
a lion for those who escape from Moab,
and for the survivors in the land.
Let my refugees stay with you;
be a refuge for Moab[fn] from the aggressor.
When the oppressor has gone,
destruction has ended,
and marauders have vanished from the land,
Joy and rejoicing have been removed from the orchard;
no one is singing or shouting for joy in the vineyards.
No one tramples grapes[fn] in the winepresses.
I have put an end to the shouting.
A pronouncement concerning Damascus:
Look, Damascus is no longer a city.
It has become a ruined heap.
All you inhabitants of the world
and you who live on the earth,
when a banner is raised on the mountains, look!
When a ram’s horn sounds, listen!
But if the wicked man is shown favor,
he does not learn righteousness.
In a righteous land he acts unjustly
and does not see the majesty of the LORD.
The dead do not live;
departed spirits do not rise up.
Indeed, you have punished and destroyed them;
you have wiped out all memory of them.
“Its collapse will be like the shattering
of a potter’s jar, crushed to pieces,
so that not even a fragment of pottery
will be found among its shattered remains —
no fragment large enough to take fire from a hearth
or scoop water from a cistern.”
for the ground of my people
growing thorns and briers,
indeed, for every joyous house in the jubilant city.
The highways are deserted;
travel has ceased.
An agreement has been broken,
cities[fn] despised,
and human life disregarded.
Your ropes are slack;
they cannot hold the base of the mast
or spread out the flag.
Then abundant spoil will be divided,
the lame will plunder it,
“Who is it you have mocked and blasphemed?
Against whom have you raised your voice
and lifted your eyes in pride?
Against the Holy One of Israel!
“Come, gather together,
and approach, you fugitives of the nations.
Those who carry their wooden idols
and pray to a god who cannot save
have no knowledge.
Bel crouches; Nebo cowers.
Idols depicting them are consigned to beasts and cattle.
The images you carry are loaded,
as a burden for the weary animal.
“Listen to me, house of Jacob,
all the remnant of the house of Israel,
who have been sustained from the womb,
carried along since birth.
“They lift it to their shoulder and bear it along;
they set it in its place, and there it stands;
it does not budge from its place.
They cry out to it but it doesn’t answer;
it saves no one from his trouble.
“Look up, and look around.
They all gather together; they come to you.
As I live” —
this is the LORD’s declaration —
“you will wear all your children[fn] as jewelry,
and put them on as a bride does.
This is what the Lord GOD says:
Look, I will lift up my hand to the nations,
and raise my banner to the peoples.
They will bring your sons in their arms,
and your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.
Look up to the heavens,
and look at the earth beneath;
for the heavens will vanish like smoke,
the earth will wear out like a garment,
and its inhabitants will die like gnats.[fn]
But my salvation will last forever,
and my righteousness will never be shattered.
But you have forgotten the LORD, your Maker,
who stretched out the heavens
and laid the foundations of the earth.
You are in constant dread all day long
because of the fury of the oppressor,
who has set himself to destroy.
But where is the fury of the oppressor?
He was taken away because of oppression and judgment,
and who considered his fate?[fn]
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
he was struck because of my people’s rebellion.
The righteous person perishes,
and no one takes it to heart;
the faithful are taken away,
with no one realizing
that the righteous person is taken away
because of[fn] evil.
He said,
“Build it up, build it up, prepare the way,
remove every obstacle from my people’s way.”
Truth is missing,
and whoever turns from evil is plundered.
The LORD saw that there was no justice,
and he was offended.
Raise your eyes and look around:
they all gather and come to you;
your sons will come from far away,
and your daughters on the hips of nursing mothers.
