Isaiah 10 :: Brenton's English Septuagint (BES)

Isa 10:1Woe to them that write wickedness; for when they write they do write wickedness,
Isa 10:2perverting the cause of the poor, violently wresting the judgment of the needy ones of my people, that the widow may be a prey to them, and the orphan a spoil.
Isa 10:3And what will they do in the day of visitation? for affliction shall come to you from afar: and to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory,
Isa 10:4that ye may not fall into [fn]captivity? For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is yet exalted.
Isa 10:5Woe to the Assyrians; the rod of my wrath, and anger are in their hands.
Isa 10:6I will send my wrath against a sinful nation, and I will charge my people to take plunder and spoil, and to trample the cities, and to make them dust.
Isa 10:7But he meant not thus, neither did he devise thus in his soul: but his mind shall change, and that to destroy nations not a few.
Isa 10:8And if they should say to him, Thou alone art ruler;
Isa 10:9then shall he say, Have I not taken the country above Babylon and Chalanes, where the tower was built? and have I not taken Arabia, and Damascus, and Samaria?
Isa 10:10As I have taken them, I will also take all the kingdoms: howl, ye idols in Jerusalem, and in Samaria.
Isa 10:11For as I did to Samaria and her idols, so will I do also to Jerusalem and her idols.
Isa 10:12And it shall come to pass, when the Lord shall have finished doing all things on mount Sion and Jerusalem, that I will visit upon the [fn]proud heart, even upon the ruler of the Assyrians, and upon the boastful haughtiness of his eyes.
Isa 10:13For he said, I will act in strength, and in the wisdom of my understanding I will remove the boundaries of nations, and will spoil their strength.
Isa 10:14And I will shake the inhabited cities: and I will take with my hand all the world as a nest: and I will even take them as eggs that have been left; and there is none that shall escape me, or contradict me.
Isa 10:15Shall the axe glorify itself without him that hews with it? or shall the saw lift up itself without him that uses it, as if one should lift a rod or staff? but it shall not be so;
Isa 10:16but the Lord of hosts shall send dishonour upon thine honour, and burning fire shall be kindled upon thy glory.
Isa 10:17And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and he shall sanctify him with burning fire, and it shall devour the wood as grass.
Isa 10:18In that day the mountains shall be consumed, and the hills, and the forests, and fire shall devour both soul and body: and he that flees shall be as one fleeing from burning flame.
Isa 10:19And they that are left of them shall be a small number, and a child shall write them.
Isa 10:20And it shall come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel shall no more [fn]join themselves with, and the saved of Jacob shall no more trust in, them that injured them; but they shall trust in the Holy God of Israel, in truth.
Isa 10:21And the remnant of Jacob shall trust on the mighty God.
Isa 10:22 [fn] And though the people of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant of them shall be saved.
Isa 10:23 [fn]He will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because the Lord will make a short work in all the world.
Isa 10:24Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, Be not afraid, my people who dwell in Sion, of the Assyrians, because he shall smite thee with a rod: for I am bringing a stroke upon thee, that thou mayest see the way of Egypt.
Isa 10:25For yet a little while, and the indignation shall cease: but my wrath shall be against their [fn]council.
Isa 10:26And God will stir up enemies against them, according to the stroke of Madiam in the place of affliction: and his wrath shall be by the way of the sea, even to the way that leads to Egypt.
Isa 10:27And it shall come to pass in that day, that his yoke shall be taken away from thy shoulder, and his fear from thee, and the yoke shall be destroyed from off your shoulders.
Isa 10:28For he shall arrive at the city of Angai, and shall pass on to Maggedo, and shall lay up his stores in Machmas.
Isa 10:29And he shall pass by the valley, and shall arrive at Angai: fear shall seize upon Rama, the city of Saul.
Isa 10:30The daughter of Gallim shall flee; Laisa shall hear; one shall hear in Anathoth.
Isa 10:31Madebena also is amazed, and the inhabitants of Gibbir.
Isa 10:32Exhort ye them to-day to remain in the way: exhort ye beckoning with the hand the mountain, the daughter of Sion, even ye hills that are in Jerusalem.
Isa 10:33Behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, will mightily confound the glorious ones; and the haughty in pride shall be crushed, and the lofty shall be brought low:
Isa 10:34and the lofty ones shall fall by the sword, and Libanus shall fall with his lofty ones.
