Woe to the Assyrians; the rod of My wrath and anger are in their hands.

I will send My wrath against a sinful nation, and I will command My people to take plunder and spoil, and to trample the cities, and to make dust out of them.

Thus says the Lord of hosts, As I have said, so it shall be; and as I have purposed, so [the matter] shall remain;

This is the purpose which the Lord has purposed upon the whole earth; and this the hand that is uplifted against all the nations.

Therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be taken away; and this is his blessing, when I have taken away his sin; when they have broken to pieces all the stones of the altars as fine dust, and their trees shall not remain, and their idols shall be cut off, as a thicket afar off.

declaring beforehand the latter events before they come to pass, and they are accomplished together; and I said, all My counsel shall stand, and I will do all things that I have planned;

calling a bird from the east, and from a land afar off, for the things which I have planned; I have spoken, and brought [him]; I have created and made [him]; I have brought him, and prospered his way.

For the inward thought of man shall give thanks to You, and the memorial of his inward thought shall keep a feast to You.

For the time [has come] for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if [it begins] with us first, what will be the end of those who are disobedient to the gospel of God?

but the Lord of hosts shall send dishonor upon your honor, and burning fire shall be kindled upon your glory.

In 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 a burning flame.

For yet a little while, and the indignation shall cease; but My wrath shall be against their council.

And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] his yoke shall be taken away from your shoulder, and his fear from you, and the yoke shall be destroyed from off your shoulders.

And he shall pass by the valley, and shall arrive at Aiath; fear shall seize upon Ramah, the city of Saul.

Madmenah also is amazed, and the inhabitants of Gebim.

Behold, 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;

Woe [to] the multitude of many nations, as the swelling sea, so shall you be confounded; and the force of many nations shall sound like water;

Toward evening, and there shall be grief; before the morning, and he shall not be. This is the portion of them that spoiled you, and the inheritance to them that robbed you of your inheritance.

And the wealth of all the nations together, as many as have fought against Ariel, and all they that war against Jerusalem, and all who are gathered against her, and they that distress her, shall be as one that dreams in sleep by night.

And as men drink and eat in sleep, and when they have arisen, the dream is vain. And as a thirsty man dreams as if he drank, and having arisen is still thirsty, and his soul has desired in vain, so shall be the wealth of all the nations, as many as have fought against Mount Zion.

And the Lord shall make His glorious voice to be heard, and the wrath of His outstretched arm, to make a display with wrath and anger and devouring flame; He shall lighten terribly, and [His wrath shall be] as water and violent hail.

And it shall happen to him from every side, [that] they from whom their hope of assistance was, in which he trusted, themselves shall war against Him in turn with drums and with harps.

As birds flying, so shall the Lord of hosts defend; He shall defend Jerusalem, and He shall rescue, and save and deliver.

For in that day men shall renounce their silver idols and [their] golden idols, which their hands have made.

for they shall be compassed with rocks as with a trench, and shall be overcome; and he that flees shall be taken. Thus says the Lord, Blessed is he that has a seed in Zion, and household friends in Jerusalem.

And the angel of the Lord went forth, and killed out of the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand; and they arose in the morning and found all [these] bodies dead.

And while he was worshipping Nisroch his country's god in the house, Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with swords; and they escaped into Armenia; and Esarhaddon his son reigned in his place.

Behold, you all kindle a fire, and feed a flame; walk in the light of your fire, and in the flame which you have kindled. This has happened to you for my sake; you shall lie down in sorrow.

Therefore thus says the Lord: Behold, I [will] take vengeance on the king of Babylon, and upon his land, as I took vengeance on the king of Assyria.

And all the people of Ephraim, and those that dwelt in Samaria shall know, who say in their pride and lofty heart,

[ 40:6] And send forth messengers with wrath, and lay low every haughty one.

[ 40:7] Bring down also the proud man, and consume at once the ungodly.

You shall destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from [among] the sons of men.

"Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree rotten and its fruit rotten; for a tree is known by its fruit.

For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.

For the eyes of the Lord are high, but man is low; and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.

And the mean man shall be brought low, and the great man shall be disgraced, and the lofty eyes shall be brought low.

For You shall save the lowly people, and shall humble the eyes of the proud.

A wicked generation have lofty eyes, and exalt themselves with their eyelids.

Therefore thus says the Lord: Because you have grown great, and have set your top in the midst of the clouds, and I saw when he was exalted;

in order that none of the trees by the water should exalt themselves by reason of their size; whereas they set their top in the midst of the clouds, yet they continued not in their high state in their place, all that drank water, all were consigned to death, to the depth of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.

Now therefore, I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and greatly exalt and glorify the King of heaven; for all His works are true, and His paths are judgment: and all that walk in pride He is able to abase.
