Isaiah 10

1Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;

הֹוי הַחֹקְקִים חִקְקֵי־אָוֶן וּמְכַתְּבִים עָמָל כִּתֵּבוּ׃ (1645)

2To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!

לְהַטֹּות מִדִּין דַּלִּים וְלִגְזֹל מִשְׁפַּט עֲנִיֵּי עַמִּי לִהְיֹות אַלְמָנֹות שְׁלָלָם וְאֶת־יְתֹומִים יָבֹזּוּ׃ (3719)

3And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?

וּמַה־תַּעֲשׂוּ לְיֹום פְּקֻדָּה וּלְשֹׁואָה מִמֶּרְחָק תָּבֹוא עַל־מִי תָּנוּסוּ לְעֶזְרָה וְאָנָה תַעַזְבוּ כְּבֹודְכֶם׃ (3870)

4Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

בִּלְתִּי כָרַע תַּחַת אַסִּיר וְתַחַת הֲרוּגִים יִפֹּלוּ בְּכָל־זֹאת לֹא־שָׁב אַפֹּו וְעֹוד יָדֹו נְטוּיָה׃ (4081)

5O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.

הֹוי אַשּׁוּר שֵׁבֶט אַפִּי וּמַטֶּה־הוּא בְיָדָם זַעְמִי׃ (1185)

6I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

בְּגֹוי חָנֵף אֲשַׁלְּחֶנּוּ וְעַל־עַם עֶבְרָתִי אֲצַוֶּנּוּ לִשְׁלֹל שָׁלָל וְלָבֹז בַּז [וּלְשִׂימֹו כ] (וּלְשׂוּמֹו ק) מִרְמָס כְּחֹמֶר חוּצֹות׃ (4427)

7Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.

וְהוּא לֹא־כֵן יְדַמֶּה וּלְבָבֹו לֹא־כֵן יַחְשֹׁב כִּי לְהַשְׁמִיד בִּלְבָבֹו וּלְהַכְרִית גֹּויִם לֹא מְעָט׃ (1986)

8For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings?

כִּי יֹאמַר הֲלֹא שָׂרַי יַחְדָּו מְלָכִים׃ (995)

9Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?

הֲלֹא כְּכַרְכְּמִישׁ כַּלְנֹו אִם־לֹא כְאַרְפַּד חֲמָת אִם־לֹא כְדַמֶּשֶׂק שֹׁמְרֹון׃ (2709)

10As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;

כַּאֲשֶׁר מָצְאָה יָדִי לְמַמְלְכֹת הָאֱלִיל וּפְסִילֵיהֶם מִירוּשָׁלִַם וּמִשֹּׁמְרֹון׃ (2826)

11Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?

הֲלֹא כַּאֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתִי לְשֹׁמְרֹון וְלֶאֱלִילֶיהָ כֵּן אֶעֱשֶׂה לִירוּשָׁלִַם וְלַעֲצַבֶּיהָ׃ (3370)

12Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.

וְהָיָה כִּי־יְבַצַּע אֲדֹנָי אֶת־כָּל־מַעֲשֵׂהוּ בְּהַר צִיֹּון וּבִירוּשָׁלִָם אֶפְקֹד עַל־פְּרִי־גֹדֶל לְבַב מֶלֶךְ־אַשּׁוּר וְעַל־תִּפְאֶרֶת רוּם עֵינָיו׃ (4944)

13For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man:

כִּי אָמַר בְּכֹחַ יָדִי עָשִׂיתִי וּבְחָכְמָתִי כִּי נְבֻנֹותִי וְאָסִיר ׀ גְּבוּלֹת עַמִּים [וַעֲתִידֹתֵיהֶם כ] (וַעֲתוּדֹותֵיהֶם ק) שֹׁושֵׂתִי וְאֹורִיד כַּאבִּיר יֹושְׁבִים׃ (6883)

14And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.

וַתִּמְצָא כַקֵּן ׀ יָדִי לְחֵיל הָעַמִּים וְכֶאֱסֹף בֵּיצִים עֲזֻבֹות כָּל־הָאָרֶץ אֲנִי אָסָפְתִּי וְלֹא הָיָה נֹדֵד כָּנָף וּפֹצֶה פֶה וּמְצַפְצֵף׃ (3653)

15Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood.

הֲיִתְפָּאֵר הַגַּרְזֶן עַל הַחֹצֵב בֹּו אִם־יִתְגַּדֵּל הַמַּשֹּׂור עַל־מְנִיפֹו כְּהָנִיף שֵׁבֶט וְאֶת־מְרִימָיו כְּהָרִים מַטֶּה לֹא־עֵץ׃ (4208)

16Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.

לָכֵן יְשַׁלַּח הָאָדֹון יְהוָה צְבָאֹות בְּמִשְׁמַנָּיו רָזֹון וְתַחַת כְּבֹדֹו יֵקַד יְקֹד כִּיקֹוד אֵשׁ׃ (3265)

17And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;

וְהָיָה אֹור־יִשְׂרָאֵל לְאֵשׁ וּקְדֹושֹׁו לְלֶהָבָה וּבָעֲרָה וְאָכְלָה שִׁיתֹו וּשְׁמִירֹו בְּיֹום אֶחָד׃ (3293)

18And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standard-bearer fainteth.

וּכְבֹוד יַעְרֹו וְכַרְמִלֹּו מִנֶּפֶשׁ וְעַד־בָּשָׂר יְכַלֶּה וְהָיָה כִּמְסֹס נֹסֵס׃ (2119)

19And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.

וּשְׁאָר עֵץ יַעְרֹו מִסְפָּר יִהְיוּ וְנַעַר יִכְתְּבֵם׃ (2162)

20And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

וְהָיָה ׀ בַּיֹּום הַהוּא לֹא־יֹוסִיף עֹוד שְׁאָר יִשְׂרָאֵל וּפְלֵיטַת בֵּית־יַעֲקֹב לְהִשָּׁעֵן עַל־מַכֵּהוּ וְנִשְׁעַן עַל־יְהוָה קְדֹושׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל בֶּאֱמֶת׃ (5171)

21The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.

שְׁאָר יָשׁוּב שְׁאָר יַעֲקֹב אֶל־אֵל גִּבֹּור׃ (1775)

22For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

כִּי אִם־יִהְיֶה עַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל כְּחֹול הַיָּם שְׁאָר יָשׁוּב בֹּו כִּלָּיֹון חָרוּץ שֹׁוטֵף צְדָקָה׃ (2732)

23For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land.

כִּי כָלָה וְנֶחֱרָצָה אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה צְבָאֹות עֹשֶׂה בְּקֶרֶב כָּל־הָאָרֶץ׃ (2059)

24Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.

לָכֵן כֹּה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה צְבָאֹות אַל־תִּירָא עַמִּי יֹשֵׁב צִיֹּון מֵאַשּׁוּר בַּשֵּׁבֶט יַכֶּכָּה וּמַטֵּהוּ יִשָּׂא־עָלֶיךָ בְּדֶרֶךְ מִצְרָיִם׃ (4214)

25For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.

כִּי־עֹוד מְעַט מִזְעָר וְכָלָה זַעַם וְאַפִּי עַל־תַּבְלִיתָם׃ (1803)

26And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.

וְעֹורֵר עָלָיו יְהוָה צְבָאֹות שֹׁוט כְּמַכַּת מִדְיָן בְּצוּר עֹורֵב וּמַטֵּהוּ עַל־הַיָּם וּנְשָׂאֹו בְּדֶרֶךְ מִצְרָיִם׃ (3788)

27And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

וְהָיָה ׀ בַּיֹּום הַהוּא יָסוּר סֻבֳּלֹו מֵעַל שִׁכְמֶךָ וְעֻלֹּו מֵעַל צַוָּארֶךָ וְחֻבַּל עֹל מִפְּנֵי־שָׁמֶן׃ (2280)

28He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages:

בָּא עַל־עַיַּת עָבַר בְּמִגְרֹון לְמִכְמָשׂ יַפְקִיד כֵּלָיו׃ (1856)

29They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled.

עָבְרוּ מַעְבָּרָה גֶּבַע מָלֹון לָנוּ חָרְדָה הָרָמָה גִּבְעַת שָׁאוּל נָסָה׃ (2276)

30Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.

צַהֲלִי קֹולֵךְ בַּת־גַּלִּים הַקְשִׁיבִי לַיְשָׁה עֲנִיָּה עֲנָתֹות׃ (2609)

31Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.

נָדְדָה מַדְמֵנָה יֹשְׁבֵי הַגֵּבִים הֵעִיזוּ׃ (682)

32As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

עֹוד הַיֹּום בְּנֹב לַעֲמֹד יְנֹפֵף יָדֹו הַר [בֵּית־ כ] (בַּת־צִיֹּון ק) גִּבְעַת יְרוּשָׁלִָם׃ (2935)

33Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.

הִנֵּה הָאָדֹון יְהוָה צְבָאֹות מְסָעֵף פֻּארָה בְּמַעֲרָצָה וְרָמֵי הַקֹּומָה גְּדוּעִים וְהַגְּבֹהִים יִשְׁפָּלוּ׃ (2636)

34And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.

וְנִקַּף סִבְכֵי הַיַּעַר בַּבַּרְזֶל וְהַלְּבָנֹון בְּאַדִּיר יִפֹּול׃ (1346)
