Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger
And the staff in whose hands is My indignation,

The Lord of hosts has sworn saying, “Surely, just as I have intended so it has happened, and just as I have planned so it will stand,

Therefore through this Jacob’s iniquity will be forgiven;
And this will be the full price of the

pardoning of his sin:

When he makes all the altar stones like pulverized chalk stones;
When Asherim and incense altars will not stand.

Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things which have not been done,
Saying, ‘My purpose will be established,
And I will accomplish all My good pleasure’;

wrath of man shall praise You;

With a remnant of wrath You will gird Yourself.

And under his glory a fire will be kindled like a burning flame.

Alas, the uproar of many peoples

Who roar like the roaring of the seas,

And the rumbling of nations
Who rush on like the rumbling of mighty waters!

And the multitude of all the nations who wage war against Ariel,
Even all who wage war against her and her stronghold, and who distress her,
Will be like a dream, a vision of the night.

And the descending of His arm to be seen in fierce anger,
And in the flame of a consuming fire
In cloudburst, downpour and hailstones.

Who encircle yourselves with firebrands,
Walk in the light of your fire
And among the brands you have set ablaze.
This you will have from My hand:
You will lie down in torment.

Punish the fruit of the stout heart

And all the people know it,
That is, Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria,
Asserting in pride and in arrogance of heart:

“Pour out the overflowings of your anger,
And look on everyone who is proud, and make him low.

Their offspring You will destroy from the earth,
And their

descendants from among the sons of men.

“Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit.

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

The glory

The

proud look of man will be abased

And the loftiness of man will be humbled,
And the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.

So the common man will be humbled and the man of importance abased,

The eyes of the proud also will be abased.

For You save an afflicted people,
But haughty eyes You abase.

There is a kind—oh how lofty are his eyes!
And his eyelids are raised in arrogance.

‘Therefore thus says the Lord God, “Because it is high in stature and has set its top among the clouds, and its heart is haughty in its loftiness,

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His ways just, and He is able to humble those who walk in pride.”
