Isaiah 10:16-11
English Standard Version
Isaiah 10:16-11
English Standard Version
16 Therefore the Lord God of hosts
will send wasting sickness among his (A)stout warriors,
and under his glory (B)a burning will be kindled,
like the burning of fire.
17 (C)The light of Israel will become a fire,
and (D)his Holy One a flame,
and (E)it will burn and devour
his thorns and briers (F)in one day.
18 The glory of (G)his forest and of his (H)fruitful land
the Lord will destroy, both soul and body,
and it will be as when a sick man wastes away.
19 The remnant of the trees of his forest will be so few
that a child can write them down.
The Remnant of Israel Will Return
20 (I)In that day (J)the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no more (K)lean on him who struck them, but (L)will lean on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. 21 A remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, (M)to the mighty God. 22 (N)For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, (O)only a remnant of them will return. (P)Destruction is decreed, overflowing with righteousness. 23 For the Lord God of hosts will make a full end, as decreed, in the midst of all the earth.
24 Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts: “O my people, (Q)who dwell in Zion, (R)be not afraid of the Assyrians when they strike with the rod and lift up their staff against you as (S)the Egyptians did. 25 For (T)in a very little while my fury will come to an end, and my anger will be directed to their destruction. 26 And (U)the Lord of hosts will wield against them a whip, as when he struck (V)Midian (W)at the rock of Oreb. And his staff will be over the sea, and he will lift it (X)as he did in Egypt. 27 And in that day (Y)his burden will depart from your shoulder, and (Z)his yoke from your neck; and the yoke will be broken because of the fat.”[a]
28 He has come to Aiath;
he has passed through (AA)Migron;
at Michmash he stores (AB)his baggage;
29 they have crossed over (AC)the pass;
at (AD)Geba they lodge for the night;
(AE)Ramah trembles;
(AF)Gibeah of Saul has fled.
30 Cry aloud, O daughter of (AG)Gallim!
Give attention, O Laishah!
O poor (AH)Anathoth!
31 Madmenah is in flight;
the inhabitants of Gebim flee for safety.
32 This very day he will halt at (AI)Nob;
he will shake his fist
at the mount of (AJ)the daughter of Zion,
the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Behold, the Lord God of hosts
(AK)will lop (AL)the boughs with terrifying power;
the great in height will be hewn down,
and the lofty will be brought low.
34 He will cut down (AM)the thickets of the forest with an axe,
and (AN)Lebanon will fall by the Majestic One.
The Righteous Reign of the Branch
11 There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of (AO)Jesse,
and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.
2 And (AP)the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him,
the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and might,
the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
3 And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord.
(AQ)He shall not judge by (AR)what his eyes see,
or decide disputes by (AS)what his ears hear,
4 but (AT)with righteousness he shall judge the poor,
and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
and he shall (AU)strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
and (AV)with the breath of his lips (AW)he shall kill the wicked.
5 Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist,
and (AX)faithfulness the belt of his loins.
6 (AY)The wolf shall dwell with the lamb,
and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together;
and a little child shall lead them.
7 The cow and the bear shall graze;
their young shall lie down together;
and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 The nursing child shall play over the hole of the cobra,
and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's den.
9 (AZ)They shall not hurt or destroy
in all (BA)my holy mountain;
(BB)for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.
10 In that day (BC)the root of (BD)Jesse, who shall stand as (BE)a signal for the peoples—of him shall the nations inquire, and his resting place shall be glorious.
11 (BF)In that day the Lord will extend his hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that remains of his people, (BG)from Assyria, (BH)from Egypt, from (BI)Pathros, from (BJ)Cush,[b] from (BK)Elam, from (BL)Shinar, from (BM)Hamath, and from (BN)the coastlands of the sea.
12 He will raise (BO)a signal for the nations
and will assemble (BP)the banished of Israel,
and gather the dispersed of Judah
from the four corners of the earth.
13 (BQ)The jealousy of Ephraim shall depart,
and those who harass Judah shall be cut off;
Ephraim shall not be jealous of Judah,
and Judah shall not harass Ephraim.
14 (BR)But they shall swoop down on the shoulder of the Philistines in the west,
and together they shall plunder (BS)the people of the east.
They shall put out their hand (BT)against (BU)Edom and (BV)Moab,
and (BW)the Ammonites shall obey them.
15 And the Lord will utterly destroy[c]
(BX)the tongue of the Sea of Egypt,
and will wave his hand over (BY)the River[d]
with his scorching breath,[e]
and strike it into seven channels,
and he will lead people across in sandals.
16 And there will be (BZ)a highway from Assyria
for the remnant that remains of his people,
(CA)as there was for Israel
when they came up from the land of Egypt.

New International Version
Isaiah 10:16-11
New International Version
16 Therefore, the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
will send a wasting disease(A) upon his sturdy warriors;(B)
under his pomp(C) a fire(D) will be kindled
like a blazing flame.
17 The Light of Israel will become a fire,(E)
their Holy One(F) a flame;
in a single day it will burn and consume
his thorns(G) and his briers.(H)
18 The splendor of his forests(I) and fertile fields
it will completely destroy,(J)
as when a sick person wastes away.
19 And the remaining trees of his forests(K) will be so few(L)
that a child could write them down.
The Remnant of Israel
20 In that day(M) the remnant of Israel,
the survivors(N) of Jacob,
will no longer rely(O) on him
who struck them down(P)
but will truly rely(Q) on the Lord,
the Holy One of Israel.(R)
21 A remnant(S) will return,[a](T) a remnant of Jacob
will return to the Mighty God.(U)
22 Though your people be like the sand(V) by the sea, Israel,
only a remnant will return.(W)
Destruction has been decreed,(X)
overwhelming and righteous.
23 The Lord, the Lord Almighty, will carry out
the destruction decreed(Y) upon the whole land.(Z)
24 Therefore this is what the Lord, the Lord Almighty, says:
“My people who live in Zion,(AA)
do not be afraid(AB) of the Assyrians,
who beat(AC) you with a rod(AD)
and lift up a club against you, as Egypt did.
25 Very soon(AE) my anger against you will end
and my wrath(AF) will be directed to their destruction.(AG)”
26 The Lord Almighty will lash(AH) them with a whip,
as when he struck down Midian(AI) at the rock of Oreb;
and he will raise his staff(AJ) over the waters,(AK)
as he did in Egypt.
27 In that day(AL) their burden(AM) will be lifted from your shoulders,
their yoke(AN) from your neck;(AO)
the yoke(AP) will be broken
because you have grown so fat.[b]
28 They enter Aiath;
they pass through Migron;(AQ)
they store supplies(AR) at Mikmash.(AS)
29 They go over the pass, and say,
“We will camp overnight at Geba.(AT)”
Ramah(AU) trembles;
Gibeah(AV) of Saul flees.(AW)
30 Cry out, Daughter Gallim!(AX)
Listen, Laishah!
Poor Anathoth!(AY)
31 Madmenah is in flight;
the people of Gebim take cover.
32 This day they will halt at Nob;(AZ)
they will shake their fist(BA)
at the mount of Daughter Zion,(BB)
at the hill of Jerusalem.
33 See, the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
will lop off(BC) the boughs with great power.
The lofty trees will be felled,(BD)
the tall(BE) ones will be brought low.(BF)
34 He will cut down(BG) the forest thickets with an ax;
Lebanon(BH) will fall before the Mighty One.(BI)
The Branch From Jesse
11 A shoot(BJ) will come up from the stump(BK) of Jesse;(BL)
from his roots a Branch(BM) will bear fruit.(BN)
2 The Spirit(BO) of the Lord will rest on him—
the Spirit of wisdom(BP) and of understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and of might,(BQ)
the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord—
3 and he will delight in the fear(BR) of the Lord.
He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes,(BS)
or decide by what he hears with his ears;(BT)
4 but with righteousness(BU) he will judge the needy,(BV)
with justice(BW) he will give decisions for the poor(BX) of the earth.
He will strike(BY) the earth with the rod of his mouth;(BZ)
with the breath(CA) of his lips he will slay the wicked.(CB)
5 Righteousness will be his belt(CC)
and faithfulness(CD) the sash around his waist.(CE)
6 The wolf will live with the lamb,(CF)
the leopard will lie down with the goat,
the calf and the lion and the yearling[c] together;
and a little child will lead them.
7 The cow will feed with the bear,
their young will lie down together,
and the lion will eat straw like the ox.(CG)
8 The infant(CH) will play near the cobra’s den,
and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s(CI) nest.
9 They will neither harm nor destroy(CJ)
on all my holy mountain,(CK)
for the earth(CL) will be filled with the knowledge(CM) of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.
10 In that day(CN) the Root of Jesse(CO) will stand as a banner(CP) for the peoples; the nations(CQ) will rally to him,(CR) and his resting place(CS) will be glorious.(CT) 11 In that day(CU) the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the surviving remnant(CV) of his people from Assyria,(CW) from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt,(CX) from Cush,[d](CY) from Elam,(CZ) from Babylonia,[e] from Hamath(DA) and from the islands(DB) of the Mediterranean.(DC)
12 He will raise a banner(DD) for the nations
and gather(DE) the exiles of Israel;(DF)
he will assemble the scattered people(DG) of Judah
from the four quarters of the earth.(DH)
13 Ephraim’s jealousy will vanish,
and Judah’s enemies[f] will be destroyed;
Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah,
nor Judah hostile toward Ephraim.(DI)
14 They will swoop down on the slopes of Philistia(DJ) to the west;
together they will plunder the people to the east.(DK)
They will subdue Edom(DL) and Moab,(DM)
and the Ammonites(DN) will be subject to them.(DO)
15 The Lord will dry up(DP)
the gulf of the Egyptian sea;
with a scorching wind(DQ) he will sweep his hand(DR)
over the Euphrates River.(DS)
He will break it up into seven streams
so that anyone can cross over in sandals.(DT)
16 There will be a highway(DU) for the remnant(DV) of his people
that is left from Assyria,(DW)
as there was for Israel
when they came up from Egypt.(DX)
