Judgment on Arrogance and Oppression

The Lord sent a word against Jacob,
    and it fell on Israel,
and all the people knew it—
    Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria—
    but in pride and arrogance of heart they said:(A)
10 “The bricks have fallen,
    but we will build with dressed stones;
the sycamores have been cut down,
    but we will put cedars in their place.”
11 So the Lord raised adversaries[a] against them
    and stirred up their enemies,(B)
12 the Arameans on the east and the Philistines on the west,
    and they devoured Israel with open mouth.
For all this his anger has not turned away;
    his hand is stretched out still.(C)

13 The people did not turn to him who struck them
    or seek the Lord of hosts.(D)
14 So the Lord cut off from Israel head and tail,
    palm branch and reed in one day—(E)
15 elders and dignitaries are the head,
    and prophets who teach lies are the tail,(F)
16 for those who led this people led them astray,
    and those who were led by them were left in confusion.(G)
17 That is why the Lord did not have pity on[b] their young people
    or compassion on their orphans and widows,
for everyone was godless and an evildoer,
    and every mouth spoke folly.
For all this his anger has not turned away;
    his hand is stretched out still.(H)

18 For wickedness burned like a fire,
    consuming briers and thorns;
it kindled the thickets of the forest,
    and they swirled upward in a column of smoke.(I)
19 Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts
    the land was burned,
and the people became like fuel for the fire;
    no one spared another.(J)
20 They gorged on the right but still were hungry,
    and they devoured on the left but were not satisfied;
they devoured the flesh of their own kindred;[c](K)
21 Manasseh devoured Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh,
    and together they were against Judah.
For all this his anger has not turned away;
    his hand is stretched out still.(L)

10 Woe to those who make iniquitous decrees,
    who write oppressive statutes,(M)
to turn aside the needy from justice
    and to rob the poor of my people of their right,
to make widows their spoil
    and to plunder orphans!(N)
What will you do on the day of punishment,
    in the calamity that will come from far away?
To whom will you flee for help,
    and where will you leave your wealth,(O)
so as not to crouch among the prisoners
    or fall among the slain?
For all this his anger has not turned away;
    his hand is stretched out still.(P)

Arrogant Assyria Also Judged

Woe to Assyria, the rod of my anger—
    the club in their hands is my fury!(Q)
Against a godless nation I send him,
    and against the people of my wrath I command him,
to take spoil and seize plunder,
    and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.(R)
But this is not what he intends,
    nor does he have this in mind,
but it is in his heart to destroy
    and to cut off nations not a few.(S)
For he says:
“Are not my commanders all kings?(T)
Is not Calno like Carchemish?
    Is not Hamath like Arpad?
    Is not Samaria like Damascus?(U)
10 As my hand has reached to the kingdoms of the idols
    whose images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,(V)
11 shall I not do to Jerusalem and her idols
    what I have done to Samaria and her images?”

The Lord’s Anger Against Israel

The Lord has sent a message(A) against Jacob;
    it will fall on Israel.
All the people will know it—
    Ephraim(B) and the inhabitants of Samaria(C)
who say with pride
    and arrogance(D) of heart,
10 “The bricks have fallen down,
    but we will rebuild with dressed stone;(E)
the fig(F) trees have been felled,
    but we will replace them with cedars.(G)
11 But the Lord has strengthened Rezin’s(H) foes against them
    and has spurred their enemies on.
12 Arameans(I) from the east and Philistines(J) from the west
    have devoured(K) Israel with open mouth.

Yet for all this, his anger(L) is not turned away,
    his hand is still upraised.(M)

13 But the people have not returned(N) to him who struck(O) them,
    nor have they sought(P) the Lord Almighty.
14 So the Lord will cut off from Israel both head and tail,
    both palm branch and reed(Q) in a single day;(R)
15 the elders(S) and dignitaries(T) are the head,
    the prophets(U) who teach lies(V) are the tail.
16 Those who guide(W) this people mislead them,
    and those who are guided are led astray.(X)
17 Therefore the Lord will take no pleasure in the young men,(Y)
    nor will he pity(Z) the fatherless and widows,
for everyone is ungodly(AA) and wicked,(AB)
    every mouth speaks folly.(AC)

Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
    his hand is still upraised.(AD)

18 Surely wickedness burns like a fire;(AE)
    it consumes briers and thorns,(AF)
it sets the forest thickets ablaze,(AG)
    so that it rolls upward in a column of smoke.
19 By the wrath(AH) of the Lord Almighty
    the land will be scorched(AI)
and the people will be fuel for the fire;(AJ)
    they will not spare one another.(AK)
20 On the right they will devour,
    but still be hungry;(AL)
on the left they will eat,(AM)
    but not be satisfied.
Each will feed on the flesh of their own offspring[a]:
21     Manasseh will feed on Ephraim, and Ephraim on Manasseh;(AN)
    together they will turn against Judah.(AO)

Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
    his hand is still upraised.(AP)

10 Woe(AQ) to those who make unjust laws,
    to those who issue oppressive decrees,(AR)
to deprive(AS) the poor of their rights
    and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people,(AT)
making widows their prey
    and robbing the fatherless.(AU)
What will you do on the day of reckoning,(AV)
    when disaster(AW) comes from afar?
To whom will you run for help?(AX)
    Where will you leave your riches?
Nothing will remain but to cringe among the captives(AY)
    or fall among the slain.(AZ)

Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,(BA)
    his hand is still upraised.

God’s Judgment on Assyria

“Woe(BB) to the Assyrian,(BC) the rod(BD) of my anger,
    in whose hand is the club(BE) of my wrath!(BF)
I send him against a godless(BG) nation,
    I dispatch(BH) him against a people who anger me,(BI)
to seize loot and snatch plunder,(BJ)
    and to trample(BK) them down like mud in the streets.
But this is not what he intends,(BL)
    this is not what he has in mind;
his purpose is to destroy,
    to put an end to many nations.
‘Are not my commanders(BM) all kings?’ he says.
    ‘Has not Kalno(BN) fared like Carchemish?(BO)
Is not Hamath(BP) like Arpad,(BQ)
    and Samaria(BR) like Damascus?(BS)
10 As my hand seized the kingdoms of the idols,(BT)
    kingdoms whose images excelled those of Jerusalem and Samaria—
11 shall I not deal with Jerusalem and her images
    as I dealt with Samaria and her idols?(BU)’”
