Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

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

9 Is not Calno as Carchemish, or Hamath as Arpad, or Samaria as Damascus?

10 As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the false— and their images were more than Jerusalem and— rr Shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her false gods, so do to Jerusalem and her offences?

12 And it shall be, when the Lord hath finished his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will visit upon the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glorying of his loftiness of eyes.

13 For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I (can) discern: and I have removed the bounds of peoples, and robbed their treasures, and brought down, like a mighty one, them that ’enthroned:

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