Isaiah 10

New Century Version NCV

1 How terrible it will be for those who make unfair laws, and those who write laws that make life hard for people.

2 They are not fair to the poor, and they rob my people of their rights. They allow people to steal from widows and to take from orphans what really belongs to them.

3 How will you explain the things you have done? What will you do when your destruction comes from far away? Where will you run for help? Where will you hide your riches then?

4 You will have to bow down among the captives or fall down among the dead bodies. But the Lord is still angry; his hand is still raised to strike down the people.

5 God says, "How terrible it will be for the king of Assyria. I use him like a rod to show my anger; in anger I use Assyria like a club.

6 I send it to fight against a nation that is separated from God. I am angry with those people, so I command Assyria to fight against them, to take their wealth from them, to trample them down like dirt in the streets.

7 But Assyria's king doesn't understand that I am using him; he doesn't know he is a tool for me. He only wants to destroy other people and to defeat many nations.

8 The king of Assyria says to himself, 'All of my commanders are like kings.

9 The city Calno is like the city Carchemish. The city Hamath is like the city Arpad. The city Samaria is like the city Damascus.

10 I defeated those kingdoms that worship idols, and those idols were more than the idols of Jerusalem and Samaria.

11 As I defeated Samaria and her idols, I will also defeat Jerusalem and her idols.'"

12 When the Lord finishes doing what he planned to Mount Zion and Jerusalem, he will punish Assyria. The king of Assyria is very proud, and his pride has made him do these evil things, so God will punish him.

13 The king of Assyria says this: "By my own power I have done these things; by my wisdom I have defeated many nations. I have taken their wealth, and, like a mighty one, I have taken their people.

14 I have taken the riches of all these people, like a person reaching into a bird's nest. I have taken these nations, like a person taking eggs. Not one raised a hand or opened its mouth to stop me."

15 An ax is not better than the person who swings it. A saw is not better than the one who uses it. A stick cannot control the person who picks it up. A club cannot pick up the person!

16 So the Lord God All-Powerful will send a terrible disease upon Assyria's soldiers. like a fire burning until everything is gone.

17 God, the Light of Israel, will be like a fire; the Holy One will be like a flame. He will be like a fire that suddenly burns the weeds and thorns.

18 The fire burns away the great trees and rich farmlands, destroying everything. It will be like a sick person who wastes away.

19 The trees left standing will be so few that even a child could count them.

20 At that time some people will be left alive in Israel from the family of Jacob. They will not continue to depend on the person who defeated them. They will learn truly to depend on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.

21 Those who are left alive in Jacob's family will again follow the powerful God.

22 Israel, your people are many, like the grains of sand by the sea. But only a few of them will be left alive to return to the Lord. God has announced that he will destroy the land completely and fairly.

23 The Lord God All-Powerful will certainly destroy this land, as he has announced.

24 This is what the Lord God All-Powerful says: "My people living in Jerusalem, don't be afraid of the Assyrians, who beat you with a rod and raise a stick against you, as Egypt did.

25 After a short time my anger against you will stop, and then I will turn my anger to destroying them."

26 Then the Lord All-Powerful will beat the Assyrians with a whip as he defeated Midian at the rock of Oreb. He will raise his stick over the waters as he did in Egypt.

27 Then the troubles that Assyria puts on you will be removed, and the load they make you carry will be taken away.

28 The army of Assyria will enter near Aiath. Its soldiers will walk through Migron. They will store their food in Micmash.

29 The army will go over the pass. The soldiers will sleep at Geba. The people of Ramah will be afraid, and the people at Gibeah of Saul will run away.

30 Cry out, Bath Gallim! Laishah, listen!

31 The people of Madmenah are running away; the people of Gebim are hiding.

32 This day the army will stop at Nob. They will shake their fist at Mount Zion, at the hill of Jerusalem.

33 Watch! The Lord God All-Powerful with his great power will chop them down like a great tree. Those who are great will be cut down; those who are important will fall to the ground.

34 He will cut them down as a forest is cut down with an ax. will fall by the power of the Mighty One.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 vae qui condunt leges iniquas et scribentes iniustitiam scripserunt

2 ut opprimerent in iudicio pauperes et vim facerent causae humilium populi mei ut essent viduae praeda eorum et pupillos diriperent

3 quid facietis in die visitationis et calamitatis de longe venientis ad cuius fugietis auxilium et ubi derelinquetis gloriam vestram

4 ne incurvemini sub vinculo et cum interfectis cadatis super omnibus his non est aversus furor eius sed adhuc manus eius extenta

5 vae Assur virga furoris mei et baculus ipse in manu eorum indignatio mea

6 ad gentem fallacem mittam eum et contra populum furoris mei mandabo illi ut auferat spolia et diripiat praedam et ponat illum in conculcationem quasi lutum platearum

7 ipse autem non sic arbitrabitur et cor eius non ita aestimabit sed ad conterendum erit cor eius et ad internicionem gentium non paucarum

8 dicet enim

9 numquid non principes mei simul reges sunt numquid non ut Charchamis sic Chalanno et ut Arfad sic Emath numquid non ut Damascus sic Samaria

10 quomodo invenit manus mea regna idoli sic et simulacra eorum de Hierusalem et de Samaria

11 numquid non sicut feci Samariae et idolis eius sic faciam Hierusalem et simulacris eius

12 et erit cum impleverit Dominus cuncta opera sua in monte Sion et in Hierusalem visitabo super fructum magnifici cordis regis Assur et super gloriam altitudinis oculorum eius

13 dixit enim in fortitudine manus meae feci et in sapientia mea intellexi et abstuli terminos populorum et principes eorum depraedatus sum et detraxi quasi potens in sublime residentes

14 et invenit quasi nidum manus mea fortitudinem populorum et sicut colliguntur ova quae derelicta sunt sic universam terram ego congregavi et non fuit qui moveret pinnam et aperiret os et ganniret

15 numquid gloriabitur securis contra eum qui secat in ea aut exaltabitur serra contra eum a quo trahitur quomodo si elevetur virga contra levantem se et exaltetur baculus qui utique lignum est

16 propter hoc mittet Dominator Deus exercituum in pinguibus eius tenuitatem et subtus gloriam eius succensa ardebit quasi conbustio ignis

17 et erit lumen Israhel in igne et Sanctus eius in flamma et succendetur et devorabitur spina eius et vepres in die una

18 et gloria saltus eius et Carmeli eius ab anima usque ad carnem consumetur et erit terrore profugus

19 et reliquiae ligni saltus eius pro paucitate numerabuntur et puer scribet eos

20 et erit in die illa non adiciet residuum Israhel et hii qui fugerint de domo Iacob inniti super eo qui percutit eos sed innitetur super Dominum Sanctum Israhel in veritate

21 reliquiae convertentur reliquiae inquam Iacob ad Deum fortem

22 si enim fuerit populus tuus Israhel quasi harena maris reliquiae convertentur ex eo consummatio adbreviata inundabit iustitiam

23 consummationem enim et adbreviationem Dominus Deus exercituum faciet in medio omnis terrae

24 propter hoc haec dicit Dominus Deus exercituum noli timere populus meus habitator Sion ab Assur in virga percutiet te et baculum suum levabit super te in via Aegypti

25 adhuc enim paululum modicumque et consummabitur indignatio et furor meus super scelus eorum

26 et suscitabit super eum Dominus exercituum flagellum iuxta plagam Madian in petra Oreb et virgam suam super mare et levabit eam in via Aegypti

27 et erit in die illa auferetur onus eius de umero tuo et iugum eius de collo tuo et conputrescet iugum a facie olei

28 veniet in Aiath transibit in Magron apud Machmas commendabit vasa sua

29 transierunt cursim Gabee sedes nostra obstipuit Rama Gabaath Saulis fugit

30 hinni voce tua filia Gallim adtende Laisa paupercula Anathoth

31 migravit Medemena habitatores Gebim confortamini

32 adhuc dies est ut in Nob stetur agitabit manum suam super montem filiae Sion collem Hierusalem

33 ecce Dominator Dominus exercituum confringet lagunculam in terrore et excelsi statura succidentur et sublimes humiliabuntur

34 et subvertentur condensa saltus ferro et Libanus cum excelsis cadet
