To rob the needy of justice, And to take what is right from the poor of My people, That widows may be their prey, And that they may rob the fatherless.

What will you do in the day of punishment, And in the desolation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? And where will you leave your glory?

Without Me they shall bow down among the prisoners, And they shall fall among the slain.» For all this His anger is not turned away, But His hand is stretched out still.

«Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger And the staff in whose hand is My indignation.

I will send him against an ungodly nation, And against the people of My wrath I will give him charge, To seize the spoil, to take the prey, And to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

Yet he does not mean so, Nor does his heart think so; But it is in his heart to destroy, And cut off not a few nations.

For he says, «Are not my princes altogether kings?

Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?

As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, Whose carved images excelled those of Jerusalem and Samaria,

As I have done to Samaria and her idols, Shall I not do also to Jerusalem and her idols?»́

Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Lord has performed all His work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, that He will say, «I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his haughty looks.»

For he says: «By the strength of my hand I have done it, And by my wisdom, for I am prudent; Also I have removed the boundaries of the people, And have robbed their treasuries; So I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man.

My hand has found like a nest the riches of the people, And as one gathers eggs that are left, I have gathered all the earth; And there was no one who moved his wing, Nor opened his mouth with even a peep.»

Shall the ax boast itself against him who chops with it? Or shall the saw exalt itself against him who saws with it? As if a rod could wield itself against those who lift it up, Or as if a staff could lift up, as if it were not wood!

Therefore the Lord, the Lord of hosts, Will send leanness among his fat ones; And under his glory He will kindle a burning Like the burning of a fire.

So the Light of Israel will be for a fire, And his Holy One for a flame; It will burn and devour His thorns and his briers in one day.

And it will consume the glory of his forest and of his fruitful field, Both soul and body; And they will be as when a sick man wastes away.

Then the rest of the trees of his forest Will be so few in number That a child may write them.

And it shall come to pass in that day That the remnant of Israel, And such as have escaped of the house of Jacob, Will never again depend on him who defeated them, But will depend on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

The remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, To the Mighty God.

For though your people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea, A remnant of them will return; The destruction decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

For the Lord GOD of hosts Will make a determined end In the midst of all the land.

Therefore thus says the Lord GOD of hosts: «O My people, who dwell in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrian. He shall strike you with a rod and lift up his staff against you, in the manner of Egypt.

For yet a very little while and the indignation will cease, as will My anger in their destruction.»

And the LORD of hosts will stir up a scourge for him like the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb; as His rod was on the sea, so will He lift it up in the manner of Egypt.

It shall come to pass in that day That his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, And his yoke from your neck, And the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil.

He has come to Aiath, He has passed Migron; At Michmash he has attended to his equipment.

They have gone along the ridge, They have taken up lodging at Geba. Ramah is afraid, Gibeah of Saul has fled.

Lift up your voice, O daughter of Gallim! Cause it to be heard as far as Laish-- O poor Anathoth!

Madmenah has fled, The inhabitants of Gebim seek refuge.

As yet he will remain at Nob that day; He will shake his fist at the mount of the daughter of Zion, The hill of Jerusalem.

Behold, the Lord, The LORD of hosts, Will lop off the bough with terror; Those of high stature will be hewn down, And the haughty will be humbled.

He will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon will fall by the Mighty One.

Го́ре пи́шущымъ лука́вство: пи́шущiи бо лука́вство пи́шутъ,

укланя́юще су́дъ убо́гихъ, восхища́юще су́дъ ни́щихъ люді́й мои́хъ, я́ко бы́ти и́мъ вдови́цѣ въ расхище́нiе и сиротѣ́ въ разграбле́нiе.

И что́ сотворя́тъ въ де́нь посѣще́нiя? ско́рбь бо ва́мъ отдале́че прiи́детъ. И къ кому́ прибѣ́гнете, да помо́жетъ ва́мъ? И гдѣ́ оста́вите сла́ву ва́шу,

е́же не впа́сти въ плѣне́нiе? И подъ убiе́ными паду́тъ. И во всѣ́хъ си́хъ не отврати́ся гнѣ́въ его́, но еще́ рука́ его́ высока́.

Го́ре Ассири́емъ, же́злъ я́рости моея́ и гнѣ́въ е́сть въ руку́ и́хъ.

Гнѣ́въ мо́й послю́ на язы́къ беззако́ненъ, и свои́хъ люді́й повелю́ сотвори́ти коры́сти и плѣне́нiе, и попра́ти гра́ды и положи́ти я́ въ пра́хъ.

Се́й же не та́ко помы́сли и душе́ю не та́ко возмнѣ́: но отсту́питъ у́мъ его́, и е́же потреби́ти язы́ки не ма́лы.

И а́ще реку́тъ ему́: ты́ ли еси́ еди́нъ кня́зь?

И рече́тъ: не взя́хъ ли страны́, я́же вы́ше Вавило́на и хала́ни, идѣ́же сто́лпъ созда́нъ, и взя́хъ Араві́ю и Дама́скъ и самарі́ю?

Я́коже сiя́ взя́хъ, и вся́ княже́нiя возму́. Возрыда́йте, изва́янная во Иерусали́мѣ и въ самарі́и:

я́коже бо сотвори́хъ самарі́и и рукотворе́ннымъ ея́, та́ко сотворю́ и Иерусали́му и кумíромъ его́.

И бу́детъ, егда́ сконча́етъ Госпо́дь вся́ творя́ въ горѣ́ Сiо́ни и во Иерусали́мѣ, наведе́тъ на у́мъ вели́кiй, на кня́зя Ассирі́йска и на высоту́ сла́вы о́чiю его́.

Рече́ бо: крѣ́постiю руки́ моея́ сотворю́, и прему́дростiю ра́зума [моего́] отиму́ предѣ́лы язы́ковъ, и си́лу и́хъ плѣню́,

и сотрясу́ гра́ды населе́ныя, и вселе́нную всю́ объиму́ руко́ю мое́ю я́ко гнѣздо́, и я́ко оста́вленая я́ица возму́: и нѣ́сть, и́же убѣжи́тъ мене́, или́ проти́ву мнѣ́ рече́тъ, и отве́рзетъ уста́ и глуми́тъ.

Еда́ просла́вится сѣки́ра безъ сѣку́щаго е́ю? или́ вознесе́тся пила́ безъ влеку́щаго ю́? Та́кожде а́ще кто́ во́зметъ же́злъ, или́ дре́во: и не та́ко.

Но по́слетъ Госпо́дь Савао́ѳъ на твою́ че́сть безче́стiе, и на твою́ сла́ву о́гнь горя́ возгори́тся.

И бу́детъ свѣ́тъ Изра́илевъ во о́гнь, и освяти́тъ его́ огне́мъ горя́щимъ, и поя́стъ я́ко сѣ́но вещество́.

Въ то́й де́нь уга́снутъ го́ры и хо́лми и дубра́вы, и поя́стъ от души́ да́же до пло́тей: и бу́детъ бѣжа́й, я́ко бѣжа́й от пла́мене горя́ща:

и оста́вльшiися от ни́хъ бу́дутъ въ число́, и отроча́ ма́лое напи́шетъ я́.

И бу́детъ въ то́й де́нь, не приложи́тся ктому́ оста́нокъ Изра́илевъ, и спасе́ннiи Иа́ковли не бу́дутъ ктому́ упова́юще на оби́дѣвшыя и́хъ, но бу́дутъ упова́юще на Бо́га свята́го Изра́илева и́стиною.

И обрати́тся оста́нокъ Иа́ковль къ Бо́гу крѣ́пкому.

И а́ще бу́дутъ лю́дiе Изра́илевы я́ко песо́къ морскі́й, оста́нокъ и́хъ спасе́тся:

сло́во бо соверша́я и сокраща́я пра́вдою, я́ко сло́во сокраще́но сотвори́тъ Госпо́дь во все́й вселе́ннѣй.

Сего́ ра́ди сiя́ глаго́летъ Госпо́дь Савао́ѳъ: не бо́йтеся, лю́дiе мои́, от Ассирі́анъ, живу́щiи въ Сiо́нѣ, я́ко жезло́мъ порази́тъ тя́: я́зву бо наво́дитъ на тя́, е́же ви́дѣти пу́ть Еги́пта.

Еще́ бо ма́ло, и преста́нетъ гнѣ́въ, я́рость же моя́ на совѣ́тъ и́хъ:

и воздви́гнетъ Бо́гъ си́лъ на ня́ я́зву, я́ко я́зву Мадiа́млю на мѣ́стѣ ско́рби, и я́рость его́ на пу́ть и́же къ мо́рю, на пу́ть и́же во Еги́петъ:

и бу́детъ въ то́й де́нь, отъи́мется и́го его́ от ра́мене твоего́ и стра́хъ его́ от тебе́, и согнiе́тъ и́го от ра́менъ ва́шихъ.

Прiи́детъ бо во гра́дъ Агга́й, и пре́йдетъ въ Магеддо́, и въ Махма́сѣ положи́тъ сосу́ды своя́.

И мине́тъ де́брь, и прiи́детъ во Агга́й: стра́хъ прiи́метъ раму́ гра́дъ Сау́ловъ,

побѣ́гнетъ дще́рь Гали́мля, услы́шится въ лаисѣ́, услы́шится во Анаѳо́ѳѣ.

И ужасе́ся Мадеми́на и живу́щiи во гиви́мѣ.

Утѣша́йте дне́сь е́же на пути́ пребы́ти: утѣша́йте руко́ю го́ру дще́рь Сiо́ню, и хо́лми, и́же во Иерусали́мѣ:

се́, Влады́ка Госпо́дь Савао́ѳъ смяте́тъ сла́вныя со крѣ́постiю, и высо́цiи укори́зною сокруша́тся, и высо́цыи смиря́тся,

и паду́тъ высо́цыи мече́мъ, Лива́нъ же съ высо́кими паде́тся.

οὐαὶ τοῖς γράφουσιν πονηρίαν γράφοντες γὰρ πονηρίαν γράφουσιν

ἐκκλίνοντες κρίσιν πτωχῶν ἁρπάζοντες κρίμα πενήτων τοῦ λαοῦ μου ὥστε εἶναι αὐτοῖς χήραν εἰς ἁρπαγὴν καὶ ὀρφανὸν εἰς προνομήν

καὶ τί ποιήσουσιν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς ἐπισκοπῆς ἡ γὰρ θλῖψις ὑμῖν πόρρωθεν ἥξει καὶ πρὸς τίνα καταφεύξεσθε τοῦ βοηθηθῆναι καὶ ποῦ καταλείψετε τὴν δόξαν ὑμῶν

τοῦ μὴ ἐμπεσεῖν εἰς ἐπαγωγήν ἐπὶ πᾶσι τούτοις οὐκ ἀπεστράφη ὁ θυμός ἀλλ᾿ ἔτι ἡ χεὶρ ὑψηλή

οὐαὶ ᾿Ασσυρίοις ἡ ῥάβδος τοῦ θυμοῦ μου καὶ ὀργῆς ἐστιν ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῶν

τὴν ὀργήν μου εἰς ἔθνος ἄνομον ἀποστελῶ καὶ τῷ ἐμῷ λαῷ συντάξω ποιῆσαι σκῦλα καὶ προνομὴν καὶ καταπατεῖν τὰς πόλεις καὶ θεῖναι αὐτὰς εἰς κονιορτόν

αὐτὸς δὲ οὐχ οὕτως ἐνεθυμήθη καὶ τῇ ψυχῇ οὐχ οὕτως λελόγισται ἀλλὰ ἀπαλλάξει ὁ νοῦς αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῦ ἔθνη ἐξολεθρεῦσαι οὐκ ὀλίγα

καὶ ἐὰν εἴπωσιν αὐτῷ σὺ μόνος εἶ ἄρχων

καὶ ἐρεῖ οὐκ ἔλαβον τὴν χώραν τὴν ἐπάνω Βαβυλῶνος καὶ Χαλαννη οὗ ὁ πύργος ᾠκοδομήθη καὶ ἔλαβον ᾿Αραβίαν καὶ Δαμασκὸν καὶ Σαμάρειαν

ὃν τρόπον ταύτας ἔλαβον ἐν τῇ χειρί μου καὶ πάσας τὰς ἀρχὰς λήμψομαι ὀλολύξατε τὰ γλυπτὰ ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ

ὃν τρόπον γὰρ ἐποίησα Σαμαρείᾳ καὶ τοῖς χειροποιήτοις αὐτῆς οὕτως ποιήσω καὶ Ιερουσαλημ καὶ τοῖς εἰδώλοις αὐτῆς

εἶπεν γάρ τῇ ἰσχύι ποιήσω καὶ τῇ σοφίᾳ τῆς συνέσεως ἀφελῶ ὅρια ἐθνῶν καὶ τὴν ἰσχὺν αὐτῶν προνομεύσω καὶ σείσω πόλεις κατοικουμένας

καὶ ἔσται τὸ φῶς τοῦ Ισραηλ εἰς πῦρ καὶ ἁγιάσει αὐτὸν ἐν πυρὶ καιομένῳ καὶ φάγεται ὡσεὶ χόρτον τὴν ὕλην τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ

ἀποσβεσθήσεται τὰ ὄρη καὶ οἱ βουνοὶ καὶ οἱ δρυμοί καὶ καταφάγεται ἀπὸ ψυχῆς ἕως σαρκῶν καὶ ἔσται ὁ φεύγων ὡς ὁ φεύγων ἀπὸ φλογὸς καιομένης

καὶ ἔσται τὸ καταλειφθὲν τοῦ Ιακωβ ἐπὶ θεὸν ἰσχύοντα

καὶ ἐὰν γένηται ὁ λαὸς Ισραηλ ὡς ἡ ἄμμος τῆς θαλάσσης τὸ κατάλειμμα αὐτῶν σωθήσεται λόγον γὰρ συντελῶν καὶ συντέμνων ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ

ὅτι λόγον συντετμημένον ποιήσει ὁ θεὸς ἐν τῇ οἰκουμένῃ ὅλῃ

διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος σαβαωθ μὴ φοβοῦ ὁ λαός μου οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Σιων ἀπὸ ᾿Ασσυρίων ὅτι ἐν ῥάβδῳ πατάξει σε πληγὴν γὰρ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ σὲ τοῦ ἰδεῖν ὁδὸν Αἰγύπτου

ἔτι γὰρ μικρὸν καὶ παύσεται ἡ ὀργή ὁ δὲ θυμός μου ἐπὶ τὴν βουλὴν αὐτῶν

καὶ ἐπεγερεῖ ὁ θεὸς ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς κατὰ τὴν πληγὴν τὴν Μαδιαμ ἐν τόπῳ θλίψεως καὶ ὁ θυμὸς αὐτοῦ τῇ ὁδῷ τῇ κατὰ θάλασσαν εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν τὴν κατ᾿ Αἴγυπτον

ἥξει γὰρ εἰς τὴν πόλιν Αγγαι καὶ παρελεύσεται εἰς Μαγεδω καὶ ἐν Μαχμας θήσει τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ

καὶ παρελεύσεται φάραγγα καὶ ἥξει εἰς Αγγαι φόβος λήμψσεται Рαμα πόλιν Σαουλ φεύ_κσεται

σήμερον ἐν ὁδῷ τοῦ μεῖναι τῇ χειρὶ παρακαλεῖτε τὸ ὄρος τὴν θυγατέρα Σιων καὶ οἱ βουνοὶ οἱ ἐν Ιερουσαλημ

ἰδοὺ γὰρ ὁ δεσπότης κύριος σαβαωθ συνταράσσει τοὺς ἐνδόξους μετὰ ἰσχύος καὶ οἱ ὑψηλοὶ τῇ ὕβρει συντριβήσονται καὶ οἱ ὑψηλοὶ ταπεινωθήσονται
