Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.
23:010:034 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
23:011:001 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
23:011:002 And 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 of the fear of the LORD;
23:011:003 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
23:011:004 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
23:011:005 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
23:011:006 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
23:011:007 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
23:011:008 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.
23:011:009 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
23:011:010 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
23:011:011 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
23:011:012 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
23:011:013 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.
23:011:014 But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.
23:011:015 And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod.
23:011:016 And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
23:012:001 And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.
23:012:002 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.
23:012:003 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
23:012:004 And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.
23:012:005 Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.
23:012:006 Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.
23:013:001 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
23:013:002 Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
23:013:003 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.
23:013:004 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
23:013:005 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
23:013:006 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
23:013:007 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:
23:013:008 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
23:013:009 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
23:013:010 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
23:013:011 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
23:013:012 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
23:013:013 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
23:013:014 And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.
23:013:015 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.
23:013:016 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
23:013:017 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.
23:013:018 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare children.
23:013:019 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
23:013:020 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.
23:013:021 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures;
