The Bible, King James version, Book 23: Isaiah. Unknown

and of Samaria;

      23:010:011 Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?

      23:010:012 Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.

      23:010:013 For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man:

      23:010:014 And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.

      23:010:015 Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood.

      23:010:016 Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.

      23:010:017 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;

      23:010:018 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standard-bearer fainteth.

      23:010:019 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.

      23:010:020 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

      23:010:021 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.

      23:010:022 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

      23:010:023 For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land.

      23:010:024 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.

      23:010:025 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.

      23:010:026 And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.

      23:010:027 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

      23:010:028 He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages:

      23:010:029 They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled.

      23:010:030 Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.

      23:010:031 Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.

      23:010:032 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

      23:010:033 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
