glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.
[17] 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;
[18] And shall
consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when
a standardbearer fainteth.
[19] And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write
them.
[20] 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.
[21] The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty
God.
[22] 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] For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a
consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land.
[24] 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.
[25] For yet a very little while, and the
indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.
[26] 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.
[27] 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.
[28] He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash
he hath laid up his carriages:
[29] They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at
Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled.
[30] Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be
heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.
[31] Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves
to flee.
[32] 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.
[33] 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.
[34] And
he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
Isa.11
[1] And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
[2]
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;
[3] 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:
[4] 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.
[5] And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness
the girdle of his reins.
[6] 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.
[7] And the
cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the
ox.
[8] And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand
on the cockatrice' den.
[9] 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.
[10] 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.
[11] 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.
[12] 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.
[13] 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.
[14] 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.
[15] 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.
[16] 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.
