30.26
ISAIAH
- And healeth the stroke of their wound.
- 27Behold, the name of the Lord cometh from far,
- With His anger burning, and in thick uplifting of smoke;
- His lips are full of indignation,
- And His tongue is as a devouring fire;
- 28And His breath is as an overflowing stream,
- That divideth even unto the neck,
- To sift the nations with the sieve of destruction;
- And a bridle that causeth to err shall be in the jaws of the peoples.
- 29Ye shall have a song
- As in the night when a feast is hallowed;
- And gladness of heart, as when one goeth with the pipe
- To come into the mountain of the Lord, to the Rock of Israel.
- 30And the Lord will cause His glorious voice to be heard,
- And will show the lighting down of His arm,
- With furious anger, and the flame of a devouring fire,
- With a bursting of clouds, and a storm of rain, and hailstones.
- 31For through the voice of the Lord shall Asshur be dismayed,
- The rod with which He smote.
- 32And in every place where the appointed staff shall pass,
- Which the Lord shall lay upon him,
- It shall be with tabrets and harps;
- And in battles of wielding will He fight with them.
- 33For a hearth is ordered of old;
- Yea, for the king it is prepared,
- Deep and large;
- The pile thereof is fire and much wood;
- The breath of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
- 31Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help,
- And rely on horses,
- And trust in chariots, because they are many,
- And in horsemen, because they are exceeding mighty;
- But they look not unto the Holy One of Israel,
- Neither seek the Lord!
- 2Yet He also is wise,
- And bringeth evil,
- And doth not call back His words;
- But will arise against the house of the evil-doers,
- And against the help of them that work iniquity.
- 3Now the Egyptians are men, and not God,
- And their horses flesh, and not spirit;
- So when the Lord shall stretch out His hand,
- Both he that helpeth shall stumble, and he that is helped shall fall,
- And they all shall perish together.
- 4For thus saith the Lord unto me:
- Like as the lion, or the young lion, growling over his prey,
- Though a multitude of shepherds be called forth against him,
- Will not be dismayed at their voice,
- Nor abase himself for the noise of them;
- So will the Lord of hosts come down
- To fight upon mount Zion, and upon the hill thereof.
- 5As birds hovering,
- So will the Lord of hosts protect Jerusalem;
- He will deliver it as He protecteth it,
- He will rescue it as He passeth over.
