OET ISA chapter 10

Literal Version

10 Those who make wicked laws won’t end well,

≈nor will administrators who write troublesome edicts,

2 suppressing the rights of the needy,

≈and robbing the poor among my people of justice,

making widows become plunder,

≈and preying on the fatherless.

3 Then what will you all do for the judgement day,

≈and for the destruction coming from far away?

Who will you all flee to for help then,

and where will you leave your wealth?

4 All they can do is to crouch among the prisoners,

or fall among the killed.

In all these things, Yahweh’s anger doesn’t subside,

and he continues to take action against them.

10:5 Used of God the Asirya

5 Assyria won’t end well.

The rod of my anger and the staff of my rage is in their hands,[ref]

6 I’ve sent their king against an arrogant nation

≈and against the people that I’m angry with.

I order him to plunder the plunder and to prey on the prey,

and to trample them—trodden down like the mud in the streets.

7 However, that’s not what’s in his mind,

and he doesn’t even think about those things,

because he’s bent on destruction

and the elimination of not just a few nations.

8 In fact, he says,

“Aren’t all my commanders like kings?

9 We destroyed Kalno liked we did at Karkemish,

Hamat like Arpad, and Shomron (Samaria) like Damascus.

10 I’ve already punished idolatrous kingdoms,

and their idols and images were more impressive that those in Yerushalem and Shomron,

11 so just like I did to Shomron and its idols,

I’ll will also do to Yerushalem and its idols.”

12 In due course, when my master has finished all his work against Mt. Tsiyyon (Zion) and against Yerushalem, I’ll deal with the result of the Assyrian king’s proud plans and the arrogant attitude that he displays, 13 because he says,

“It was my own strength and initiatives that got me this far,

and by using my wisdom, because I was discerning.

Now I’ve removed the boundaries of the peoples,

and I’ve stolen their treasures,

and like a powerful animal, I’ve brought down the inhabitants.

14 My hand has seized the wealth of the nations

just like someone taking the eggs out of a nest.

I gathered it from all over the world

but no one fluttered a wing, or opened a mouth and chirped.

15 Will the axe say its greater than the person who swings it?

≈Will the saw praise itself more than the one who uses it?

As if a rod could move those who’re lifting it up,

≈or a staff could lift up what’s not made from wood.

16 Therefore, my master, army commander Yahweh

will make his muscular warriors waste away,

and instead of the Assyrian king getting glory,

he’ll get his fingers burnt like with a burning flame.

17 Then Yisrael’s light will become a fire,

≈and its holy one a flame,

→and it will burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day.
