2to keep the poor from getting a fair trial and to deprive the needy among my people of justice, so that widows can be their spoil and they can plunder the fatherless.

2to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless.

5Woe to Assyria, the rod of my anger--the staff in their hands is my wrath.

5"Woe to the Assyrian, the rod of my anger, in whose hand is the club of my wrath!

6I will send him against a godless nation; I will command him to go against a people destined for my rage, to take spoils, to plunder, and to trample them down like clay in the streets.

7But this is not what he intends; this is not what he plans. It is his intent to destroy and to cut off many nations.

8Are not my commanders all kings?' he says.

9Isn't Calno like Carchemish? Isn't Hamath like Arpad? Isn't Samaria like Damascus?

10As my hand seized the idolatrous kingdoms, whose idols exceeded those of Jerusalem and Samaria,

10As my hand seized the kingdoms of the idols, kingdoms whose images excelled those of Jerusalem and Samaria--

11shall I not deal with Jerusalem and her images as I dealt with Samaria and her idols?'"

14My hand has reached out, as if into a nest, to seize the wealth of the nations. Like one gathering abandoned eggs, I gathered the whole earth. No wing fluttered; no beak opened or chirped.

14As one reaches into a nest, so my hand reached for the wealth of the nations; as people gather abandoned eggs, so I gathered all the countries; not one flapped a wing, or opened its mouth to chirp.'"

15Does the ax raise itself above the person who swings it, or the saw boast against the one who uses it? As if a rod were to wield the person who lifts it up, or a club brandish the one who is not wood!
