1	Woe to those who make unfair laws, and who, when writing, write injustice:	Woe to those who decree iniquitous decrees, and the writers who keep writing oppression,	Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees,
2	in order to oppress the poor in judgment, and to do violence to the case of the humble of my people, in order that widows may be their prey, and that they might plunder the orphan.	to turn aside the needy from justice and to rob the poor of my people of their right, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!	to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless.
3	What will you do on the day of visitation and calamity which is approaching from afar? To whom will you flee for assistance? And where will you leave behind your own glory,	What will you do on the day of punishment, in the ruin that will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help, and where will you leave your wealth?	What will you do on the day of reckoning, when disaster comes from afar? To whom will you run for help? Where will you leave your riches?
4	so that you may not be bowed down under the chains, and fall with the slain? Concerning all this, his fury was not turned away; instead, his hand was still extended.	Nothing remains but to crouch among the prisoners or fall among the slain. For all this his anger has not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still.	Nothing will remain but to cringe among the captives or fall among the slain. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised.
5	Woe to Assur! He is the rod and the staff of my fury, and my indignation is in their hands.	Woe to Assyria, the rod of my anger; the staff in their hands is my fury!	“Woe to the Assyrian, the rod of my anger, in whose hand is the club of my wrath!
6	I will send him to a deceitful nation, and I will order him against the people of my fury, so that he may take away the plunder, and tear apart the prey, and place it to be trampled like the mud of the streets.	Against a godless nation I send him, and against the people of my wrath I command him, to take spoil and seize plunder, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.	I send him against a godless nation, I dispatch him against a people who anger me, to seize loot and snatch plunder, and to trample them down like mud in the streets.
7	But he will not consider it to be so, and his heart will not suppose it to be this way. Instead, his heart will be set to crush and to exterminate more than a few nations.	But he does not so intend, and his heart does not so think; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few;	But this is not what he intends, this is not what he has in mind; his purpose is to destroy, to put an end to many nations.
8	For he will say:	for he says: “Are not my commanders all kings?	Are not my commanders all kings?’ he says.
9	“Are not my princes like many kings? Is not Calno like Carchemish, and Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?	Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?	Has not Kalno fared like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad, and Samaria like Damascus?
10	In the same manner as my hand reached the kingdoms of the idol, so also will it reach their false images, those of Jerusalem and of Samaria.	As my hand has reached to the kingdoms of the idols, whose carved images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,	As my hand seized the kingdoms of the idols, kingdoms whose images excelled those of Jerusalem and Samaria—
11	Should I not do to Jerusalem and her false images, just as I have done to Samaria and her idols?”	shall I not do to Jerusalem and her idols as I have done to Samaria and her images?”	shall I not deal with Jerusalem and her images as I dealt with Samaria and her idols?’”
12	And this shall be: when the Lord will have completed each of his works on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I will act against the fruit of the exalted heart of king Assur, and against the glory of the haughtiness of his eyes.	When the Lord has finished all his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, he will punish the speech of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and the boastful look in his eyes.	When the Lord has finished all his work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, he will say, “I will punish the king of Assyria for the willful pride of his heart and the haughty look in his eyes.
13	For he has said: “I have acted with the strength of my own hand, and I have understood with my own wisdom, and I have removed the limits of the people, and I have plundered their leaders, and, like one with power, I have pulled down those residing on high.	For he says: “By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I have understanding; I remove the boundaries of peoples, and plunder their treasures; like a bull I bring down those who sit on thrones.	For he says: “’By the strength of my hand I have done this, and by my wisdom, because I have understanding. I removed the boundaries of nations, I plundered their treasures; like a mighty one I subdued their kings.
14	And my hand has reached to the strength of the people, as to a nest. And, just as the eggs which have been left behind are gathered, so have I gathered the entire earth. And there was no one who moved a wing, or opened a mouth, or uttered a snarl.”	My hand has found like a nest the wealth of the peoples; and as one gathers eggs that have been forsaken, so I have gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved a wing or opened the mouth or chirped.”	As 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.’”
15	Should the axe glorify itself over him who wields it? Or can the saw exalt itself over him who pulls it? How can a rod lift itself up against him who wields it, or a staff exalt itself, though it is only wood?	Shall the axe boast over him who hews with it, or the saw magnify itself against him who wields it? As if a rod should wield him who lifts it, or as if a staff should lift him who is not wood!	Does 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!
16	Because of this, the sovereign Lord, the Lord of hosts, will send leanness among his fat ones. And under the influence of his glory, a burning ardor will rage, like a consuming fire.	Therefore the Lord GOD of hosts will send wasting sickness among his stout warriors, and under his glory a burning will be kindled, like the burning of fire.	Therefore, the Lord, the LORD Almighty, will send a wasting disease upon his sturdy warriors; under his pomp a fire will be kindled like a blazing flame.
17	And the light of Israel will be like a fire, and the Holy One of Israel will be like a flame. And his thorns and briers will be set ablaze and devoured, in one day.	The light of Israel will become a fire, and his Holy One a flame, and it will burn and devour his thorns and briers in one day.	The Light of Israel will become a fire, their Holy One a flame; in a single day it will burn and consume his thorns and his briers.
18	And the glory of his forest and of his beautiful hill will be consumed, from the soul even to the flesh. And he will flee away in terror.	The glory of his forest and of his fruitful land the LORD will destroy, both soul and body, and it will be as when a sick man wastes away.	The splendor of his forests and fertile fields it will completely destroy, as when a sick person wastes away.
19	And what remains of the trees of his forest will be so few, and so easily numbered, that even a child could write them down.	The remnant of the trees of his forest will be so few that a child can write them down.	And the remaining trees of his forests will be so few that a child could write them down.
20	And this shall be in that day: those not added to the remnant of Israel, and those who escape of the house of Jacob, will not lean upon him who strikes them. Instead, they will lean upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.	In that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no more lean on him who struck them, but will lean on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.	In that day the remnant of Israel, the survivors of Jacob, will no longer rely on him who struck them down but will truly rely on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.
21	The remnant of Jacob, again I say the remnant, will be converted to the mighty God.	A remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.	A remnant will return, a remnant of Jacob will return to the Mighty God.
22	For though your people, O Israel, will be like the sand of the sea, yet only a remnant of them will be converted. The consummation, having been shortened, will be inundated with justice.	For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will return. Destruction is decreed, overflowing with righteousness.	Though your people be like the sand by the sea, Israel, only a remnant will return. Destruction has been decreed, overwhelming and righteous.
23	For the Lord, the God of hosts, will accomplish an abbreviation and a consummation, in the midst of all the earth.	For the Lord GOD of hosts will make a full end, as decreed, in the midst of all the earth.	The Lord, the LORD Almighty, will carry out the destruction decreed upon the whole land.
24	For this reason, the Lord, the God of hosts, says this: “My people, who inhabit Zion: do not be afraid of Assur. He will strike you with his rod, and he will lift up his staff over you, on the way of Egypt.	Therefore thus says the Lord GOD of hosts: “O my people, who dwell in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrians when they strike with the rod and lift up their staff against you as the Egyptians did.	Therefore this is what the Lord, the LORD Almighty, says: “My people who live in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrians, who beat you with a rod and lift up a club against you, as Egypt did.
25	But after a little while and a brief time, my indignation will be consumed, and my fury will turn to their wickedness.”	For in a very little while my fury will come to an end, and my anger will be directed to their destruction.	Very soon my anger against you will end and my wrath will be directed to their destruction.”
26	And the Lord of hosts will raise up a scourge over him, like the scourge of Midian at the rock of Oreb, and he will raise up his rod over the sea, and he will lift it up against the way of Egypt.	And the LORD of hosts will wield against them a whip, as when he struck Midian at the rock of Oreb. And his staff will be over the sea, and he will lift it as he did in Egypt.	The LORD Almighty will lash them with a whip, as when he struck down Midian at the rock of Oreb; and he will raise his staff over the waters, as he did in Egypt.
27	And this shall be in that day: his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke will be taken away from your neck, and the yoke will decay at the appearance of the oil.	And in that day his burden will depart from your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck; and the yoke will be broken because of the fat.”	In that day their burden will be lifted from your shoulders, their yoke from your neck; the yoke will be broken because you have grown so fat.
28	He will approach Aiath; he will cross into Migron; he will entrust his vessels to Michmash.	He has come to Aiath; he has passed through Migron; at Michmash he stores his baggage;	They enter Aiath; they pass through Migron; they store supplies at Mikmash.
29	They have passed through in haste; Geba is our seat; Ramah was stupefied; Gibeah of Saul fled.	they have crossed over the pass; at Geba they lodge for the night; Ramah trembles; Gibeah of Saul has fled.	They go over the pass, and say, “We will camp overnight at Geba.” Ramah trembles; Gibeah of Saul flees.
30	Neigh with your voice, daughter of Gallim; pay attention, Laishah, impoverished woman of Anathoth.	Cry aloud, O daughter of Gallim! Give attention, O Laishah! O poor Anathoth!	Cry out, Daughter Gallim! Listen, Laishah! Poor Anathoth!
31	Madmenah has moved away; be strengthened, you inhabitants of Gebim.	Madmenah is in flight; the inhabitants of Gebim flee for safety.	Madmenah is in flight; the people of Gebim take cover.
32	It is still daylight, so stand at Nob. He will shake his hand against the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.	This very day he will halt at Nob; he will shake his fist at the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.	This day they will halt at Nob; they will shake their fist at the mount of Daughter Zion, at the hill of Jerusalem.
33	Behold, the sovereign Lord of hosts will crush the little bottle of wine with terror, and the exalted in stature will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.	Behold, the Lord GOD of hosts will lop the boughs with terrifying power; the great in height will be hewn down, and the lofty will be brought low.	See, the Lord, the LORD Almighty, will lop off the boughs with great power. The lofty trees will be felled, the tall ones will be brought low.
34	And the dense forest will be overturned with iron. And Lebanon, with its exalted ones, will fall.	He will cut down the thickets of the forest with an axe, and Lebanon will fall by the Majestic One.	He will cut down the forest thickets with an ax; Lebanon will fall before the Mighty One.
