Sefaria Isaiah 10 Revised JPS
Sefaria Isaiah 10 Revised JPS
Current Version
Current Translation
Those who write out evil writs
And compose iniquitous documents,
To rob of their rights the needy of My people;
That widows may be their spoil,
And fatherless children their booty!
When the calamity comes from afar?
To whom will you flee for help,
And how will you save your carcasses
From falling beneath the slain?
Yet God’s anger has not turned back,
And the divine arm is outstretched still.
Assyria, rod of My anger,
In whose hand, as a staff, is My fury!
I charge him against a people that provokes Me,
To take its spoil and to seize its booty
And to make it a thing trampled
Like the mire of the streets.
His mind harbors evil designs;
For he means to destroy,
To wipe out nations, not a few.
“After all, I have kings as my captains!
Or Hamath from Arpad?
Or Samaria from Damascus?
The insignificant kingdoms,
Whose images exceeded
Jerusalem’s and Samaria’s,
What I did to Samaria and her idols?”
“By the might of my hand have I wrought it,
By my skill, for I am clever:
I have erased the borders of peoples;
I have plundered their treasures,
And exiled their vast populations.
The wealth of peoples;
As one gathers abandoned eggs,
So I gathered all the earth:
Nothing so much as flapped a wing
Or opened a mouth to peep.”
Or a saw magnify itself above one who wields it?
As though the rod raised one who lifts it,
As though the staff lifted the person!
The Sovereign GOD of Hosts will send
A wasting away in its fatness;
And under its body shall burn
A burning like that of fire,
Destroying frame and flesh.
It shall be like an invalid who pines away.
And its Holy One flame.
It will burn and consume its thorns
And its thistles in a single day,
Shall be so few that a child may record them.
The remnant of Israel
And the escaped of the House of Jacob
Shall lean no more upon him that beats it,
But shall lean sincerely
On GOD, the Holy One of Israel.
Only a remnant of Jacob,
To Mighty God.
Should be as the sands of the sea,
Only a remnant of it shall return.
Destruction is decreed;
Retribution comes like a flood!
A decree of destruction upon all the land.
His burden shall drop from your back,
And his yoke from your neck;
The yoke shall be destroyed because of fatness.
He proceeded to Migron,
At Michmas he deposited his baggage.
“Geba is to be our night quarters!”
Ramah was alarmed;
Gibeah of Saul took to flight.
Hearken, Laishah!
Take up the cry, Anathoth!”
The dwellers of Gebim sought refuge.
He shall stand and wave his hand.
O mount of Fair Zion!
O hill of Jerusalem!
Will hew off the tree-crowns with an ax:
The tall ones shall be felled,
The lofty ones cut down:
And the Lebanon trees shall fall in their majesty.
