ye
do in
the
day of visitation,
and in

?
And what do ye

day of inspection?
And at
desolation? --
from
afar

Near

.

send him against
an
hypocritical
nation

the

charge, to take
the
spoil, and to take
the
prey, and to tread
them
down
like
the mire
of the
streets
.

his heart think
so ;

his heart reckoneth
not
so ,

As my hand hath found
the kingdoms of the
idols
, and whose
graven images did
excel
them
of
Jerusalem and of
Samaria ;
As my hand hath got
to
the kingdoms of a
worthless
thing

as I have done unto
Samaria and her idols
, so do to Jerusalem and her idols

it shall
come to pass, that
when the Lord hath
performed
his whole
work upon
mount Zion and on
Jerusalem, I will
punish
the fruit of the stout
heart of the king of Assyria,
and the glory of his high
looks
.
And
it hath
come to pass, When the Lord doth
fulfil
all
His work In
mount Zion and in
Jerusalem, I see

Of
the
heart of the king of Asshur.

, By the strength
of my hand I have done
it
, and by my wisdom ;
for I am

and I have
removed
the
bounds
of the people
, and have
robbed
their treasures
, and I have
put down the inhabitants like
a
valiant
man:
For he hath
said
, `
By the power
of my hand I have wrought
, And by my wisdom ,

been
intelligent,
And I remove
borders
of the peoples
, And their chief
ones
I
have
spoiled
, And I put down as
a
mighty
one
the inhabitants ,
And my hand hath
found
as a nest the riches
of the people:
and as one
gathereth
eggs that
are
left,
have
I
gathered
all the earth ;
and there was
none
that
moved
the
wing, or opened
the
mouth, or peeped
.
And my hand as to
a nest Getteth
to
the wealth
of the peoples,
And as a
gathering
of
forsaken
eggs All the earth I
--
I
have
gathered,
And there hath
not
been
one
moving
wing, Or opening
mouth, or whispering
. '
Shall
the axe boast
itself against him that
heweth
therewith
? or
shall
the saw magnify itself against him that
shaketh
it? as if
the
rod should
shake
itself
against
them
that
lift
it up ,
or
as if
the
staff should
lift
up itself,
as
if
it
were
no
wood .
--
Doth
the axe glorify
itself Against him who
is
hewing
with
it
? Doth
the saw magnify itself Against him who
is
shaking
it? As a
rod waving
those
lifting
it up !
As a
staff lifting
up that
which
is
not
wood !

and they
shall
be
as when
a standard-bearer fainteth
.
And the honour
of his forest, and his fruitful field, From
soul even

be
few, that
a child
may
write them.

few, And
a youth
doth
write them.
