THE LORD'S Anger Against Israel

       THE LORD has sent a message against Jacob;
          it will fall on Israel.
       All the people will know it--
          Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria--
       who say with pride
          and arrogance of heart,
       "The bricks have fallen down,
          but we will rebuild with dressed stone;
       the fig trees have been felled,
          but we will replace them with cedars."
       But THE LORD has strengthened Rezin's foes against them
          and has spurred their enemies on.
       Arameans from the east and Philistines from the west
          have devoured Israel with open mouth.

       Yet for all this, HIS anger is not turned away,
          HIS hand is still upraised.

       But the people have not returned to HIM who struck them,
          nor have they sought THE LORD ALMIGHTY.
       So THE LORD will cut off from Israel both head and tail,
          both palm branch and reed in a single day;
       the elders and prominent men are the head,
          the prophets who teach lies are the tail.
       Those who guide this people mislead them,
          and those who are guided are led astray.
       Therefore THE LORD will take no pleasure in the young men,
          nor will HE pity the fatherless and widows,
       for everyone is ungodly and wicked,
          every mouth speaks vileness.

      Yet for all this, HIS anger is not turned away,
          HIS hand is still upraised.

       Surely wickedness burns like a fire;
          it consumes briers and thorns,
       it sets the forest thickets ablaze,
          so that it rolls upward in a column of smoke.
       By the wrath of THE LORD ALMIGHTY
          the land will be scorched
       and the people will be fuel for the fire;
          no one will spare his brother.
       On the right they will devour,
          but still be hungry;
       on the left they will eat,
          but not be satisfied.
       Each will feed on the flesh of his own offspring:
          Manasseh will feed on Ephraim, and Ephraim on Manasseh;
          together they will turn against Judah.

       Yet for all this, HIS anger is not turned away,
          HIS hand is still upraised.

       Woe to those who make unjust laws,
          to those who issue oppressive decrees,
       to deprive the poor of their rights
          and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people,
       making widows their prey
          and robbing the fatherless.
       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?
       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.


The Book of Isaiah: chapter 9, verses 8 - 21 & chapter 10, verses 1 - 4
