I will stand up against them, sayeth the LORD of Hosts, and root out the name and generation of Babylon, sayeth the LORD, and will give it to the Otters, and will make water puddles of it. and I will sweep them out with the broom of destruction, sayeth the LORD of Hosts. The LORD of Hosts hath sworn an oath, saying: It shall come to pass as I have determined, and shall be fulfilled as I have devised. The Assyrians shall be destroyed in my land, and upon my mountains will I tread them under foot. Wherethrough his yoke shall come from you, and his burden shall be taken from your shoulders. This device hath God taken through the whole world, and thus is his hand stretched out over all people. For if the LORD of Hosts determine a thing, who will disannul it? And if he stretch forth his hand, who will hold it in again? The same year that king Ahaz died, God threatened by Isaiah on this manner: Rejoice not, thou whole Philistia, as though the rod of him that beateth thee were broken: For out of the serpent's root, there shall come an adder, and the fruit shall be a fiery worm. But the poor shall feed of the best things, and the simple shall dwell in safety. Thy roots will I destroy with hunger, and it shall slay thy remnant. Mourn, ye ports; weep, ye cities; and fear thou, O whole Philistia, for there shall come from the North a smoke, whose power no man may abide. Who shall then maintain the messages of the Gentiles? But the LORD establisheth Zion, and the poor of my people shall put their trust in him.
