Assyria » Prophecies concerning
Yahweh will bring upon thee and upon thy people, and upon the house of thy father, days which have not come, from the day when Ephraim departed from Judah, - even the king of Assyria. And it shall come to pass in that day that Yahweh will give a signal - To the fly that is in the uttermost part of the Nile-canals of Egypt, And to the bee that is in the land of Assyria. And they shall all of them come and settle down - In the desolate torrent-valleys, And in the rents of the crags, - And on all the thorn-bushes, And on all the pastures, read more.
In that day, will My Lord shave, with hired razor, even with them of the lands over the River Euphrates, with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet, - yea, even the beard, will it sweep off. And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall keep alive a young cow and two sheep. Yea it shall come to pass for the abundance of the yield of milk, that he shall eat curds, - for, curds and honey, shall every one eat that is left in the midst of the land. And it shall some to pass in that day, that, every place wherein there used to be a thousand vines at a thousand pieces of silver, - yea, even for briars and thorns, shall it be. With arrows and with a bow, shall one come in thither, - for briars and thorns, shall be all the land. But all the hills which, with the hoe, can be weeded, - there shall not come thither, the fear of briars anti thorns, - but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the tread of lesser cattle.

For before the boy shall have knowledge to cry, My father! and, My mother! the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried away before the king of Assyria. And again Yahweh spake unto me yet further saying: Because this people hath refused the waters of Shiloah which flow softly, - and are rejoicing with Rezin and the son of Remaliah, read more.
now therefore, lo! the Lord is about to bring up against them the waters, strong and many, of the River, even the king of Assyria and all his glory, - and he shall rise over all his channels, and flow over all his banks; and roll on throughout Judah - overflow and pass along, till unto the neck, he shall reach, - and it shall be, that, the stretching out of his wings, shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel! Rage, O ye peoples, - and be overthrown, And give ear, all ye distant parts of the earth, - Gird yourselves and be overthrown, Gird yourselves, and be overthrown: Determine a plan, - and it shall be frustrated, - Speak a word, and it shall not stand, For With-us-is-GOD!

Alas! for Assyria, the rod of mine anger, - Yea, the very staff in their hand, is, my displeasure: Against an irreligious nation, will I send him, Yea against the people with whom I am wroth, will I command him, - To capture spoil And lay hold on prey, And cause them to be trodden down as the mire of the lanes. But as for him, not so, doth he deem, And in his heart, not so, doth he think, - For, to destroy, is in his heart, And to cut off nations, not a few; read more.
For he saith: - Are not, my generals, all alike, kings? Is not, Calno, like Carchemish? Is not, Hamath, like Arpad? Is not, Samaria, like Damascus? As my hand hath reached unto the kingdoms of idols, - whose images did excel them of Jerusalem and Samaria, Shall I not as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so, do to Jerusalem and her images? Wherefore it shall come to pass - When My Lord shall finish his whole work upon Mount Zion and upon Jerusalem, I will bring punishment - Upon the fruit of the greatness of heart of the king of Assyria. And upon the vainglory of his uplifted eyes, For he hath said - By the strength of mine own hand, have I effectually wrought, And by my wisdom - for I have discernment, - That I might remove the bounds of peoples, Yea their treasures, have I plundered That I might lay prostrate as a mighty one the inhabitants; And my hand hath found as a nest the wealth of the peoples, And as the gathering of eggs that are forsaken, all the earth, have, I, gathered, - And there was none to flap a wing, or open a mouth or chirp. Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? Or, the saw, magnify itself, against him that wieldeth it? As if a rod, could wield, them who lift it up! As if a staff, could raise, what is, not wood! Therefore, shall the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, Send, among his fat ones, leanness, And under his glory, shall he kindle a kindling, like the kindling of fire; So shall, the Light of Israel, become, a fire, And his Holy One, a flame, Which shall burn and consume his thorns and his briars, in one day; And the glory of his forest and of his garden land, both soul and body, shall it bring to an end, - And it shall be like the wasting away of a consumptive. And, the remnant of his forest-trees, few in number, shall become, - yea, a child, might describe them! And it shall come to pass in that day, That the remnant of Israel. And the escaped of the house of Jacob Shall, no more again, lean upon him that smote them, - But shall lean upon Yahweh the Holy One of Israel, in truth. A remnant, shall return, The remnant of Jacob, - unto the mighty GOD; For though thy people, O Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, A mere remnant, shall return of them, - A full end decreed, bringeth in, justice, like a flood; For, a full end and that a decreed one, is My Lord Yahweh of hosts executing in the midst of all the earth. Therefore, thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, Do not fear O my people dwelling in Zion, because of Assyria, - When with his rod, he would smite thee, And when his staff, he would lift up against thee in the manner of Egypt; For, yet a very little while, and displeasure shall end, Yea, mine anger, over their destruction. And Yahweh of hosts, will brandish over him, a scourge - Like the smiting of Midian at the rock Oreb, - And his staff being over the sea, He will lift it up in the manner of Egypt; And it shall come to pass, in that day, That his burden shall remove from off thy shoulder, And his yoke from off thy neck, - Yea, the yoke shall be broken because of fatness. He hath come in unto Ayyath, Hath passed through Migron, - At Michmash, storeth his baggage: They have passed over the pare, Geba is his halting-place, - Terror-stricken is Ramah, Gibeah of Saul, hath fled! Make shrill thy voice, O daughter of Gallim! Hearken, O Laishah, Answer, O Anathoth! Madmenah, hath fled, - The inhabitants of Gebim, have gone into safety: While yet to-day, in Nob, he tarrieth, He brandisheth his hand toward The mount of the daughter of Zion, The hill of Jerusalem. Behold! the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, is about to lop off a tree-crown, with a crash, - Then shall, they who are lifted on high, be hewn down, And, the lofty, be laid low; Then will he fell the thickets of the forest with iron, - And, Lebanon by a majestic one shall fall.
