⁹ And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down down like the mire of the streets.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: even of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies shall not be so.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kir-hareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are stricken.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, tablets, and the earrings,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ The rings, and nose jewels,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Wherefore 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, and that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.
