To whom will you flee for help,     and where will you leave your wealth, 4so as not to crouch among the prisoners     or fall among the slain? For all this his anger has not turned away;     his hand is stretched out still.</div> <h3>Arrogant Assyria Also Judged</h3><div class="poetry">5Ah, Assyria, the rod of my anger—     the club in their hands is my fury! 6Against a godless nation I send him,     and against the people of my wrath I command him, to take spoil and seize plunder,     and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. 7But this is not what he intends,     nor does he have this in mind; but it is in his heart to destroy,     and to cut off nations not a few. 8For he says: “Are not my commanders all kings? 9Is not Calno like Carchemish?     Is not Hamath like Arpad?     Is not Samaria like Damascus? 10As my hand has reached to the kingdoms of the idols     whose images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria, 11shall I not do to Jerusalem and her idols     what I have done to Samaria and her images?”</div> 12When the Lord has finished all his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, hea</a>]'>[<a href="#fen" xtitle="See footnote a">a</a>] will punish the arrogant boasting of the king of Assyria and his haughty pride. 13For he says:<div class="poetry">“By the strength of my hand I have done it,     and by my wisdom, for I have understanding; I have removed the boundaries of peoples,     and have plundered their treasures;     like a bull I have brought down those who sat on thrones. 14My hand has found, like a nest,     the wealth of the peoples; and as one gathers eggs that have been forsaken,     so I have gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved a wing,     or opened its mouth, or chirped.”</div> <div class="poetry top-1">15Shall the ax vaunt itself over the one who wields it,     or the saw magnify itself against the one who handles it? As if a rod should raise the one who lifts it up,     or as if a staff should lift the one who is not wood! 16Therefore the Sovereign, the Lord of hosts,     will send wasting sickness among his stout warriors, and under his glory a burning will be kindled,     like the burning of fire. 17The light of Israel will become a fire,     and his Holy One a flame; and it will burn and devour     his thorns and briers in one day. 18The glory of his forest and his fruitful land     the Lord will destroy, both soul and body,     and it will be as when an invalid wastes away. 19The remnant of the trees of his forest will be so few     that a child can write them down.</div> <h3>The Repentant Remnant of Israel</h3>20On that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no more lean on the one who struck them, but will lean on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. 21A remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God. 22For though your people Israel were like the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will return.
