Isaiah 13:11

A man’s pride brings him low, but one of lowly spirit gains honor.

“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth.”

Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be above all the earth!

By the breath of God they perish. By the blast of his anger are they consumed.

If I am wicked, woe to me. If I am righteous, I still will not lift up my head, being filled with disgrace, and conscious of my affliction.

He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”

For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me,

He said to Korah and to all his company, “In the morning, Yahweh will show who are his, and who is holy, and will cause him to come near to him. Even him whom he shall choose, he will cause to come near to him.

For you will save the afflicted people, but the arrogant eyes you will bring down.

If only you, God, would kill the wicked. Get away from me, you bloodthirsty men!

His breath is as an overflowing stream that reaches even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction. A bridle that leads to ruin will be in the jaws of the peoples.

He has made my mouth like a sharp sword. He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand. He has made me a polished shaft. He has kept me close in his quiver.

The Lord Yahweh’s Spirit is on me, because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to those who are bound,

For, behold, Yahweh comes out of his place, and will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.

Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth, and destroy by the manifestation of his coming;

Those of you who are left will pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers they shall pine away with them.

Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be removed with sacrifice or offering forever.”

You will save the afflicted people, But your eyes are on the arrogant, that you may bring them down.

God who is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who has hardened himself against him and prospered?

“Earth, don’t cover my blood. Let my cry have no place to rest.

Pour out the fury of your anger. Look at everyone who is proud, and bring him low.

You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”

He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, and will break the oppressor in pieces.

There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes! Their eyelids are lifted up.

Man is brought low, and mankind is humbled; therefore don’t forgive them.

In my ears, Yahweh of Armies says: “Surely many houses will be desolate, even great and beautiful, unoccupied.

Therefore Yahweh’s anger burns against his people, and he has stretched out his hand against them and has struck them. The mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the middle of the streets. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is still stretched out.

In that day you will say, “Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name. Declare his doings among the peoples. Proclaim that his name is exalted!

This is the plan that is determined for the whole earth. This is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.

For Yahweh said to me, “I will be still, and I will see in my dwelling place, like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”

Yahweh of Armies has planned it, to stain the pride of all glory, to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.

It will happen in that day that Yahweh will punish the army of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth on the earth.

though hail flattens the forest, and the city is leveled completely.

“I have trodden the wine press alone. Of the peoples, no one was with me. Yes, I trod them in my anger and trampled them in my wrath. Their lifeblood is sprinkled on my garments, and I have stained all my clothing.

But everyone will die for his own iniquity. Every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth will be set on edge.

“ ‘ “In your filthiness is lewdness. Because I have cleansed you and you weren’t cleansed, you won’t be cleansed from your filthiness any more, until I have caused my wrath toward you to rest.

He will tread down all your streets with the hoofs of his horses. He will kill your people with the sword. The pillars of your strength will go down to the ground.

They are feared and dreaded. Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.

that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar.

throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

With the blast of your nostrils, the waters were piled up. The floods stood upright as a heap. The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.

Therefore you and all your company have gathered together against Yahweh! What is Aaron that you complain against him?”

But if you keep doing evil, you will be consumed, both you and your king.”

But if they don’t listen, they will perish by the sword; they will die without knowledge.

“Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it.”

Or do you have an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him?

Then he will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath:

to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more.

arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,

The king who fairly judges the poor, his throne shall be established forever.

But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he lengthen days like a shadow, because he doesn’t fear God.

The lofty looks of man will be brought low, the arrogance of men will be bowed down, and Yahweh alone will be exalted in that day.

Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on David’s throne, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. The zeal of Yahweh of Armies will perform this.

A throne will be established in loving kindness. One will sit on it in truth, in the tent of David, judging, seeking justice, and swift to do righteousness.

We have heard of the pride of Moab, that he is very proud; even of his arrogance, his pride, and his wrath. His boastings are nothing.

But now Yahweh has spoken, saying, “Within three years, as a worker bound by contract would count them, the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude; and the remnant will be very small and feeble.”

Therefore a strong people will glorify you. A city of awesome nations will fear you.

The humble also will increase their joy in Yahweh, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

For through Yahweh’s voice the Assyrian will be dismayed. He will strike him with his rod.

For his burning place has long been ready. Yes, for the king it is prepared. He has made its pyre deep and large with fire and much wood. Yahweh’s breath, like a stream of sulfur, kindles it.

Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice.

For Yahweh is our judge. Yahweh is our lawgiver. Yahweh is our king. He will save us.

“There is no peace”, says Yahweh, “for the wicked.”

But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it can’t rest and its waters cast up mire and mud.

“In those days and at that time, I will cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up to David. He will execute justice and righteousness in the land.

When I tell the wicked, ‘You will surely die;’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; that wicked man will die in his iniquity; but I will require his blood at your hand.

Therefore speak to them, and tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Every man of the house of Israel who takes his idols into his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet; I Yahweh will answer him therein according to the multitude of his idols;

I, Yahweh, have spoken it. It will happen, and I will do it. I won’t go back. I won’t spare. I won’t repent. According to your ways, and according to your doings, they will judge you,” says the Lord Yahweh.’ ”

When I tell the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ and you don’t speak to warn the wicked from his way; that wicked man will die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at your hand.

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those who walk in pride he is able to abase.

Then they will cry to Yahweh, but he will not answer them. Yes, he will hide his face from them at that time, because they made their deeds evil.”

“In that day,” says Yahweh, “I will assemble that which is lame, and I will gather that which is driven away, and that which I have afflicted;

Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword, that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He treads the wine press of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.

It shall happen that the rod of the man whom I shall choose shall bud. I will make the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you, cease from me.”

Look at everyone who is proud, and humble him. Crush the wicked in their place.

The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the arrogance of men shall be brought low; and Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day.

Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them; for the deeds of his hands will be paid back to him.

So man is brought low, mankind is humbled, and the eyes of the arrogant ones are humbled;

but he will judge the poor with righteousness, and decide with equity for the humble of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips he will kill the wicked.

Prepare for slaughter of his children because of the iniquity of their fathers, that they not rise up and possess the earth, and fill the surface of the world with cities.

Yahweh of Armies revealed himself in my ears, “Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die,” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.

As the heat in a dry place you will bring down the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the dreaded ones will be brought low.

He will spread out his hands in the middle of it, like one who swims spreads out hands to swim, but his pride will be humbled together with the craft of his hands.

For he has brought down those who dwell on high, the lofty city. He lays it low. He lays it low even to the ground. He brings it even to the dust.

For, behold, Yahweh comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain.

I have laid a snare for you, and you are also taken, Babylon, and you weren’t aware. You are found, and also caught, because you have fought against Yahweh.
