“ Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger And the staff in whose hand is My indignation.

亚述是我怒气的棍，手中拿我恼恨的杖。

祸哉！亚述，我怒气的棍！他们手中的杖是我的恼恨。

祸哉！亚述，我怒气的棍！他们手中的杖是我的恼恨。

耶和华说：“亚述王有祸了！他是我的愤怒之棍，他手中拿着我发烈怒的杖。

亚述啊！我怒气的棍子，有祸了。他们手中拿着我忿怒的杖。

祸哉！亚述，我怒气的棍！他们手中的杖就是我的愤怒。

亞述是我怒氣的棍，手中拿我惱恨的杖。

禍哉！亞述，我怒氣的棍！他們手中的杖是我的惱恨。

禍哉！亞述，我怒氣的棍！他們手中的杖是我的惱恨。

耶和華說：「亞述王有禍了！他是我的憤怒之棍，他手中拿著我發烈怒的杖。

亞述啊！我怒氣的棍子，有禍了。他們手中拿著我忿怒的杖。

有禍呀，亞述，我怒氣的棍子！他是我忿怒之杖、在我手中。

禍哉！亞述，我怒氣的棍！他們手中的杖就是我的憤怒。

亞述為我震怒之梃、其手所持、乃我忿恚之杖、

我震怒斯民、使亞述人、為杖箠以擊之、亞述人亦有禍矣、

亞述人必受禍、我怒如梃、我忿猶杖、為其手所執、

“ Woe to the Assyrian, the rod of my anger, in whose hand is the club of my wrath!

The Lord says,“ How terrible it will be for the people of Assyria! They are the war club that carries out my anger.

Woe to Assyria, the rod of my anger; the staff in their hands is my fury!

“ What sorrow awaits Assyria, the rod of my anger. I use it as a club to express my anger.

Woe to Assyria, the rod of my anger— the staff in their hands is my wrath.

Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger And the staff in whose hands is My indignation,

Ho Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, the staff in whose hand is mine indignation!

Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger— the staff in their hands is My wrath.

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

Assyria, the club I use to vent my anger, is as good as dead, a cudgel with which I angrily punish.

Alas Assyrian, the rod of my anger, the staff in whose hand is my indignation!

Shall the ax boast itself against him who chops with it? Or shall the saw exalt itself against him who saws with it? As if a rod could wield itself against those who lift it up, Or as if a staff could lift up, as if it were not wood!

That I will break the Assyrian in My land, And on My mountains tread him underfoot. Then his yoke shall be removed from them, And his burden removed from their shoulders.

And He will stretch out His hand against the north, Destroy Assyria, And make Nineveh a desolation, As dry as the wilderness.

When you see this, your heart shall rejoice, And your bones shall flourish like grass; The hand of the Lord shall be known to His servants, And His indignation to His enemies.

The Lord will cause His glorious voice to be heard, And show the descent of His arm, With the indignation of His anger And the flame of a devouring fire, With scattering, tempest, and hailstones.

“ You are My battle-ax and weapons of war: For with you I will break the nation in pieces; With you I will destroy kingdoms;With you I will break in pieces the horse and its rider; With you I will break in pieces the chariot and its rider;With you also I will break in pieces man and woman; With you I will break in pieces old and young; With you I will break in pieces the young man and the maiden;With you also I will break in pieces the shepherd and his flock; With you I will break in pieces the farmer and his yoke of oxen; And with you I will break in pieces governors and rulers.“ And I will repay Babylon And all the inhabitants of Chaldea For all the evil they have done In Zion in your sight,” says the Lord.

They come from a far country, From the end of heaven— The Lord and His weapons of indignation, To destroy the whole land.

For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest On the land allotted to the righteous, Lest the righteous reach out their hands to iniquity.

With Your hand from men, O Lord, From men of the world who have their portion in this life, And whose belly You fill with Your hidden treasure. They are satisfied with children, And leave the rest of their possession for their babes.

The Lord has broken the staff of the wicked, The scepter of the rulers;He who struck the people in wrath with a continual stroke, He who ruled the nations in anger, Is persecuted and no one hinders.

for before the child shall have knowledge to cry‘ My father’ and‘ My mother,’ the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria will be taken away before the king of Assyria.”

From that land he went to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,
