30.26 :And healeth the stroke of their wound.


 * Behold, the name of the cometh from far,
 * With His anger burning, and in thick uplifting of smoke;
 * His lips are full of indignation,
 * And His tongue is as a devouring fire;
 * And His breath is as an overflowing stream,
 * That divideth even unto the neck,
 * To sift the nations with the sieve of destruction;
 * And a bridle that causeth to err shall be in the jaws of the peoples.
 * Ye shall have a song
 * As in the night when a feast is hallowed;
 * And gladness of heart, as when one goeth with the pipe
 * To come into the mountain of the, to the Rock of Israel.
 * And the will cause His glorious voice to be heard,
 * And will show the lighting down of His arm,
 * With furious anger, and the flame of a devouring fire,
 * With a bursting of clouds, and a storm of rain, and hailstones.
 * For through the voice of the shall Asshur be dismayed,
 * The rod with which He smote.
 * And in every place where the appointed staff shall pass,
 * Which the shall lay upon him,
 * It shall be with tabrets and harps;
 * And in battles of wielding will He fight with them.
 * For a hearth is ordered of old;
 * Yea, for the king it is prepared,
 * Deep and large;
 * The pile thereof is fire and much wood;
 * The breath of the, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.


 * Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help,
 * And rely on horses,
 * And trust in chariots, because they are many,
 * And in horsemen, because they are exceeding mighty;
 * But they look not unto the Holy One of Israel,
 * Neither seek the !
 * Yet He also is wise,
 * And bringeth evil,
 * And doth not call back His words;
 * But will arise against the house of the evil-doers,
 * And against the help of them that work iniquity.
 * Now the Egyptians are men, and not God,
 * And their horses flesh, and not spirit;
 * So when the shall stretch out His hand,
 * Both he that helpeth shall stumble, and he that is helped shall fall,
 * And they all shall perish together.


 * For thus saith the unto me:
 * Like as the lion, or the young lion, growling over his prey,
 * Though a multitude of shepherds be called forth against him,
 * Will not be dismayed at their voice,
 * Nor abase himself for the noise of them;
 * So will the of hosts come down
 * To fight upon mount Zion, and upon the hill thereof.
 * As birds hovering,
 * So will the of hosts protect Jerusalem;
 * He will deliver it as He protecteth it,
 * He will rescue it as He passeth over.
