The Fall of Israel
6In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria gcaptured Samaria, hand he carried the Israelites away to Assyria iand placed them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of jGozan, and in the cities of kthe Medes.Isaiah 7:20
20In that day lthe Lord will mshave with a razor that is nhired beyond othe River—with the king of Assyria—the head and the hair of the feet, and it will sweep away the beard also.Isaiah 8:4-8
4 pfor before the boy knows how to cry ‘My father’ or ‘My mother,’ the qwealth of rDamascus and the spoil of sSamaria will be carried away before the king of Assyria.”5The Lord spoke to me again: 6“Because this people has refused the waters of tShiloah that flow gently, and rejoice over uRezin and the son of Remaliah, 7therefore, behold, the Lord is bringing up against them vthe waters of wthe River, mighty and many, the king of Assyria and all his glory. And it xwill rise over all its channels and go over all its banks, 8and it will sweep on into Judah, it will overflow and pass on, yreaching even to the neck, and its zoutspread wings will fill the breadth of your land, aaO Immanuel.”
Isaiah 10:5-6
Judgment on Arrogant Assyria
5 Woe to Assyria, abthe rod of my anger;the staff in their hands is my fury!
6Against a acgodless nation I send him,
and against the people of my wrath I command him,
to take adspoil and seize plunder,
and to aetread them down like the mire of the streets.
Jeremiah 5:15-17
15 afBehold, I am bringing against youa nation from afar, O house of Israel,
declares the Lord.
It is an enduring nation;
it is an ancient nation,
a nation whose language you do not know,
agnor can you understand what they say.
16 ahTheir quiver is like aian open tomb;
they are all mighty warriors.
17 ajThey shall eat up your harvest and your food;
they shall eat up your sons and your daughters;
they shall eat up your flocks and your herds;
they shall eat up your vines and your fig trees;
your akfortified cities in which you trust
they shall beat down with the sword.”
Hosea 10:5
5The inhabitants of Samaria tremblefor althe calf ▼
▼Or calves
of anBeth-aven.Its people mourn for it, and so do its idolatrous priests—
those who rejoiced over it and aoover its glory—
for it has departed ▼
▼Or has gone into exile
from them.
