Isa 10:8-15, 32-34, 13:11, 14:10-16, 17:12-14, 30:30-33, 49:25-26 | ESV | STEP | for he says : Are not my commanders all kings ?

8 for he says:
^a“Are not my commanders all kings?
9 ^bIs not ^cCalno like ^dCarchemish?
Is not ^eHamath like ^fArpad?
^gIs not ^hSamaria like Damascus?
10 As my hand has reached to ⁱthe kingdoms of the idols,
whose carved images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11 shall I not do to Jerusalem and ^jher idols
^kas I have done to Samaria and her images?”
12 ^lWhen the Lord has finished all his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, ^mhe ^{▼▼Hebrew I} will punish the speech of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and the boastful look in his eyes. 13 ^oFor he says:

“By the strength of my hand I have done it,
and by my wisdom, for I have understanding;
I remove the boundaries of peoples,
and plunder their treasures;
like a bull I bring down those who sit on thrones.
14 My 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 the mouth or chirped.”
15 Shall ^pthe axe boast over him who hews with it,
or the saw magnify itself against him who wields it?
As if a rod should wield him who lifts it,
or as if a staff should lift him who is not wood!

Isaiah 10:32-34

32 This very day he will halt at ^qNob;
he will shake his fist
at the mount of ^rthe daughter of Zion,
the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Behold, the Lord God of hosts
^swill lop ^tthe boughs with terrifying power;
the great in height will be hewn down,
and the lofty will be brought low.
34 He will cut down ^uthe thickets of the forest with an axe,
and ^vLebanon will fall by the Majestic One.

Isaiah 13:11

11 I will punish ^wthe world for its evil,
and the wicked for their iniquity;
I will ^xput an end to the pomp of the arrogant,
^yand lay low the pompous pride of the ruthless.

Isaiah 14:10-16

10 ^zAll of them will answer
and say to you:
‘You too have become as weak as we!
You have become like us!’
11 Your pomp is brought down to Sheol,
the sound of your harps;
maggots are laid as a bed beneath you,
and worms are your covers.
12 “How ^aayou are fallen from heaven,
O Day Star, ^abson of Dawn!
How you are cut down to the ground,
you who laid the nations low!
13 You said in your heart,
^ac‘I will ascend to heaven;
above the stars of God
^adI will set my throne on high;
I will sit on the mount of assembly
in the far reaches of the north; ^{▼▼Or in the remote parts of Zaphon}
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.’
15 ^afBut you are brought down to Sheol,
to the far reaches of the pit.
16 Those who see you will stare at you
and ponder over you:
‘Is this ^agthe man who made the earth tremble,
who shook kingdoms,

Isaiah 17:12-14

12 Ah, ^ahthe thunder of many peoples;
they thunder like the thundering of the sea!
Ah, the roar of nations;
they roar like the roaring of mighty waters!
13 ^aiThe nations roar like the roaring of many waters,
^ajbut he will rebuke them, and they will flee far away,
chased ^aklike chaff on the mountains before the wind
and ^alwhirling dust before the storm.
14 ^amAt evening time, behold, terror!
Before morning, they are no more!
This is the portion of those who loot us,
and the lot of those who plunder us.

Isaiah 30:30-33

30 And the Lord ^anwill cause his majestic voice to be heard and the descending blow of his arm to be seen, in furious anger ^aoand a flame of devouring fire, with a cloudburst ^apand storm and hailstones. 31 The Assyrians will be terror-stricken at the voice of the Lord, ^aqwhen he strikes with his rod. 32 And every stroke of the appointed staff that the Lord lays on them ^arwill be to the sound of tambourines and lyres. ^asBattling with brandished arm, he will fight with them. 33 For ^ata burning place ^{▼▼Or For Topheth} has long been prepared; indeed, for the king it is made ready, ^avits pyre made deep and wide, with fire and wood in abundance; ^awthe breath of the Lord, like a stream of sulfur, kindles it.

Isaiah 49:25-26

25 For thus says the Lord:
^ax“Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken,
and the prey of the tyrant be rescued,
for I will contend with those who contend with you,
and I will save your children.
26 ^ayI will make your oppressors eat their own flesh,
and they shall be drunk ^azwith their own blood as with wine.
Then all flesh shall know
that ^baI am the Lord your Savior,
and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
