Isaiah 5:25-30

25Therefore ^athe anger of the Lord was kindled against his people,
and he stretched out his hand against them and struck them,
and ^bthe mountains quaked;
and their corpses were ^cas refuse
in the midst of the streets.
^dFor all this his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is stretched out still.
26 He will ^eraise a signal for nations far away,
and ^fwhistle for them ^gfrom the ends of the earth;
and behold, quickly, speedily they come!
27 ^hNone is weary, none stumbles,
none slumbers or sleeps,
not a waistband is loose,
not a sandal strap broken;
28 ⁱtheir arrows are sharp,
all their bows bent,
their horses’ hoofs seem like flint,
and their wheels ^jlike the whirlwind.
29Their roaring is like a lion,
like young lions they roar;
they growl and ^kseize their prey;
they carry it off, and none can rescue.
30They will growl over it on that day,
like the growling of the sea.
And if one looks to the land,
behold, ^ldarkness and distress;
and the light is darkened by its clouds.

Isaiah 10:5-6

Judgment on Arrogant Assyria

5 Woe to Assyria, ^mthe rod of my anger;
the staff in their hands is my fury!
6Against a ⁿgodless nation I send him,
and against the people of my wrath I command him,
to take ^ospoil and seize plunder,
and to ^ptread them down like the mire of the streets.

Isaiah 10:32

32This very day he will halt at ^qNob;
he will shake his fist
at the mount of ^rthe daughter of Zion,
the hill of Jerusalem.

Isaiah 17:14

14 ^sAt 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 24:1-12

Judgment on the Whole Earth

1 Behold, ^tthe Lord will empty the earth ▼

▼Or land; also throughout this chapter

and make it desolate,
and he will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants.
2 ^vAnd it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest;
as with the slave, so with his master;
as with the maid, so with her mistress;
^was with the buyer, so with the seller;
as with the lender, so with the borrower;
^xas with the creditor, so with the debtor.
3 ^yThe earth shall be utterly empty and utterly plundered;
^zfor the Lord has spoken this word.
4 ^aaThe earth mourns and withers;
the world languishes and withers;
the highest people of the earth languish.
5The earth lies ^abdefiled
under its inhabitants;
for ^acthey have transgressed the laws,
violated the statutes,
broken the everlasting covenant.
6Therefore ^ada curse devours the earth,
and its inhabitants ^aesuffer for their guilt;
therefore the inhabitants of the earth are scorched,
and few men are left.
7 ^afThe wine mourns,
the vine languishes,
all the merry-hearted sigh.
8 ^agThe mirth of the tambourines is stilled,
the noise of the jubilant has ceased,
the mirth of the lyre is stilled.
9No more do they drink wine ^ahwith singing;
strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.
10 ^aiThe wasted city is broken down;
^ajevery house is shut up so that none can enter.
11 ^akThere is an outcry in the streets for lack of wine;
^alall joy has grown dark;
the gladness of the earth is banished.
12Desolation is left in the city;
the gates are battered into ruins.

Isaiah 33:7-9

7 Behold, their heroes cry in the streets;
^amthe envoys of peace weep bitterly.
8 ^anThe highways lie waste;
the traveler ceases.
^aoCovenants are broken;
cities ▼

▼Masoretic Text; Dead Sea Scroll witnesses

are despised;
there is no regard for man.
9 ^aqThe land mourns and languishes;
Lebanon is confounded and withers away;
Sharon is like a desert,
and Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.

Isaiah 36:22

22 ^arThen Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the secretary, and Joah the son of Asaph, the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of the Rabshakeh.

Isaiah 37:3

3They said to him, “Thus says Hezekiah, ‘This day is a ^asday of distress, of rebuke, and of disgrace; ^atchildren have come to the point of birth, and there is no strength to bring them forth.
