Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

23 And I will make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water; and I will sweep it away with the besom of destruction, ’the LORD of Hosts.

[*](12. Or, ‘overpower,’ ‘discomfit the nations.’)[*](21 ﬁn. Or, ‘heaps’ (of ruin); some render ‘enaemies.’)

24 The LORD of Hosts hath- Sworn, saying, Surely as I have planned, so shall it be, and as I have purposed, that shall stand:

25 To break Asshur in my land, and on my mountains I will trample him; and his yoke shall remove from off them, and his burden shall remove from off his shoulder.

26 This is the purpose which is purposed upon the whole earth; and this the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.

27 For the LORD of Hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his is the outstretched hand, and who shall turn it back?

28 In the year of the death of king Ahaz was this burden.
