14 aMy hand has found like a nest the riches of the people,
And as one gathers eggs that are left,
I have gathered all the earth;
And there was no one who moved his wing,
Nor opened his mouth with even a peep.”
And as one gathers eggs that are left,
I have gathered all the earth;
And there was no one who moved his wing,
Nor opened his mouth with even a peep.”
15 Shall athe ax boast itself against him who chops with it?
Or shall the saw exalt itself against him who saws with it?
As if a rod could wield itself against those who lift it up,
Or as if a staff could lift up, as if it were not wood!
Or shall the saw exalt itself against him who saws with it?
As if a rod could wield itself against those who lift it up,
Or as if a staff could lift up, as if it were not wood!
16 Therefore the Lord, the1 Lord of hosts,
Will send leanness among his fat ones;
And under his glory
He will kindle a burning
Like the burning of a fire.
Will send leanness among his fat ones;
And under his glory
He will kindle a burning
Like the burning of a fire.
17 So the Light of Israel will be for a fire,
And his Holy One for a flame;
aIt will burn and devour
His thorns and his briers in one day.
And his Holy One for a flame;
aIt will burn and devour
His thorns and his briers in one day.
18 And it will consume the glory of his forest and of ahis fruitful field,
Both soul and body;
And they will be as when a sick man wastes away.
Both soul and body;
And they will be as when a sick man wastes away.
The Returning Remnant of Israel
20 And it shall come to pass in that day
That the remnant of Israel,
And such as have escaped of the house of Jacob,
aWill never again depend on him who1 defeated them,
But will depend on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
That the remnant of Israel,
And such as have escaped of the house of Jacob,
aWill never again depend on him who1 defeated them,
But will depend on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
