16. Therefore shall HaAdon Hashem Tzva'os send among his fat ones leanness; and instead of his kavod there will be kindled a burning like the blazing of eish.
17. And the Ohr Yisroel shall become an eish, and His Kadosh a flame; and shall burn and consume its thistles and its thorns in Yom Echad;
18. And shall consume the kavod of his forest and his fertile land, even to nefesh and basar; and shall be as a sick man wasting away.
19. And the remnant of the etz of his forest shall be few, that a na'ar could record them.
20. And it shall come to pass in Yom Hahu, that the remnant of Yisroel, and such as are escaped of Bais Ya'akov, shall no longer lean upon him that smote them; but shall lean upon Hashem Kadosh Yisroel be'emes.
21. The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Ya'akov, unto El Gibbor [See Isaiah 9:5(6)].
22. For though thy people Yisroel be like the chol hayam, only a remnant of them shall return; destruction is decreed, overwhelming tzedakah.
23. For Adonoi Hashem Tzva'os shall carry out kalah (destruction) decreed, even upon the kol ha'aretz.
24. Therefore thus saith Adonoi Hashem Tzva'os, O My people that dwellest in Tziyon, be not afraid of Ashur; if he strike thee with the shevet, and lift his matteh against thee, in the manner of Mitzrayim.
25. For yet a very little while, and the za'am (anger, indignation) shall pass, and Mine wrath turn for their destruction.
26. And Hashem Tzva'os shall stir up a shot (whip) for him as when He struck down Midyan at the Tzur Orev; and as His matteh was over the yam, so shall He raise it after the manner of Mitzrayim.
27. And it shall come to pass in Yom Hahu, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his ol from off thy neck, and the ol shall be broken from fatness.
28. He comes to Ayat, passes through Migron; at Michmash he hath left his supplies;
29. They are crossing the pass; they have taken up their lodging at Geva; Ramah is afraid; Givat-Sha'ul has fled.
30. Lift up thy voice, O Bat-Gallim; Listen O Layish, O poor Anatot.
31. Madmenah hurries away; the inhabitants of Gevim gather themselves to flee.
32. As yet shall he remain at Nov this very day; he shall shake his fist against the Har Bat Tziyon, the Givat Yerushalayim.
