assyrian O {Assyrian}, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation. assyrian Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the {Assyrian}: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt. assyrian That I will break the {Assyrian} in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders. assyrian In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the {Assyrian} shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. assyrian Behold the land of the Chaldeans; this people was not, [till] the {Assyrian} founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness: they set up the towers thereof, they raised up the palaces thereof; [and] he brought it to ruin. assyrian For through the voice of the LORD shall the {Assyrian} be beaten down, [which] smote with a rod. assyrian Then shall the {Assyrian} fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited. assyrian For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the {Assyrian} oppressed them without cause. assyrian Behold, the {Assyrian} [was] a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs. assyrian When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah [saw] his wound, then went Ephraim to the {Assyrian}, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound. assyrian He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the {Assyrian} shall be his king, because they refused to return. assyrian And this [man] shall be the peace, when the {Assyrian} shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men. assyrian And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver [us] from the {Assyrian}, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders. ~~~~~~
