Isaiah 50

1 And the Assyrian shall fall by the sword not of a man, and the sword not of a man shall devour him, and he shall flee not at the face of the sword, and his young men shall be tributaries. 2 And his strength shall pass away with dread, and his princes fleeing shall be afraid: the Lord hath said it, whose fire is in Sion, and his furnace in Jerusalem. 4 Behold a king shall reign in justice, and princes shall rule in judgment. 5 And a man shall be as when one is hid from the wind, and hideth himself from a storm, as rivers of waters in drought, and the shadow of a rock that standeth out in a desert land. 6 The eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken diligently. 7 And the heart of fools shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of stammerers shall speak readily and plain. 8 The fool shall no more be called prince: neither shall the deceitful be called great: 9 For the fool will speak foolish things, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and speak to the Lord deceitfully, and to make empty the soul of the hungry, and take away drink from the thirsty. 10 The vessels of the deceitful are most wicked: for he hath framed devices to destroy the meek, with lying words, when the poor man speaketh judgment. 11 But the prince will devise such things as are worthy of a prince, and he shall stand above the rulers.
