Isaiah 10:33–11:1

33 See, the Lord, the Lord Almighty,

will lop off the boughs with great power.

The lofty trees will be felled,

the tall ones will be brought low.

34 He will cut down the forest thickets with an ax;

Lebanon will fall before the Mighty One.

1 A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse;

from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.

33 Behold, the Lord God of hosts

will lop the boughs with terrifying power;

the great in height will be hewn down,

and the lofty will be brought low.

34 He will cut down the thickets of the forest with an axe,

and Lebanon will fall by the Majestic One.

1 There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse,

and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.

33 But look! The Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,

will chop down the mighty tree of Assyria with great power!

He will cut down the proud.

That lofty tree will be brought down.

34 He will cut down the forest trees with an ax.

Lebanon will fall to the Mighty One.

1 Out of the stump of David’s family will grow a shoot—

yes, a new Branch bearing fruit from the old root.

33 Behold, the Lord,

The Lord of hosts,

Will lop off the bough with terror;

Those of high stature will be hewn down,

And the haughty will be humbled.

34 He will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron,

And Lebanon will fall by the Mighty One.

1 There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse,

And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.

33 Watch! The Lord God All-Powerful

with his great power will chop them down like a great tree.

Those who are great will be cut down;

those who are important will fall to the ground.

34 He will cut them down

as a forest is cut down with an ax.

And the great trees of Lebanon

will fall by the power of the Mighty One.

1 A new branch will grow

from a stump of a tree;

so a new king will come

from the family of Jesse.

33 Behold, the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, will lop the boughs with terror: and the high of stature shall be hewn down, and the lofty shall be brought low. 34 And he will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.

1 And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots shall bear fruit.

33 Behold the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, shall lop the boughs with violence; and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be brought low; 34 and he shall make clearings in the thickets of the forest with iron; and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.

1 And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots shall be fruitful;

33 Now look! The Almighty Lord of Armies 

will trim the branches with terrifying power. 

The highest trees will be cut down. 

The tallest ones will be brought down. 

34 He will cut down the underbrush of the forest with an ax. 

Lebanon will fall in front of the Mighty One. 

1 Then a shoot will come out from the stump of Jesse, 

and a branch from its roots will bear fruit. 

33 Look, the Lord God of Hosts

will chop off the branches with terrifying power,

and the tall trees will be cut down,

the high trees felled.

34 He is clearing the thickets of the forest with an ax,

and Lebanon with its majesty will fall.

1 Then a shoot will grow from the stump of Jesse,

and a branch from his roots will bear fruit.

33 Look, the Sovereign, the Lord of hosts,

will lop the boughs with terrifying power;

the tallest trees will be cut down,

and the lofty will be brought low.

34 He will hack down the thickets of the forest with an ax,

and Lebanon with its majestic trees will fall.

1 A shoot shall come out from the stump of Jesse,

and a branch shall grow out of his roots.

33 Look! The Lord Yahweh of hosts is about to lop off the branches with great power,

and the towering trees will be felled,

and the tall trees will be brought low.

34 And he will cut down the thickets of the forest with the axe,

and Lebanon will fall by the mighty one.

1 And a shoot will come out from the stump of Jesse,

and a branch from its roots will bear fruit.

33 The Assyrian soldiers are like trees in a forest.

The Lord who rules over all

will chop them down.

The Lord will cut off their branches

with his great power.

He will chop the tall trees down.

He will cut down even the highest ones.

34 The Mighty One will chop down the forest with his ax.

He will cut down the cedar trees in Lebanon.

1 Jesse’s family is like a tree that has been cut down.

A new little tree will grow from its stump.

From its roots a Branch will grow and produce fruit.

33 Behold, the Lord, the God of hosts, will lop off the boughs with a terrible crash;

Those also who are tall in stature will be cut down

And those who are lofty will be abased.

34 He will cut down the thickets of the forest with an iron axe,

And Lebanon will fall by the Mighty One.

1 Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse,

And a branch from his roots will bear fruit.
