Isaiah 10:8-15

8For it saysH559, “Are not my princesH8269 1allH3164 kingsH4428?9Is not 2CalnoH3641 like 3CarchemishH3751, OrH518 4HamathH2574 like ArpadH774, OrH518 5SamariaH8111 like 6DamascusH1834?10As my handH3027 has reachedH4672 to the 7kingdomsH4467 of the idolsH457, Whose gravenH6456 imagesH6456 were greater thanH4480 those of JerusalemH3389 and SamariaH8111,11Shall I not 8doH6213 to JerusalemH3389 and her imagesH6091 JustH3512 as I have doneH6213 to SamariaH8111 and 9her idolsH457?”

12So it will be that whenH3588 the LordH136 has completedH1214 allH3605 His 10workH4639 on MountH2022 ZionH6726 and on JerusalemH3389, He will say, “I will 11punishH6485 the fruitH6529 of the arrogantH1433 heartH3824 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 and 12the pompH8597 of 13his haughtinessH7312.” 13For 14he has saidH559, “By the powerH3581 of my handH3027 and by my wisdomH2451 I didH6213 this, For I haveH995 understandingH995; And I 15removedH5493 the boundariesH1367 of the peoplesH5971 And plunderedH8154 their treasuresH6264, And like a mightyH3524 manH47 I broughtH3381 downH3381 16their inhabitantsH3427,14And my handH3027 reachedH4672 to the richesH2428 of the peoplesH5971 like a 17nestH7064, And as one gathersH622 abandonedH5800 eggsH1000, I gatheredH622 allH3605 the earthH776; And there was not one that flappedH5074 its wingH3671 or openedH6475 its beakH6310 or chirpedH6850.”

15Is the 18axeH1631 to 19boastH6286 itself overH5921 the one who chopsH2672 with it? Is the sawH4883 to exaltH1431 itself overH5921 the one who wieldsH5130 it? That would be like 20a 21clubH7626 wieldingH5130 those who liftH7311 it, Or like 22a rodH4294 liftingH7311 him who is not woodH6086.
