Isaiah 9:11-13

11Then the Lord provoked their adversaries to attack them, he stirred up their enemies –

12Syria from the east, and the Philistines from the west, they gobbled up Israelite territory. Despite all this, his anger does not subside, and his hand is ready to strike again.

13The people did not return to the one who struck them, they did not seek reconciliation with the Lord who commands armies.
