Isaiah 9:8-12
Judgment on Arrogance and Oppression
8 The Lord has sent a word against Jacob,and it will fall on Israel;
9and all the people will know,
aEphraim and the inhabitants of Samaria,
who say in pride and in arrogance of heart:
10“The bricks have fallen,
but we will build with dressed stones;
the sycamores have been cut down,
but we will put cedars in their place.”
11But the Lord raises the adversaries of Rezin against him,
and stirs up his enemies.
12 bThe Syrians on the east and cthe Philistines on the west
devour Israel with open mouth.
dFor all this his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is stretched out still.
