Isaiah 10:15-19
New International Version
Isaiah 10:15-19
New International Version
15 Does the ax raise itself above the person who swings it,
or the saw boast against the one who uses it?(A)
As if a rod were to wield the person who lifts it up,
or a club(B) brandish the one who is not wood!
16 Therefore, the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
will send a wasting disease(C) upon his sturdy warriors;(D)
under his pomp(E) a fire(F) will be kindled
like a blazing flame.
17 The Light of Israel will become a fire,(G)
their Holy One(H) a flame;
in a single day it will burn and consume
his thorns(I) and his briers.(J)
18 The splendor of his forests(K) and fertile fields
it will completely destroy,(L)
as when a sick person wastes away.
19 And the remaining trees of his forests(M) will be so few(N)
that a child could write them down.
Isaiah 10:15-19
King James Version
Isaiah 10:15-19
King James Version
15 Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood.
16 Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.
17 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;
18 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standard-bearer fainteth.
19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.
