(A)For he says,
Are not my princes altogether kings?
Is not (B)Calno (C)like Carchemish?
Is not Hamath like Arpad?
Is not Samaria (D)like Damascus?
10 As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols,
Whose carved images excelled those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11 As I have done to Samaria and her idols,
Shall I not do also to Jerusalem and her idols?’ ”

12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Lord has [a]performed all His work (E)on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, that He will say, (F)“I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his haughty looks.”

13 (G)For he says:

“By the strength of my hand I have done it,
And by my wisdom, for I am prudent;
Also I have removed the boundaries of the people,
And have robbed their treasuries;
So I have put down the inhabitants like a [b]valiant man.
14 (H)My hand has found like a nest the riches of the people,
And as one gathers eggs that are left,
I have gathered all the earth;
And there was no one who moved his wing,
Nor opened his mouth with even a peep.”

12 When the Lord has finished all his work(J) against Mount Zion(K) and Jerusalem, he will say, “I will punish the king of Assyria(L) for the willful pride(M) of his heart and the haughty look(N) in his eyes. 13 For he says:

“‘By the strength of my hand(O) I have done this,(P)
    and by my wisdom, because I have understanding.
I removed the boundaries of nations,
    I plundered their treasures;(Q)
    like a mighty one I subdued[a] their kings.(R)
14 As one reaches into a nest,(S)
    so my hand reached for the wealth(T) of the nations;

14 Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed that could deliver his people from my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you from my (A)hand? 15 Now therefore, (B)do not let Hezekiah deceive you or persuade you like this, and do not believe him; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people from my hand or the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you from my hand?’ ”
