Isaiah 10:8-14
English Standard Version
8 for he says:
(A)“Are not my commanders all kings?
9 (B)Is not (C)Calno like (D)Carchemish?
Is not (E)Hamath like (F)Arpad?
(G)Is not (H)Samaria like Damascus?
10 As my hand has reached to (I)the kingdoms of the idols,
whose carved images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11 shall I not do to Jerusalem and (J)her idols
(K)as I have done to Samaria and her images?”
12 (L)When the Lord has finished all his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, (M)he[a] will punish the speech[b] of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and the boastful look in his eyes. 13 (N)For he says:
“By the strength of my hand I have done it,
and by my wisdom, for I have understanding;
I remove the boundaries of peoples,
and plunder their treasures;
like a bull I bring down those who sit on thrones.
14 My hand has found like a nest
the wealth of the peoples;
and as one gathers eggs that have been forsaken,
so I have gathered all the earth;
and there was none that moved a wing
or opened the mouth or chirped.”
