7 But this is not what he intends,
nor does he have this in mind,
but it is in his heart to destroy
and to cut off nations not a few.(A)
8 For he says:
“Are not my commanders all kings?(B)
9 Is not Calno like Carchemish?
Is not Hamath like Arpad?
Is not Samaria like Damascus?(C)
10 As my hand has reached to the kingdoms of the idols
whose images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,(D)
11 shall I not do to Jerusalem and her idols
what I have done to Samaria and her images?”
12 When the Lord has finished all his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, he[a] will punish the arrogant boasting of the king of Assyria and his haughty pride.(E) 13 For he says:
“By the strength of my hand I have done it,
and by my wisdom, for I have understanding;
I have removed the boundaries of peoples
and have plundered their treasures;
like a bull I have brought down those who sat on thrones.(F)
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 its mouth or chirped.”(G)

Is not Hamath(E) like Arpad,(F)
and Samaria(G) like Damascus?(H)
10 As my hand seized the kingdoms of the idols,(I)
kingdoms whose images excelled those of Jerusalem and Samaria—
11 shall I not deal with Jerusalem and her images
as I dealt with Samaria and her idols?(J)’”
12 When the Lord has finished all his work(K) against Mount Zion(L) and Jerusalem, he will say, “I will punish the king of Assyria(M) for the willful pride(N) of his heart and the haughty look(O) in his eyes. 13 For he says:
“‘By the strength of my hand(P) I have done this,(Q)
and by my wisdom, because I have understanding.
I removed the boundaries of nations,
I plundered their treasures;(R)
like a mighty one I subdued[a] their kings.(S)
14 As one reaches into a nest,(T)
so my hand reached for the wealth(U) of the nations;
as people gather abandoned eggs,
so I gathered all the countries;(V)
not one flapped a wing,
or opened its mouth to chirp.(W)’”
