Isaiah 10:13-15

International Children’s Bible

“By my own power I have done these things.
    By my wisdom I have defeated many nations.
I have taken their wealth.
    And like a mighty one, I have taken their people.
¹⁴ I have taken the riches of all these people,
    like one who reaches into a bird’s nest.
I have taken these nations,
    like a person taking eggs.
No one raised a hand against me.
    No one opened his mouth to stop me.”

¹⁵ An ax is not better than the person who swings it.
    A saw is not better than the person who uses it.
A stick cannot control the person who picks it up.
    A club cannot pick up the person!
