Isaiah 10:13-15
Legacy Standard Bible
13 For (A)he has said,
“By the power of my hand and by my wisdom I did this,
For I have understanding;
And I (B)removed the boundaries of the peoples
And plundered their treasures,
And like a mighty man I brought down [a]their inhabitants,
14 And my hand reached for the wealth of the peoples like a (C)nest,
And as one gathers abandoned eggs, I gathered all the earth;
And there was not one that flapped its wing or opened its beak or chirped.”
15 Is the (D)axe to (E)boast itself over the one who chops with it?
Is the saw to magnify itself over the one who wields it?
That would be like (F)a rod wielding those who lift it,
Or like (G)a staff lifting him who is not wood.

and by my wisdom, because I have understanding.
I removed the boundaries of nations,
I plundered their treasures;(C)
like a mighty one I subdued[a] their kings.(D)
14 As one reaches into a nest,(E)
so my hand reached for the wealth(F) of the nations;
as people gather abandoned eggs,
so I gathered all the countries;(G)
not one flapped a wing,
or opened its mouth to chirp.(H)’”
