Isaiah 10:13-15
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
13 For he says:
“By my own power I have done it,
and by my wisdom, for I am shrewd.
I have moved the boundaries of peoples,
their treasures I have pillaged,
and, like a mighty one, I have brought down the enthroned.
14 My hand has seized, like a nest,
the wealth of nations.
As one takes eggs left alone,
so I took in all the earth;
No one fluttered a wing,
or opened a mouth, or chirped!”
15 Will the ax boast against the one who hews with it?
Will the saw exalt itself above the one who wields it?
As if a rod could sway the one who lifts it,
or a staff could lift the one who is not wood!
Isaiah 10:13-15
New International Version
13 For he says:
“‘By the strength of my hand(A) I have done this,(B)
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)’”
