Isaiah 10:13-15
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
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.
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.’
15 Shall the axe vaunt itself over the one who wields it,
or the saw magnify itself against the one who handles it?
As if a rod should raise the one who lifts it up,
or as if a staff should 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)’”
