Isaiah 10:15-17
English Standard Version
Isaiah 10:15-17
English Standard Version
15 Shall (A)the axe boast over him who hews with it,
or the saw magnify itself against him who wields it?
As if a rod should wield him who lifts it,
or as if a staff should lift him who is not wood!
16 Therefore the Lord God of hosts
will send wasting sickness among his (B)stout warriors,
and under his glory (C)a burning will be kindled,
like the burning of fire.
17 (D)The light of Israel will become a fire,
and (E)his Holy One a flame,
and (F)it will burn and devour
his thorns and briers (G)in one day.

Isaiah 10:15-17
New International Version
15 Does the ax raise itself above the person who swings it,
or the saw boast against the one who uses it?(A)
As if a rod were to wield the person who lifts it up,
or a club(B) brandish the one who is not wood!
16 Therefore, the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
will send a wasting disease(C) upon his sturdy warriors;(D)
under his pomp(E) a fire(F) will be kindled
like a blazing flame.
17 The Light of Israel will become a fire,(G)
their Holy One(H) a flame;
in a single day it will burn and consume
his thorns(I) and his briers.(J)
