Isaiah 9:7-9
New Catholic Bible
Fall of the Northern Kingdom
7 The Lord has sent forth his word against Jacob,
and it has fallen on Israel.
8 [a]All the people were aware of this,
Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria,
but they said in their arrogance and pride of heart,
9 “The bricks have fallen down,
but we will rebuild with dressed stones.
The sycamores have been cut down,
but we will replace them with cedars.”
Footnotes
- Isaiah 9:8 In all likelihood, this song goes back to about 739 B.C.; at that time Israel, now subject to the Assyrians, was assailed by its neighbors (2 Ki 15:19).
Isaiah 9:7-9
New International Version
7 Of the greatness of his government(A) and peace(B)
there will be no end.(C)
He will reign(D) on David’s throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice(E) and righteousness(F)
from that time on and forever.(G)
The zeal(H) of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this.
