Isaiah 9:8-12
American Standard Version
8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel. 9 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in pride and in stoutness of heart, 10 The bricks are fallen, but we will build with hewn stone; the sycomores are cut down, but we will put cedars in their place. 11 Therefore Jehovah [a]will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and [b]will [c]stir up his enemies, 12 the Syrians [d]before, and the Philistines [e]behind; and they [f]shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

Yahweh’s Anger against Arrogance
8 The Lord has sent out a word against Jacob,
and it fell on Israel.
9 And all of the people knew it,
Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria
in pride and arrogance of heart, saying,
10 “The bricks have fallen, but we will build with dressed stone.
The sycamore-fig trees were felled, but we will replace them with cedars.”
11 So Yahweh strengthened the adversaries of Rezin[a] against him,
and he provoked his enemies—
12 Aram from the east
and Philistines[b] from the west—
and they devoured Israel with the whole mouth.
He has not turned away his anger in all of this,
and his hand is still stretched out.
