Isaiah 9:8-12

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁸ The Lord sent a word against Jacob,
and it falls upon Israel.
⁹ All the people will know,
including Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria,
who say with pride and with an arrogant heart,
¹⁰ “The mud bricks have fallen down,
but we will build with cut stone.
The sycamore fig trees have been cut down,
but we will replace them with cedars.”
¹¹ Then the Lord will raise up Rezin’s adversaries against him,
and he will stir up his enemies.
¹² Arameans from the east and Philistines from the west
will devour Israel with an open mouth.
