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)’”
