Shall I not do also to Jerusalem and her idols?’ ”
“By the strength of my hand I have done it,
And by my wisdom, for I am prudent;
Also I have removed the boundaries of the people,
And have robbed their treasuries;
So I have put down the inhabitants like a1 valiant man.
And as one gathers eggs that are left,
I have gathered all the earth;
And there was no one who moved his wing,
Nor opened his mouth with even a peep.”
Or shall the saw exalt itself against him who saws with it?
As if a rod could wield itself against those who lift it up,
Or as if a staff could lift up, as if it were not wood!
Will send leanness among his fat ones;
And under his glory
He will kindle a burning
Like the burning of a fire.
And his Holy One for a flame;
aIt will burn and devour
His thorns and his briers in one day.
| << Isaiah 10:12 | Isaiah 10:14 >> |
