Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria—
Who say in pride and arrogance of heart:
But we will rebuild with hewn stones;
The sycamores are cut down,
But we will replace them with cedars.”
And they shall devour Israel with an open mouth.
For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is1 stretched out still.

Isaiah 9:11
adversaries of Rezin—the Assyrians, who shall first attack Damascus, shall next advance "against him" (Ephraim). This is the punishment of Ephraim's pride in making light (Isaiah 9:10) of the judgment already inflicted by God through Tiglath-pileser (II Kings 15:29). A second Assyrian invasion (see on Isaiah 7:1) shall follow. The reading "princes" for "adversaries" in uncalled for.
join—rather, "arm"; cover with armor [MAURER].
his—Rezin's.
