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
Therefore - To chastise your pride, and defeat your hopes. Set up - The Assyrians, who, presently after this prophecy, prevailed against him, II Kings 16:7. He mentions Rezin, because he was confederate with Ephraim. Join - So that they shall invade him from several quarters. His - Not Rezin's, but Ephraim.
