Isaiah 10:13
Compare all
11 As I have done to Samaria and her idols,
Shall I not do also to Jerusalem and her idols?’ ”
12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Lord has1 performed all His work aon Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, that He will say, b“I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his haughty looks.”  
13 aFor he says:
“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. 
14 aMy hand has found like a nest the riches of the people,
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.” 
15 Shall athe ax boast itself against him who chops with it?
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! 
16 Therefore the Lord, the1 Lord of hosts,
Will send leanness among his fat ones;
And under his glory
He will kindle a burning
Like the burning of a fire. 
17 So the Light of Israel will be for a fire,
And his Holy One for a flame;
aIt will burn and devour
His thorns and his briers in one day.

Isaiah 10:13

Like a valiant man "Strongly seated" - Twelve MSS. agree with the Keri in reading kabbir , without the aleph . And Sal. ben Melec and Kimchi thus explain it:" them who dwelled in a great and strong place I have brought down to the ground."
