“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.
Both soul and body;
And they will be as when a sick man wastes away.
The Returning Remnant of Israel
That the remnant of Israel,
And such as have escaped of the house of Jacob,
aWill never again depend on him who1 defeated them,
But will depend on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
| << Isaiah 10:13 | Isaiah 10:15 >> |
