Isaiah 10:12-14

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Judgment on Assyria

¹²But when the Lord finishes all His work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, He will say, “I^[a] will punish the king of Assyria for his arrogant acts and the proud look in his eyes.” ¹³For he said:

I have done this by my own strength
and wisdom, for I am clever.
I abolished the borders of nations
and plundered their treasures;
like a mighty warrior, I subjugated the inhabitants.^[b]
¹⁴My hand has reached out, as if into a nest,
to seize the wealth of the nations.
Like one gathering abandoned eggs,
I gathered the whole earth.
No wing fluttered;
no beak opened or chirped.
