Isaiah 10:12-14

New Century Version

¹²When the Lord finishes doing what he planned to Mount Zion and Jerusalem, he will punish Assyria. The king of Assyria is very proud, and his pride has made him do these evil things, so God will punish him. ¹³The king of Assyria says this:

“By my own power I have done these things;
    by my wisdom I have defeated many nations.
I have taken their wealth,
    and, like a mighty one, I have taken their people.
¹⁴I have taken the riches of all these people,
    like a person reaching into a bird’s nest.
I have taken these nations,
    like a person taking eggs.
Not one raised a hand
    or opened its mouth to stop me.”
