Isaiah 10:15-17

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁵ Shall the ax boast itself against him who chops with it? Or shall the saw magnify itself against him who wields it back and forth? As if a rod should wield those who lift it up, or as if a staff should lift itself up as if it were not wood [but a man of God]!

¹⁶ Therefore will the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send leanness among [the Assyrian’s] fat ones; and instead of his glory or under it He will kindle a burning like the burning of fire.

¹⁷ And the Light of Israel shall become a fire and His Holy One a flame, and it will ^[a]burn and devour [the Assyrian’s] thorns and briers in one day.^(A)
