Isaiah 9:8-10

EasyEnglish Bible

The Lord punishes Israel

⁸ The Lord God has spoken a message to warn Jacob's descendants, the kingdom of Israel. ⁹ All the people who live in Ephraim and in the city of Samaria know about it. But they are proud and they boast, ¹⁰ ‘We built houses with bricks and they fell down. But we will build them again with strong stones. People have cut down our fig trees, but we will plant great cedar trees instead.’
