Isaiah 9:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹ Then everyone in Israel, even ·the leaders [^LEphraim and those living] in Samaria,
    will know that God has sent it.
Those people are proud and ·brag [^Larrogant of heart] by saying,
¹⁰ “These bricks have fallen,
    but we will build again with ·cut [hewn; dressed] stones.
These ·small trees [^Lfig trees; or sycamores] have been chopped down,
    but we will put great cedars there.”
¹¹ But the Lord has brought the enemies of Rezin against them;
    he has ·stirred up [raised up; provoked] their enemies against them.
