Isaiah 9:9-11

Modern English Version

⁹ All the people shall know,
    even Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria,
who say in the pride
    and stoutness of heart,
¹⁰ “The bricks are fallen down,
    but we will build with hewn stones;
the sycamores are cut down,
    but we will replace them with cedars.”
¹¹ Therefore, the Lord shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him,
    and join his enemies together.
