Isaiah 9:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 “Bricks have fallen,
but we will rebuild with cut stone;
Sycamores have been felled,
but we will replace them with cedars.”(A)
10 So the Lord raises up their foes against them
and stirs up their enemies to action—
11 Aram[a] from the east and the Philistines from the west—
they devour Israel with open mouth.
For all this, his wrath is not turned back,
and his hand is still outstretched!
