Isaiah 9:9-11

New International Version - UK

⁹ All the people will know it –
    Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria –
who say with pride
    and arrogance of heart,
¹⁰ ‘The bricks have fallen down,
    but we will rebuild with dressed stone;
the fig-trees have been felled,
    but we will replace them with cedars.’
¹¹ But the Lord has strengthened Rezin’s foes against them
    and has spurred their enemies on.
