Isaiah 10:12-14
The Message
Isaiah 10:12-14
The Message
12-13 When the Master has finished dealing with Mount Zion and Jerusalem, he’ll say, “Now it’s Assyria’s turn. I’ll punish the bragging arrogance of the king of Assyria, his high and mighty posturing, the way he goes around saying,
13-14 “‘I’ve done all this by myself.
I know more than anyone.
I’ve wiped out the boundaries of whole countries.
I’ve walked in and taken anything I wanted.
I charged in like a bull
and toppled their kings from their thrones.
I reached out my hand and took all that they treasured
as easily as a boy taking a bird’s eggs from a nest.
Like a farmer gathering eggs from the henhouse,
I gathered the world in my basket,
And no one so much as fluttered a wing
or squawked or even chirped.’”

New International Version
Isaiah 10:12-14
New International Version
12 When the Lord has finished all his work(A) against Mount Zion(B) and Jerusalem, he will say, “I will punish the king of Assyria(C) for the willful pride(D) of his heart and the haughty look(E) in his eyes. 13 For he says:
“‘By the strength of my hand(F) I have done this,(G)
and by my wisdom, because I have understanding.
I removed the boundaries of nations,
I plundered their treasures;(H)
like a mighty one I subdued[a] their kings.(I)
14 As one reaches into a nest,(J)
so my hand reached for the wealth(K) of the nations;
as people gather abandoned eggs,
so I gathered all the countries;(L)
not one flapped a wing,
or opened its mouth to chirp.(M)’”
