Isaiah 10:12-14
New International Reader's Version
12 The Lord will finish everything he has planned to do against Mount Zion and Jerusalem. Then he’ll say, “Now I will punish the king of Assyria. I will punish him because his heart and his eyes are so proud. 13 The king of Assyria says,
“ ‘By my power
I have taken over all these nations.
I am very wise.
I have great understanding.
I have wiped out the borders between nations.
I’ve taken their treasures.
Like a great hero I’ve brought their kings under my control.
14 I’ve taken the wealth of the nations.
It was as easy as reaching into a bird’s nest.
I’ve gathered the riches of all these countries.
It was as easy as gathering eggs
that have been left in a nest.
Not a single baby bird flapped its wings.
Not one of them opened its mouth to chirp.’ ”

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)’”
