12 Therefore it will happen that when the Lord has performed his whole work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the willful proud heart of the king of Assyria, and the insolence of his arrogant looks. 13 For he has said, “By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I have understanding. I have removed the boundaries of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures. Like a valiant man I have brought down their rulers. 14 My hand has found the riches of the peoples like a nest, and like one gathers eggs that are abandoned, I have gathered all the earth. There was no one who moved their wing, or that opened their mouth, or chirped.”

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)’”
