Isaiah 10:14-16
International Standard Version
Isaiah 10:14-16
International Standard Version
14 My hand has found, as if in a nest,
the wealth of the people;
and as one gathers eggs that have been abandoned,
so I have gathered all the inhabitants of the[a] earth.
Nothing moved a wing,
opened its mouth,
or chirped.’
15 “Does the ax exalt itself
over the one who swings it?
Or does the saw magnify itself
in opposition to the one who wields it?
As if a rod were to wield those who lift[b] it,
or as if a club were to brandish the one who is not wood!
16 Therefore, the Lord God[c] of the Heavenly Armies will send a wasting disease
among Assyria’s[d] sturdy warriors,
and under its glory a conflagration will be kindled,
like a blazing bonfire.

New International Version
Isaiah 10:14-16
New International Version
14 As one reaches into a nest,(A)
so my hand reached for the wealth(B) of the nations;
as people gather abandoned eggs,
so I gathered all the countries;(C)
not one flapped a wing,
or opened its mouth to chirp.(D)’”
15 Does the ax raise itself above the person who swings it,
or the saw boast against the one who uses it?(E)
As if a rod were to wield the person who lifts it up,
or a club(F) brandish the one who is not wood!
16 Therefore, the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
will send a wasting disease(G) upon his sturdy warriors;(H)
under his pomp(I) a fire(J) will be kindled
like a blazing flame.
