Isaiah 10:15-17
Amplified Bible
Isaiah 10:15-17
Amplified Bible
15
Is the axe able to lift itself over the one who chops with it?
Is the saw able to magnify itself over the one who wields it?
That would be like a club moving those who lift it,
Or like a staff raising him who is not [made of] wood [like itself]!
16
Therefore the Lord, the God of hosts, will send a wasting disease among the stout warriors of Assyria;
And under his glory a fire will be kindled like a burning flame.
17
And the Light of Israel will become a fire and His Holy One a flame,
And it will [a]burn and devour Assyria’s thorns and briars in a single day.(A)

Isaiah 10:15-17
New International Version
15 Does the ax raise itself above the person who swings it,
or the saw boast against the one who uses it?(A)
As if a rod were to wield the person who lifts it up,
or a club(B) brandish the one who is not wood!
16 Therefore, the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
will send a wasting disease(C) upon his sturdy warriors;(D)
under his pomp(E) a fire(F) will be kindled
like a blazing flame.
17 The Light of Israel will become a fire,(G)
their Holy One(H) a flame;
in a single day it will burn and consume
his thorns(I) and his briers.(J)
