Isaiah 10:15-17
International Standard Version
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[a] it,
or as if a club were to brandish the one who is not wood!
16 Therefore, the Lord God[b] of the Heavenly Armies will send a wasting disease
among Assyria’s[c] sturdy warriors,
and under its glory a conflagration will be kindled,
like a blazing bonfire.
17 “The light of Israel will become a fire,
and its Holy One a flame,
and it will burn
and consume Assyria’s[d] thorns and briers
in a single day.
