God Will Punish Israel

The Lord sent a message against the people of Jacob.
    That message says that God will judge Israel.
Then everyone in Israel, even the leaders in Samaria,
    will know that God punished them.
Those people, who are proud and who brag now, say this:
10 “These bricks have fallen,
    but we will build again with cut stones.
These small trees have been chopped down.
    But we will put great cedars there.”

    and arrogance(D) of heart,
10 “The bricks have fallen down,
    but we will rebuild with dressed stone;(E)
the fig(F) trees have been felled,
    but we will replace them with cedars.(G)
