The Lord’s Anger Against Israel

⁸The Lord has sent a message^(A) against Jacob;

who say with pride
    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)”

New King James Version

The Punishment of Samaria

⁸The Lord sent a word against ^(A)Jacob,
And it has fallen on Israel.
⁹All the people will know—
Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria—
Who say in pride and arrogance of heart:
¹⁰“The bricks have fallen down,
But we will rebuild with hewn stones;
The sycamores are cut down,
But we will replace them with cedars.”
