Isaiah 9:9-11
Amplified Bible
9
And all the people know it,
That is, [a]Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria [its capital],
Who say in pride and arrogance of heart:
10
“The bricks have fallen down,
But we will rebuild [all the better] with ashlar (hewed stones);
The sycamores have been cut down,
But we will replace them with [expensive] cedars.”
11
Therefore the Lord raises against Ephraim adversaries from Rezin [king of Aram]
And spurs their enemies on,

New International Version
9 All the people will know it—
Ephraim(A) and the inhabitants of Samaria(B)—
who say with pride
and arrogance(C) of heart,
10 “The bricks have fallen down,
but we will rebuild with dressed stone;(D)
the fig(E) trees have been felled,
but we will replace them with cedars.(F)”
11 But the Lord has strengthened Rezin’s(G) foes against them
and has spurred their enemies on.
