Isaiah 10:14-16

International Children’s Bible

¹⁴I have taken the riches of all these people,
    like one who reaches into a bird’s nest.
I have taken these nations,
    like a person taking eggs.
No one raised a hand against me.
    No one opened his mouth to stop me.”

¹⁵An ax is not better than the person who swings it.
    A saw is not better than the person who uses it.
A stick cannot control the person who picks it up.
    A club cannot pick up the person!
¹⁶So the Master, the Lord of heaven’s armies,
    will send a terrible disease against Assyria’s soldiers.
The strength of Assyria will be burned up.
    It will be like a fire burning until everything is gone.
