Isaiah 9:10-12

New Catholic Bible

¹⁰ In response the Lord raised up foes against them
    and spurred on their enemies,
¹¹ the Arameans on the east and the Philistines on the west,
    and they devoured Israel with gaping jaws.
Yet after all this his anger has not abated
    and his hand is still outstretched.
¹² But the people did not turn to him who struck them,
    nor did they seek the Lord of hosts.
