Isaiah 10:14-16
Expanded Bible
14 ·I have taken [L My hand has found] the riches of all these people,
like a person reaching into a bird’s nest.
I have ·taken [gathered] these nations,
like a person ·taking [L gathering abandoned] eggs.
Not one ·raised a hand [L flapped a wing]
or opened its mouth to ·stop me [L chirp].”
15 ·An ax is not better than [L Does an ax exalt itself above…?] the person who swings it.
·A saw is not better than […or a saw over…?] the one who uses it.
A ·stick [rod; or scepter] cannot control the person who picks it up.
A club cannot pick up ·the person [L one who is not wood; or as if it were not made of wood]!
16 So the Lord God ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts]
will send ·a terrible disease [L leanness; emaciation] upon Assyria’s ·soldiers [strong/stout/fat ones].
·The strength of Assyria will be burned up [L Under his glory a fire will be lit]
like a fire burning.
Isaiah 10:14-16
New International Version
Isaiah 10:14-16
New International Version
14 As one reaches into a nest,(A)
so my hand reached for the wealth(B) of the nations;
as people gather abandoned eggs,
so I gathered all the countries;(C)
not one flapped a wing,
or opened its mouth to chirp.(D)’”
15 Does the ax raise itself above the person who swings it,
or the saw boast against the one who uses it?(E)
As if a rod were to wield the person who lifts it up,
or a club(F) brandish the one who is not wood!
16 Therefore, the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
will send a wasting disease(G) upon his sturdy warriors;(H)
under his pomp(I) a fire(J) will be kindled
like a blazing flame.
