Isaiah 9:8-10

New International Version

⁸ The Lord has sent a message^(A) against Jacob;
    it will fall on Israel.
⁹ All the people will know it—
    Ephraim^(B) and the inhabitants of Samaria^(C)—
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)”
