Isaiah 10:12-19
English Standard Version
Isaiah 10:12-19
English Standard Version
12 (A)When the Lord has finished all his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, (B)he[a] will punish the speech[b] of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and the boastful look in his eyes. 13 (C)For he says:
“By the strength of my hand I have done it,
and by my wisdom, for I have understanding;
I remove the boundaries of peoples,
and plunder their treasures;
like a bull I bring down those who sit on thrones.
14 My hand has found like a nest
the wealth of the peoples;
and as one gathers eggs that have been forsaken,
so I have gathered all the earth;
and there was none that moved a wing
or opened the mouth or chirped.”
15 Shall (D)the axe boast over him who hews with it,
or the saw magnify itself against him who wields it?
As if a rod should wield him who lifts it,
or as if a staff should lift him who is not wood!
16 Therefore the Lord God of hosts
will send wasting sickness among his (E)stout warriors,
and under his glory (F)a burning will be kindled,
like the burning of fire.
17 (G)The light of Israel will become a fire,
and (H)his Holy One a flame,
and (I)it will burn and devour
his thorns and briers (J)in one day.
18 The glory of (K)his forest and of his (L)fruitful land
the Lord will destroy, both soul and body,
and it will be as when a sick man wastes away.
19 The remnant of the trees of his forest will be so few
that a child can write them down.

New International Version
Isaiah 10:12-19
New International Version
12 When the Lord has finished all his work(A) against Mount Zion(B) and Jerusalem, he will say, “I will punish the king of Assyria(C) for the willful pride(D) of his heart and the haughty look(E) in his eyes. 13 For he says:
“‘By the strength of my hand(F) I have done this,(G)
and by my wisdom, because I have understanding.
I removed the boundaries of nations,
I plundered their treasures;(H)
like a mighty one I subdued[a] their kings.(I)
14 As one reaches into a nest,(J)
so my hand reached for the wealth(K) of the nations;
as people gather abandoned eggs,
so I gathered all the countries;(L)
not one flapped a wing,
or opened its mouth to chirp.(M)’”
15 Does the ax raise itself above the person who swings it,
or the saw boast against the one who uses it?(N)
As if a rod were to wield the person who lifts it up,
or a club(O) brandish the one who is not wood!
16 Therefore, the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
will send a wasting disease(P) upon his sturdy warriors;(Q)
under his pomp(R) a fire(S) will be kindled
like a blazing flame.
17 The Light of Israel will become a fire,(T)
their Holy One(U) a flame;
in a single day it will burn and consume
his thorns(V) and his briers.(W)
18 The splendor of his forests(X) and fertile fields
it will completely destroy,(Y)
as when a sick person wastes away.
19 And the remaining trees of his forests(Z) will be so few(AA)
that a child could write them down.
