Isaiah 9:9-11

English Standard Version

⁹ and all the people will know,
    ^(A)Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria,
    who say in pride and in arrogance of heart:
¹⁰ “The bricks have fallen,
    but we will build with dressed stones;
the sycamores have been cut down,
    but we will put cedars in their place.”
¹¹ But the Lord raises the adversaries of Rezin against him,
    and stirs up his enemies.
