Isaiah 9:9-11
International Standard Version
Isaiah 9:9-11
International Standard Version
9 and all of the people were evil[a]—
Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria—
saying proudly with arrogant hearts:
10 ‘The bricks have fallen,
but we will build with dressed[b] stones;
the sycamore[c] trees have been cut down,
but we will replace them with cedars.’[d]
11 But the Lord has raised adversaries[e] from Rezin[f] against him,
and he stirs up his enemies—
