Isaiah 9:8 - 9:12

The Lord sends a message against Jacob,

And it falls on Israel.

And all the people know it,

That is, Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria,

Saying in lofty pride and in arrogance of heart:

“The bricks have fallen down,

But we will rebuild with cut stones;

The sycamores have been cut in pieces,

But we will replace them with cedars.”

Therefore Yahweh exalts against them adversaries from Rezin

And incites their enemies,

The Arameans on the east and the Philistines on the west;

And they devour Israel with gaping jaws.

In spite of all this, His anger does not turn back,

And His hand is still stretched out.
