Isaiah 10:12-19 - Judgment On Assyria
12 It will happen when Jehovah has performed all his work on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem. He will say: I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his haughty appearance. 13 The king of Assyria says: By the strength of my hand I have done it. By my wisdom and understanding I have done it! I am prudent! Also I have removed the boundaries of the nations. I have robbed their treasuries. I have brought down people like a mighty man! 14 I found the riches of nations as one finds a nest. I gathered the whole world as one gathers abandoned eggs. Not one of them flapped a wing, opened its mouth, or peeped.'
15 Can an ax attack the person who cuts with it? Can a saw make itself greater than the person who saws with it? A rod cannot move the person who lifts it. A wooden stick cannot pick up a person. 16 That is why the Almighty Jehovah of Hosts will send a degenerative disease against brave men. A flame will be turned into a raging fire under his power. 17 The Light of Israel will become a fire and his Holy One a flame. It will burn and consume his thorns and his briers in a single day! 18 It will completely destroy the splendor of his forests and fertile fields, as when a sick man wastes away. 19 And the remaining trees of his forests will be so few that a child could write them down.
