Isaiah 9:8-17
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
8
The Lord sends a message against Jacob,
And it falls on Israel.
9
And all the people know
it,
That is,
Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria,
Asserting in pride and in arrogance of heart:
10
'The bricks have fallen down,
But we will rebuild with smooth stones;
The sycamores have been cut down,
But we will replace
them
with cedars.'
11
Therefore the
Lord
raises superior adversaries against them from Rezin
And provokes their enemies,
12
The Arameans from the east and the Philistines from the west;
And they devour Israel with gaping jaws.
In
spite of
all this, His anger does not turn away,
And His hand is still stretched out.
13
Yet the people do not turn back to Him who struck them,
Nor do they seek the
Lord
of armies.
14
So the
Lord
cuts off head and tail from Israel,
Both
palm branch and bulrush in a single day.
15
The head is the elder and esteemed man,
And the prophet who teaches falsehood is the tail.
16
For those who guide this people are leading
them
astray;
And those who are guided by them are confused.
17
Therefore the Lord does not rejoice over their young men,
Nor does He have compassion on their orphans or their widows;
For every one of them is godless and an evildoer,
And every mouth is speaking foolishness.
In
spite of
all this, His anger does not turn away,
And His hand is still stretched out.
King James Version
Chapter 9
8
The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
9
And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,
10
The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.
11
Therefore the
Lord
shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;
12
The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
13
For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the
Lord
of hosts.
14
Therefore the
Lord
will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.
15
The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
16
For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
17
Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 9
8
The Lord sent a message against Jacob;
it came against Israel.
9
All the people—
Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria —will know it.
They will say with pride and arrogance:
10
"The bricks have fallen,
but we will rebuild with cut stones;
the sycamores have been cut down,
but we will replace them with cedars."
11
The
Lord
has raised up Rezin’s adversaries against him
and stirred up his enemies.
12
Aram from the east and Philistia from the west
have consumed Israel with open mouths.
In all this, his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is still raised to strike.
13
The people did not turn to him who struck them;
they did not seek the
Lord
of Armies.
14
So the
Lord
cut off Israel’s head and tail,
palm branch and reed in a single day.
15
The head is the elder, the honored one;
the tail is the prophet, the one teaching lies.
16
The leaders of the people mislead them,
and those they mislead are swallowed up.
17
Therefore the Lord does not rejoice
over Israel’s young men
and has no compassion
on its fatherless and widows,
for everyone is a godless evildoer,
and every mouth speaks folly.
In all this, his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is still raised to strike.
New Living Translation
Chapter 9
8
The Lord has spoken out against Jacob;
his judgment has fallen upon Israel.
9
And the people of Israel and Samaria,
who spoke with such pride and arrogance,
will soon know it.
10
They said, 'We will replace the broken bricks of our ruins with finished stone,
and replant the felled sycamore-fig trees with cedars.'
11
But the
Lord
will bring Rezin’s enemies against Israel
and stir up all their foes.
12
The Syrians from the east and the Philistines from the west
will bare their fangs and devour Israel.
But even then the
Lord
’s anger will not be satisfied.
His fist is still poised to strike.
13
For after all this punishment, the people will still not repent.
They will not seek the
Lord
of Heaven’s Armies.
14
Therefore, in a single day the
Lord
will destroy both the head and the tail,
the noble palm branch and the lowly reed.
15
The leaders of Israel are the head,
and the lying prophets are the tail.
16
For the leaders of the people have misled them.
They have led them down the path of destruction.
17
That is why the Lord takes no pleasure in the young men
and shows no mercy even to the widows and orphans.
For they are all wicked hypocrites,
and they all speak foolishness.
But even then the
Lord
’s anger will not be satisfied.
His fist is still poised to strike.
English Standard Version
Chapter 9
8
The Lord has sent a word against Jacob,
and it will fall on Israel;
9
and all the people will know,
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.
12
The Syrians on the east and the Philistines on the west
devour Israel with open mouth.
For all this his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is stretched out still.
13
The people did not turn to him who struck them,
nor inquire of the
Lord
of hosts.
14
So the
Lord
cut off from Israel head and tail,
palm branch and reed in one day —
15
the elder and honored man is the head,
and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail;
16
for those who guide this people have been leading them astray,
and those who are guided by them are swallowed up.
17
Therefore the Lord does not rejoice over their young men,
and has no compassion on their fatherless and widows;
for everyone is godless and an evildoer,
and every mouth speaks folly.
For all this his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is stretched out still.
New International Version
Chapter 9
8
The Lord has sent a message against Jacob;
it will fall on Israel.
9
All the people will know it—
Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria—
who say with pride
and arrogance of heart,
10
"The bricks have fallen down,
but we will rebuild with dressed stone;
the fig trees have been felled,
but we will replace them with cedars."
11
But the
Lord
has strengthened Rezin’s foes against them
and has spurred their enemies on.
12
Arameans from the east and Philistines from the west
have devoured Israel with open mouth. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.
13
But the people have not returned to him who struck them,
nor have they sought the
Lord
Almighty.
14
So the
Lord
will cut off from Israel both head and tail,
both palm branch and reed in a single day;
15
the elders and dignitaries are the head,
the prophets who teach lies are the tail.
16
Those who guide this people mislead them,
and those who are guided are led astray.
17
Therefore the Lord will take no pleasure in the young men,
nor will he pity the fatherless and widows,
for everyone is ungodly and wicked,
every mouth speaks folly. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.
New King James Version
Chapter 9
8
The Lord sent a word against Jacob,
And it has fallen on Israel.
9
All the people will know—
Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria—
Who say in pride and arrogance of heart:
10
“The bricks have fallen down,
But we will rebuild with hewn stones;
The sycamores are cut down,
But we will replace
them
with cedars.”
11
Therefore the
Lord
shall set up
The adversaries of Rezin against him,
And spur his enemies on,
12
The Syrians before and the Philistines behind;
And they shall devour Israel with an open mouth.
For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand
is
stretched out still.
13
For the people do not turn to Him who strikes them,
Nor do they seek the
Lord
of hosts.
14
Therefore the
Lord
will cut off head and tail from Israel,
Palm branch and bulrush in one day.
15
The elder and honorable, he
is
the head;
The prophet who teaches lies, he
is
the tail.
16
For the leaders of this people cause
them
to err,
And
those who are
led by them are destroyed.
17
Therefore the Lord will have no joy in their young men,
Nor have mercy on their fatherless and widows;
For everyone
is
a hypocrite and an evildoer,
And every mouth speaks folly.
For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand
is
stretched out still.
