Isaiah 9:9-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
9And 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.' 11Therefore the Lord raises superior adversaries against them from Rezin And provokes their enemies, 12The 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. 13Yet the people do not turn back to Him who struck them, Nor do they seek the Lord of armies. 14So the Lord cuts off head and tail from Israel, Both palm branch and bulrush in a single day.King James Version
Chapter 9
9And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart, 10The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars. 11Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together; 12The 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. 13For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts. 14Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 9
9All 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." 11The Lord has raised up Rezin's adversaries against him and stirred up his enemies.
12Aram 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.
13The people did not turn to him who struck them; they did not seek the Lord of Armies.
14So the Lord cut off Israel's head and tail, palm branch and reed in a single day.
New Living Translation
Chapter 9
9And the people of Israel and Samaria, who spoke with such pride and arrogance, will soon know it. 10They said, 'We will replace the broken bricks of our ruins with finished stone, and replant the felled sycamore-fig trees with cedars.'English Standard Version
Chapter 9
9and 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.” 11But the LORD raises the adversaries of Rezin against him, and stirs up his enemies. 12The 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. 13The people did not turn to him who struck them, nor inquire of the LORD of hosts. 14So the LORD cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed in one day—New International Version
Chapter 9
9All the people will know it-- Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria-- who say with pride and arrogance of heart, 10The bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with dressed stone; the fig trees have been felled, but we will replace them with cedars.' 11But the LORD has strengthened Rezin's foes against them and has spurred their enemies on.
12Arameans 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.
13But the people have not returned to him who struck them, nor have they sought the LORD Almighty.
14So the LORD will cut off from Israel both head and tail, both palm branch and reed in a single day;
