Isaiah 10:11-14

¹¹So we will defeat Jerusalem and destroy the idols that are there, just like we destroyed Samaria and the idols that were there!’

¹²But, I, Yahweh, say that after I have used Assyria to finish what I want to do to punish the people in Jerusalem DOU, I will punish the king of Assyria because he has been very proud and arrogant/boastful DOU.

¹³He says, ‘By my own great power MTY I have done these things. I have been able to do them because I am very wise and very intelligent. My army removed the barriers at the borders of nations and carried away all their valuable things. My army has knocked down their kings like SIM a ferocious bull would.

¹⁴Like MET a farmer reaches into a bird's nest to take away the eggs, we have taken away the treasures of other countries DOU. The people were not like birds that would flap their wings or chirp loudly to protest about their eggs being stolen; the people did not object at all to their treasures being stolen.’
