Isaiah 10:8-16

⁸And if they should say to him, Thou alone art ruler;

⁹then shall he say, Have I not taken the country above Babylon and Calno, where the tower was built? and have I not taken Arabia, and Damascus, and Samaria?

¹⁰As I have taken them, I will also take all the kingdoms: howl, ye idols in Jerusalem, and in Samaria.

¹¹For as I did to Samaria and her idols, so will I do also to Jerusalem and her idols.

¹²And it shall come to pass, when the Lord shall have finished doing all things on Mount Zion and Jerusalem, that I will visit upon the proud heart, even upon the ruler of the Assyrians, and upon the boastful haughtiness of his eyes.

¹³For he said, I will act in strength, and in the wisdom of my understanding I will remove the boundaries of nations, and will spoil their strength.

¹⁴And I will shake the inhabited cities: and I will take with my hand all the world as a nest: and I will even take them as eggs that have been left; and there is none that shall escape me, or contradict me.

¹⁵Shall the axe glorify itself without him that hews with it? or shall the saw lift up itself without him that uses it, as if one should lift a rod or staff? but it shall not be so;

¹⁶but the Lord of hosts shall send dishonor upon thine honor, and burning fire shall be kindled upon thy glory.
