Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

13 For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I (can) discern: and I have removed the bounds of peoples, and robbed their treasures, and brought down, like a mighty one, them that ’enthroned:

14 And my hand hath reached, as a nest, the riches of the peoples; and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there. was none that fluttered a wing, or opened a mouth, or peeped.

15 Shall the axe glory against him that heweth therewith? Shall the saw magnify itself against him that plieth it? as if a rod should ply them that lift it up, as if a staff should lift up what is not wood.
