Isaiah 9:8-14

Isaiah 9:8-14

[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  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.
