LEB(i)
8 For he says, "Are not my commanders altogether kings?
9 Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?
10 As my hand has reached to the kingdoms of the idols* —and their images were ⌊greater than those of⌋* Jerusalem and Samaria—
11 shall I not do to Jerusalem and its idols what I have done to Samaria and her idols?"
12 And this shall happen: when the Lord has finished all his work against ⌊Mount Zion⌋* and Jerusalem, "I will punish the ⌊arrogance⌋* of the king of Assyria and ⌊his haughtiness⌋."*
13 For he says,
"I have done it by the strength of my hand and by my wisdom, for I have understanding, and I have removed the boundaries of peoples, and I have plundered their stores, and like a bull I have brought down ⌊the inhabitants⌋.*
