Isaiah 9:9-12

Leeser(i) 9 (9:8) And experience it shall all the people together, Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria; because they say, in the pride and haughtiness of heart, 10 (9:9) “The bricks are fallen down, but with hewn stones will we re-build: the sycamores are cut down, but with cedars will we replace them.” 11 (9:10) Therefore will the Lord strengthen the adversaries of Rezin above him, and will stir up his enemies; 12 (9:11) The Syrians in front, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with a full mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand still remaineth stretched out.
