8 And if they say unto him, Thou alone art ruler,
9 Then shall he say, Did I not take the country above Babylon, and Calno, where the tower was built? and I took Arabia, and Damascus, and Samaria:
10 Like as I took these in my hand, I will also take all the countries. Wail, ye graven images in Jerusalem and in Samaria:
11 For like as I did to Samaria and the works of her hands, so also will I do to Jerusalem and her idols.
12 And it shall be, when the Lord hath made an end of doing all things in the mount Zion and in Jerusalem, he shall turn (his hand) against the mighty mind, against the ruler of the Assyrians, and upon the uplifting of the glory of his eyes.
13 For he said, By my strength will I do it, and [[by the wisdom of my prudence]] will I remove the boundaries of nations, and will plunder their strength.
14 And I will shake inhabited cities, and the whole world will I seize with my hand like a nest, and like eggs that are left will I take them up; and there is none that shall escape me, or can gainsay me.
15 Shall an axe be glorified, apart from him that smiteth with it? or shall a saw be uplifted, apart from him that driveth it? as if one should lift a rod or staff, and not thus?
