Isaiah 10:15-17
Expanded Bible
15 ·An ax is not better than [L Does an ax exalt itself above…?] the person who swings it.
·A saw is not better than […or a saw over…?] the one who uses it.
A ·stick [rod; or scepter] cannot control the person who picks it up.
A club cannot pick up ·the person [L one who is not wood; or as if it were not made of wood]!
16 So the Lord God ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts]
will send ·a terrible disease [L leanness; emaciation] upon Assyria’s ·soldiers [strong/stout/fat ones].
·The strength of Assyria will be burned up [L Under his glory a fire will be lit]
like a fire burning.
17 The Light of Israel [C God], will be like a fire;
the Holy One [1:4] will be like a flame.
He will be like a fire
that ·suddenly [L in one day] burns and ·consumes [devours] the weeds and thorns.
