Isaiah 10:12-15
New American Standard Bible
12 So it will be that when the Lord has completed all His (A)work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, He will say, “I will [a]punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and (B)the arrogant pride of his eyes.” 13 For (C)he has said,
“By the power of my hand and by my wisdom I did this,
Because I have understanding;
And I (D)removed the boundaries of the peoples
And plundered their treasures,
And like a powerful man I brought down [b]their inhabitants,
14 And my hand reached to the riches of the peoples like a (E)nest,
And as one gathers abandoned eggs, I gathered all the earth;
And there was not one that flapped its wing, opened its beak, or chirped.”
15 Is the (F)axe to (G)boast itself over the one who chops with it?
Is the saw to exalt itself over the one who wields it?
That would be like (H)a [c]club wielding those who lift it,
Or like (I)a rod lifting the one who is not wood.

Isaiah 10:12-15
New International Version
12 When the Lord has finished all his work(A) against Mount Zion(B) and Jerusalem, he will say, “I will punish the king of Assyria(C) for the willful pride(D) of his heart and the haughty look(E) in his eyes. 13 For he says:
“‘By the strength of my hand(F) I have done this,(G)
and by my wisdom, because I have understanding.
I removed the boundaries of nations,
I plundered their treasures;(H)
like a mighty one I subdued[a] their kings.(I)
14 As one reaches into a nest,(J)
so my hand reached for the wealth(K) of the nations;
as people gather abandoned eggs,
so I gathered all the countries;(L)
not one flapped a wing,
or opened its mouth to chirp.(M)’”
