8 The Lord sent a word against Jacob,and it falls upon Israel.
9 All the people shall know,even Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria,who say in the prideand stoutness of heart,
10 “The bricks are fallen down,but we will build with hewn stones;the sycamores are cut down,but we will replace them with cedars.”
11 Therefore, the Lord shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him,and join his enemies together.
12 The Arameans shall be before and the Philistines behind;and they shall devour Israel with open jaws. For all this His anger is not turned away,and His hand is stretched out still.
13 For the people do not turn to Him who struck them,nor do they seek the Lord of Hosts.
14 Therefore the Lord will cut off from Israel head and tail,branch and bulrush, in one day.
