Isaiah 9:10-14

“The bricks have fallen down, But we will rebuild with smooth stones; The sycamores have been cut down, But we will replace them with cedars.”

Therefore the Lord raises superior adversaries against them from Rezin And provokes their enemies,

The Arameans from the east and the Philistines from the west; And they devour Israel with gaping jaws. In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away, And His hand is still stretched out.

Yet the people do not turn back to Him who struck them, Nor do they seek the Lord of armies.

So the Lord cuts off head and tail from Israel, Both palm branch and bulrush in a single day.
