Israel's Arrogance and Coming Punishment

Isaiah 9:8-10:4

Chapter 9
8 And all the people of Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria knew it in pride and in greatness of heart, saying: 9 Bricks have fallen, and hewn stone is built; sycamores they have felled, and cedars we will replace. 10 And the LORD exalts the adversaries of Rezin against him, and he stirs up his enemies. 11 Aram from the east and Philistines from behind devour Israel with every mouth. With all this his anger does not turn, and his hand is still stretched out. 12 And the people did not return to the one who struck them, and they did not seek the LORD of hosts. 13 And the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and rush in one day. 14 He is the elder and lifted-of-face head, and he is the prophet teaching-lie tail. 15 They became the misleaders of this people, his misleaders and his swallowers. 16 Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over his chosen ones, and his orphans and his widows he will not have compassion for, because all are apostate and evil and every mouth speaks abomination. In all this his anger has not returned and still his hand is stretched out. 17 For wickedness burns like fire; it consumes briers and thorns, and it kindles in the thickets of the forest, and they smoke up like the proud. 18 In the wrath of the LORD of hosts the land is burned up, and the people become like a devouring fire; man does not spare his brother. 19 And he decreed on right and famine, and he devoured on left, and they were not satisfied. Each man will eat the flesh of his seed. 20 Manasseh devours Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh; together they are against Judah. In all this his anger has not turned, and his hand is still stretched out.

Chapter 10
1 Alas, the decreers of decrees of On and the writers of toil write! 2 to turn aside the judgment of the poor and to rob justice from the afflicted of my people, to make widows their plunder and to plunder orphans. 3 And what will you do on the Day of visitation and on the destruction from afar that will come? To whom will you flee for help, and where will you leave your glory? 4 Without crouching, under prisoner and under slain they will fall. In all zot not returned his nostril/anger, and still his hand is stretched out.
