8The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it has lighted on Israel.
9All the people shall know, [even] Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, who say in pride and in arrogance of heart,
10The bricks are fallen, but we will build with hewn stone; the sycamores are cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.
11Therefore Yahweh will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and will stir up his enemies,
12the Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
13Yet the people have not turned to him who struck them, neither have they sought Yahweh of Hosts.
14Therefore Yahweh will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm-branch and rush, in one day.
