The Lord sent his word unto Jacob
and it hath lighted upon Israel.
And all the people shall know,
even Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria,
that say in the pride and stoutness of heart:
The bricks are fallen down,
but we will build with hewn stones;
the sycamores are cut down,
but we will change them into cedars.
Therefore the Lord shall set up
the adversaries of Rezin against him,
and join his enemies together;
The 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.
