NET Bible
"“The bricks have fallen, but we will rebuild with chiseled stone; the sycamore fig trees have been cut down, but we will replace them with cedars.”"
— Isaiah 9:10, NET Bible
“The bricks are fallen, but we will build with hewn stone; the sycomores are cut down, but we will put cedars in their place. ”
“"The bricks have fallen, but we will build with cut stone. The sycamore fig trees have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place."”
“The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with square stones: they have cut down the sycamores, but we will change them for cedars.”
“The bricks have come down, but we will put up buildings of cut stone in their place: the sycamores are cut down, but they will be changed to cedars.”
“The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.”
His dominion will be vast and he will bring immeasurable prosperity. He will rule on David’s throne and over David’s kingdom, establishing it and strengthening it by promoting justice and fairness, from this time forward and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies will accomplish this.
God’s Judgment Intensifies The Lord decreed judgment on Jacob, and it fell on Israel.
All the people were aware of it, the people of Ephraim and those living in Samaria. Yet with pride and an arrogant attitude, they said,
“The bricks have fallen, but we will rebuild with chiseled stone; the sycamore fig trees have been cut down, but we will replace them with cedars.”
Then the LORD provoked their adversaries to attack them, he stirred up their enemies–
Syria from the east, and the Philistines from the west, they gobbled up Israelite territory. Despite all this, his anger does not subside, and his hand is ready to strike again.
The people did not return to the one who struck them, they did not seek reconciliation with the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.
