Isaiah 10:15 in Context — Isaiah 10

13 Pois ele diz: Fiz [isso] com a força de minha mão e com minha sabedoria, pois sou esperto; e tirei as fronteiras dos povos, e roubei seus bens, e como guerreiro abati aos moradores.

14 E minha mão tomou as riquezas dos povos como a um ninho; e como se juntam ovos abandonados, assim eu juntei toda a terra; e não houve quem movesse asa, ou abrisse boca, ou fizesse ruído.

15 Por acaso o machado se glorificará contra aquele que com ele corta? Ou a serra se engrandecerá contra aquele que a manuseia? [Seria] como se fosse o bastão que movesse aos que o levantam, como se a vara fosse capaz de levantar, [como se ela] não [fosse apenas] madeira.

16 Por isso o Senhor DEUS dos exércitos enviará magreza entre seus gordos; e em lugar de sua glória ele inflamará um incêndio, como um incêndio de fogo.

17 E a Luz de Israel virá a ser fogo, e seu Santo, labareda, que queima e consome seus espinhos e seus cardos em um dia.
