Isaiah 9:8-11 NIV

[8] The Lord has sent a message against Jacob; it will fall on Israel. [9] All the people will know it—Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria—who say with pride and arrogance of heart, [10] “The bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with dressed stone; the fig trees have been felled, but we will replace them with cedars.” [11] But the LORD has strengthened Rezin’s foes against them and has spurred their enemies on.
