Yahweh’s Anger against Arrogance

in pride and arrogance of heart, saying,
- 10 The bricks have fallen, but we will build with dressed stone. The sycamore-fig trees were felled, but we will replace them with cedars.”
- 11 [fn] against him, and he provoked his enemies—
- 12 the east and Philistines[fn] from the west—
and they devoured Israel with the whole mouth.
He has not turned away his anger in all of this,
- and his hand is still stretched out.
- 13 [fn] and they did not seek Yahweh of hosts.
- 14  palm branch and reed in one day.
- 15 [fn] and[fn] are the head, and prophets[fn] who teach lies[fn] are the tail.
- 16 them, and those who were led were confused.
- 17  and he did not have compassion on its orphans and widows,
for everyone was godless and an evildoer,
- and every mouth was speaking folly.
In all of this his anger did not turn away,
- and still his hand is stretched out.
- 18  it consumed brier and thorn.
And it kindled the thickets of the forest,
- and they swirled upward in a column of smoke.
- 19  and the people became like fire fuel.
[fn]
- 20 the right but still were hungry and devoured on the left but they were not satisfied.
Each one devoured the flesh of his arm,
- Manasseh devoured Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh;
  - together they were against Judah.
In all of this his anger has not turned away,
- and still his hand is stretched out.
