Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood.

The verse 15 is found in chapter 10 of Isaiah. Assyria is described as an instrument used by God to punish, yet its pride will also be judged. The Assyrian king attributes his conquests to his own strength and wisdom, ignoring that Yahweh used him as an instrument. The passage develops a fundamental paradox of divine sovereignty: God can employ an ungodly power without approving its arrogance.

Deutsch · L1912 Mag sich auch eine Axt rühmen gegen den, der damit haut? oder eine Säge trotzen gegen den, der sie zieht? Als ob die Rute schwänge den der sie hebt; als ob der Stecken höbe den, der kein Holz ist!
Español · RVR1909 ¿Gloriarase el hacha contra el que con ella corta? ¿se ensoberbecerá la sierra contra el que la mueve? como si el bordón se levantase contra los que lo levantan; como si se levantase la vara: ¿no es leño?
Español · NTBT ¿Se jactará el hacha por encima del que corta con ella? ¿Se engrandecerá la sierra sobre el que la maneja? ¡Como si la vara manejara a los que la levantan, como si un bastón levantara al que no es madera!
Français · LSG La hache se glorifie-t-elle envers celui qui s'en sert? Ou la scie est-elle arrogante envers celui qui la manie? Comme si la verge faisait mouvoir celui qui la lève, Comme si le bâton soulevait celui qui n'est pas du bois!
Italiano · DIO1885 Glorierassi la scure contro a colui che taglia con essa? magnificherassi la sega contro a colui che la mena? come se la verga movesse quelli che l’alzano, e come se il bastone si elevasse da sè, quasi come non fosse legno.
Português · ARC Porventura gloriar-se-á o machado contra o que corta com ele, ou presumirá a serra contra o que puxa por ela, como se o bordão movesse aos que o levantam, ou a vara levantasse como não sendo pau?
中文 · RCUV 斧豈可向用斧砍伐的自誇呢？ 鋸豈可向拉鋸的自大呢？ 這好比棍揮動那舉棍的， 好比杖舉起那不是木頭的人。
