The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 10 is found in chapter 9 of Isaiah. The second half of the chapter shows that judgment does not stop because the people refuse to acknowledge it. Ephraim and Samaria respond to defeat with pride, and internal violence intensifies. The repeated statement that Yahweh’s anger has not turned away functions as a judicial refrain and reveals the persistence of rebellion.

Denn der HERR wird Rezins Kriegsvolk wider sie erhöhen und ihre Feinde zuhauf ausrotten:
Los ladrillos cayeron, mas edificaremos de cantería; cortaron los cabrahigos, mas cedros pondremos en su lugar.
«Los ladrillos han caído, pero construiremos con piedra labrada; los sicómoros han sido talados, pero los reemplazaremos con cedros».
Des briques sont tombées, Nous bâtirons en pierres de taille; Des sycomores ont été coupés, Nous les remplacerons par des cèdres.
I mattoni son caduti, ma noi edificheremo di pietre pulite; i sicomori sono stati tagliati, ma noi li muteremo in cedri.
Os tijolos caíram, mas com cantaria tornaremos a edificar; cortaram-se os sicômoros, mas em cedros as mudaremos.
「磚塊掉落了,我們要鑿石頭重建; 桑樹砍了,我們要改種香柏樹。」
