Elberfelder Bibel (ELB)Deutsch
Darf die Axt sich rühmen wider den, der damit haut? Oder die Säge sich brüsten wider den, der sie zieht? Als schwänge ein Stock die, welche ihn emporheben, als höbe ein Stab den empor, der kein Holz ist!
Reina-Valera (RV)Español
¿Gloriaráse 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?
Bíblia Livre (BL)Português
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.
Nova Versão (NVA)Português
Terá o machado orgulho de si mesmo contra aquele que o manuseia? Aplaudirá o serrote a si mesmo mais do que àquele que o usa? É como se a vara pudesse levantar aquele que a levanta, ou como se um bastão de madeira pudesse levantar uma pessoa.
📖 Isaiah 10:15 in Context
13For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man:
14And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.
15Shall 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.
16Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.
17And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;
