Parallel
Isaiah 10:15
King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible
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 (note: Or, as if a rod should shake them that lift it up) that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood (note: Or, that which is not wood).
Does an axe raise itself above the one who swings it? Does a saw boast over him who saws with it? It would be like a rod waving the one who lifts it, or a staff lifting him who is not wood!
