9. (8) And all HaAm shall know it, even Ephrayim and the inhabitant of Shomron, that say in the ga'avah (pride) and haughtiness levav (of heart),
10. (9) The levenim (bricks) are fallen down, but we will rebuild with cut stones; the sycamores are cut down, but we will replace them with cedars.
11. (10) Therefore Hashem shall strengthen the adversaries of Retzin against him, and spur on his enemies;
12. (11) The Syrians from the east, and the Pelishtim from the west; and they shall devour Yisroel with open mouth. For all this His anger is not turned away, but His yad is upraised still.
13. (12) For HaAm turneth not unto Him that struck them, neither do they seek Hashem Tzva'os.
14. (13) Therefore Hashem will root out of Yisroel head and tail, palm branch and reed, in yom echad.
15. (14) The zaken and prominent man is the head; and the navi that is the moreh sheker (teacher of lies, false teacher) is the tail.
16. (15) For the me'ashrei HaAm HaZeh (leaders of this people) cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
