Isaiah 10:15 - Arno Geneva Study Bible

Bible Comments

Shall the (k) axe boast itself against him that heweth with it? [or] shall the saw magnify itself against him that moveth it? as if the rod should shake [itself] against them that lift it, [or] as if the staff should lift [itself, as if it were] no wood.

(k) Here we see that no creature is able to do anything, but as God appoints him, and that they are all his instruments to do his work though the intentions are diverse, as in (Isaiah 10:6).

Isaiah 10:15

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