Isaiah 10:14

Easy To Read Version

With my own hands I have taken the riches of all these people—like a person taking eggs from a bird’s nest. A bird often leaves its nest and eggs. And there is nothing to protect the nest. There is no bird to chirp and fight with its wings and beak. So people take the eggs. \{In the same way,\} there was no person to stop me from taking all the people on earth.”
