Esias 10:15

15 Shall the axe glorify itself without him that hews with it? or shall the saw lift up itself without him that uses it, as if one should lift a rod or staff? but it shall not be so;

Esias 10:15 In-Context

13 For he said, I will act in strength, and in the wisdom of understanding I will remove the boundaries of nations, and will spoil their strength.

14 And I will shake the inhabited cities: and I will take with my hand all the world as a nest: and I will even take them as eggs that have been left; and there is none that shall escape me, or contradict me.

15 Shall the axe glorify itself without him that hews with it? or shall the saw lift up itself without him that uses it, as if one should lift a rod or staff? but it shall not be so;

16 but the Lord of hosts shall send dishonour upon thine honour, and burning fire shall be kindled upon thy glory.

17 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and he shall sanctify him with burning fire, and it shall devour the wood as grass.
