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 that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood.
¿Acaso se jacta el hacha contra quien la maneja? ¿O se enorgullece la sierra contra quien la usa? Sería como si la vara moviera a quien la levanta, o como si el bastón se alzara como si no fuera de madera.
Los instrumentos no pueden jactarse contra quienes los usan, así como las naciones no deben enorgullecerse contra Dios que las controla.
📚 Contexto Histórico
Isaiah was speaking during a time when the powerful Assyrian empire was conquering nations around Israel. The Assyrians believed their military success came from their own strength and wisdom. Isaiah uses this metaphor to remind them (and Israel) that they are merely instruments in God's plan, not the source of their own power.
