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
In the 8th century BC, the prophet Isaiah was delivering a message from God to the Assyrian empire, which was being used as an instrument of divine judgment against Israel for their idolatry and rebellion. Assyria, however, was arrogantly boasting about its military successes as if it were the source of its own power, failing to recognize that it was merely a tool in God's hands. This verse uses vivid imagery to emphasize that no created thing can claim credit over its creator or wielder.
