“By my strong hand I have accomplished this,
by my strategy that I devised.
I invaded the territory of nations,
and looted their storehouses.
Like a mighty conqueror,
10:14 My hand discovered the wealth of the nations, as if it were in a nest,
as one gathers up abandoned eggs,

or open mouth chirping.”
10:15 Does an ax exalt itself over the one who wields it,
