"Yet for all this, his anger has not turned away, and his hand is still stretched out, ready to strike." 5 "How terrible it will be for Assyria, the rod of my anger! The club is in their hands! 6 I'm sending my fury against a godless nation, and I'll command him against the people with whom I'm angry to seize loot and snatch plunder, and to trample them down like mud in the streets.
