Thematic Bible: An instrument of God's vengeance
Thematic Bible
Assyria » As a power, was » An instrument of God's vengeance
Assyria, the club I use to vent my anger, is as good as dead, a cudgel with which I angrily punish. I sent him against a godless nation, I ordered him to attack the people with whom I was angry, to take plunder and to carry away loot, to trample them down like dirt in the streets.
At that time the Lord will whistle for flies from the distant streams of Egypt and for bees from the land of Assyria.
