Isaiah 10:5

Judgment On Assyria's Arrogance

⁴ Without me, one hath bowed under a prisoner Yea under the slain, do they fall! For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched. ⁵ Alas! for Assyria, the rod of mine anger, - Yea, the very staff in their hand, is, my displeasure: ⁶ Against an irreligious nation, will I send him, Yea against the people with whom I am wroth, will I command him, - To capture spoil And lay hold on prey, And cause them to be trodden down as the mire of the lanes.
