Assyria » As a power, was » An instrument of God's vengeance
O Assyrian, rod and staff of my anger, in thy hand have I placed my indignation. I will send him against a hypocritical nation, and upon the people of my wrath will I send him to take spoil and to take prey and to ready them that they might be tread down like the mire of the streets.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
