Isaiah 10:7

⁵  O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.

⁶  I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

⁷  Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.

⁸  For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings?

⁹  Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
