‏ Isaiah 10:5

The Lord Turns on Arrogant Assyria


5Beware, Assyria, the club I use to vent my anger,
tn Heb “Woe [to] Assyria, the club of my anger.”

a cudgel with which I angrily punish.
tn Heb “a cudgel is he, in their hand is my anger.” It seems likely that the final mem (ם) on בְיָדָם (beyadam) is not a pronominal suffix (“in their hand”), but an enclitic mem. If so, one can translate literally, “a cudgel is he in the hand of my anger.”
