Isaiah 10:5
The Lord Turns on Arrogant Assyria
5 Assyria, the club I use to vent my anger, is as good as dead, ▼a cudgel with which I angrily punish. ▼
▼ 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.”
