Judgment on Arrogant Assyria

5 Woe to Assyria, ^cthe rod of my anger;
the staff in their hands is my fury!
6 Against a ^dgodless nation I send him,
and against the people of my wrath I command him,
to take ^espoil and seize plunder,
and to ^ftread them down like the mire of the streets.
7 But he ^gdoes not so intend,
and his heart does not so think;
but it is in his heart to destroy,
and to cut off nations not a few;

Acts 4:27-28
