Isaiah 10:5-12

Judgment on Arrogant Assyria

5 Woe to Assyria, athe rod of my anger;
the staff in their hands is my fury!
6Against a bgodless nation I send him,
and against the people of my wrath I command him,
to take cspoil and seize plunder,
and to dtread them down like the mire of the streets.
7But he edoes 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;
8for he says:
f“Are not my commanders all kings?
9 gIs not hCalno like iCarchemish?
Is not jHamath like kArpad?
lIs not mSamaria like Damascus?
10As my hand has reached to nthe kingdoms of the idols,
whose carved images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11shall I not do to Jerusalem and oher idols
pas I have done to Samaria and her images?”
12 qWhen the Lord has finished all his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, rhe
Hebrew I
will punish the speech of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and the boastful look in his eyes.
