Esias 10:4-13

⁴that you° may not fall into captivity? For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is yet exalted.

⁵Woe to the Assyrians; the rod of my wrath, and anger are in their hands.

⁶I will send my wrath against a sinful nation, and I will charge my people to take plunder and spoil, and to trample the cities, and to make them dust.

⁷But he meant not thus, neither did he devise thus in his soul: but his mind shall change, and that to destroy nations not a few.

⁸And if they should say to him, You alone are ruler;

⁹then shall he say, Have I not taken the country above Babylon and Chalanes, where the tower was built? and have I not taken Arabia, and Damascus, and Samaria?

¹⁰As I have taken them, I will also take all the kingdoms: howl, you° idols in Jerusalem, and in Samaria.

¹¹For as I did to Samaria and her idols, so will I do also to Jerusalem and her idols.

¹²And it shall come to pass, when the Lord shall have finished doing all things on Mount Sion and Jerusalem, that I will visit upon the proud heart, even upon the ruler of the Assyrians, and upon the boastful haughtiness of his eyes.

¹³For he said, I will act in strength, and in the wisdom of my understanding I will remove the boundaries of nations, and will spoil their strength.
