Isaiah 10:4-10

⁴that ye be not bowed down under bond, and fall not down with slain men? On all these things his strong vengeance is not turned away, but yet his hand is stretched forth.

⁵Woe to Assur, he is the rod and staff of my strong vengeance; mine indignation is in the hand of them.

⁶I shall send him to a false folk, and I shall command to him against the people of my strong vengeance; that he take away the spoils, and part prey, and that he set or put that people into defouling, as the fen of streets.

⁷Forsooth he shall not deem so, and his heart shall not guess so, but his heart shall be for to all-break, and to the slaying of many folks.

⁸For he shall say, Whether my princes be not kings altogether?

⁹Whether not as Carchemish, so Calno; and as Arpad, so Hamath? whether not as Damascus, so Samaria?

¹⁰As mine hand found the realms of idols, so and the simulacra of them of Jerusalem and of Samaria.
