Isaiah 10:5-11

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.

¹¹Whether not as I did to Samaria, and to the idols thereof, so I shall do to Jerusalem, and to the simulacra thereof?
