Isaiah / Yesha'yahu [Salvation of Yah] 10:4-9

⁴They will only bow down under the prisoners, and will fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

⁵Alas Assyrian, the rod of my anger, the staff in whose hand is my indignation!

⁶I will send him against a profane nation, and against the people who anger me will I give him a enjoin to take the plunder and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

⁷However he does not mean so, neither does his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off not a few nations.

⁸For he says, “Are not all of my princes kings?

⁹Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus Bucket of blood?”
