Isaiah

Isaiah 10:6–12

⁶I will send him against a godless nation;

I will dispatch him against a people destined for My rage,

to take spoils and seize plunder,

and to trample them down like clay in the streets.

⁷But this is not his intention;

this is not his plan.

For it is in his heart to destroy

and cut off many nations.

⁸“Are not all my commanders kings?” he says.

⁹“Is not Calno like Carchemish?

Is not Hamath like Arpad?

Is not Samaria like Damascus?

¹⁰As my hand seized the idolatrous kingdoms

whose images surpassed those of Jerusalem and Samaria,

¹¹and as I have done to Samaria and its idols,

will I not also do to Jerusalem and her idols?”

¹²So when the Lord has completed all His work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, He will say, “I will punish the king of Assyria for the fruit of his arrogant heart and the proud look in his eyes.
