Isaiah:10:5-12
Seeker Overlay ON
* "
Woe to Assyria ,
the rod of My anger And the staff in whose hand is My indignation .
*
I will send him against an ungodly nation ,
And against the people of My wrath I will give him charge ,
To seize the spoil ,
to take the prey ,
And to tread them down like the mire of the streets .
*
Yet he does not mean so ,
Nor does his heart think so ;
But it is in his heart to destroy ,
And cut off not a few nations .
*
For he says , "
Are not my princes altogether kings ?
*
Is not Calno like Carchemish ?
Is not Hamath like Arpad ?
Is not Samaria like Damascus ?
*
As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols ,
Whose carved images excelled those of Jerusalem and Samaria ,
*
As I have done to Samaria and her idols ,
Shall I not do also to Jerusalem and her idols ?"'
*
Therefore it shall come to pass ,
when the Lord has performed all His work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem ,
that He will say , "
I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria ,
and the glory of his haughty looks ."
