*
Alas Assyrian ,
the rod of my anger ,
the staff in whose hand is my indignation !
*
I will send him against a profane nation ,
and against the people who anger me will I give him a command to take the spoil and to take the prey ,
and to tread them down like the mire of the streets .
*
However he doesn '
t mean so ,
neither does his heart think so ;
but it is in his heart to destroy ,
and to cut off not a few nations .
*
For he says , "
Aren '
t all of my princes kings ?
*
Isn '
t Calno like Carchemish ?
Isn '
t Hamath like Arpad ?
Isn '
t Samaria like Damascus ?"
*
As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols ,
whose engraved images exceeded those of Jerusalem and of Samaria ;
*
shall I not ,
as I have done to Samaria and her idols ,
so do to Jerusalem and her idols ?
*
Therefore it will happen that ,
when the Lord has performed his whole work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem ,
I will punish the fruit of the willful proud heart of the king of Assyria ,
and the insolence of his haughty looks .
