Isaiah:10:5-12
bbe@Isaiah:10:5 @Ho! Assyrian, the rod of my wrath, the instrument of my punishment!
bbe@Isaiah:10:6 @I will send him against a nation of wrongdoers, and against the people of my wrath I will give him orders, to take their wealth in war, crushing them down like the dust in the streets.
bbe@Isaiah:10:7 @But this is not what is in his mind, and this is not his design; but his purpose is destruction, and the cutting off of more and more nations.
bbe@Isaiah:10:8 @For he says, Are not all my captains kings?
bbe@Isaiah:10:9 @Will not the fate of Calno be like that of Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
bbe@Isaiah:10:10 @As my hand has come on the kingdoms of the images, whose pictured images were more in number than those of Jerusalem and Samaria;
bbe@Isaiah:10:11 @So, as I have done to Samaria and her images, I will do to Jerusalem and her images.
bbe@Isaiah:10:12 @For this cause it will be that, when the purpose of the Lord against Mount Zion and Jerusalem is complete, I will send punishment on the pride of the heart of the king of Assyria, and on the glory of his uplifted eyes.
