Isa 10:5-7 | ESV | STEP | Woe to Assyria , the rod of my anger ; the staff in their hands is my fury !

‏ Isaiah 10:5-7

Judgment on Arrogant Assyria

5 Woe to Assyria, ^athe rod of my anger;
the staff in their hands is my fury!
6 Against a ^bgodless nation I send him,
and against the people of my wrath I command him,
to take ^cspoil and seize plunder,
and to ^dtread them down like the mire of the streets.
7 But he ^edoes not so intend,
and his heart does not so think;
but it is in his heart to destroy,
and to cut off nations not a few;
