Isaiah 10:6-14 I will send him against an ungodly nation, and against the people of My wrath. I will command him to plunder, and to strip off spoil, and to trample them like the mud of the streets.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ I will send him against an ungodly nation, and against the people of My wrath. I will command him to plunder, and to strip off spoil, and to trample them like the mud of the streets. ⁷ Yet he does not purpose this, nor does his heart think so. For it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off not a few nations. ⁸ For he says, Are not my commanders all like kings? ⁹ Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is Hamath not like Arpad? Is Samaria not like Damascus? ¹⁰ As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols (for their carved images excelled Jerusalem's and Samaria's); ¹¹ shall I not do to Jerusalem and her idols as I have done to Samaria and her idols? ¹² And it will be, when the Lord has broken off all His work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will visit on the fruit of the proud heart of the king of Assyria, and on the glory of his lofty eyes. ¹³ For he says, I have worked by the strength of my hand and by my wisdom; for I am wise. And I take away the borders of peoples, and have robbed their treasures. And like a mighty one, I subdue inhabitants. ¹⁴ And my hand has found the riches of the people. Like a nest, I also have gathered all the earth, as forsaken eggs are gathered. And there was not one moving a wing, or opening a mouth, or one chirping.
