⁶ I send him against a godless^(A) nation,
    I dispatch^(B) him against a people who anger me,^(C)
to seize loot and snatch plunder,^(D)
    and to trample^(E) them down like mud in the streets.

⁷ But this is not what he intends,^(A)
    this is not what he has in mind;
his purpose is to destroy,
    to put an end to many nations.
