Isaiah 10:3-5

New Century Version

³ How will you explain the things you have done?
    What will you do when your destruction comes from far away?
Where will you run for help?
    Where will you hide your riches then?
⁴ You will have to bow down among the captives
    or fall down among the dead bodies.
But the Lord is still angry;
    his hand is still raised to strike down the people.

⁵ God says, “How terrible it will be for the king of Assyria.
    I use him like a rod to show my anger;
    in anger I use Assyria like a club.
