Isaiah 10:4-6

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴ Nothing remains but to crouch among the prisoners
    or fall among the slain.
For all this his anger is not turned away
    and his hand is stretched out still.

⁵ Ah, Assyria, the rod of my anger,
    the staff of my fury!^[a]
6 Against a godless nation I send him,
    and against the people of my wrath I command him,
to take spoil and seize plunder,
    and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
