Isaiah 10:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ Doom to Assyria, rod of my anger,
    in whose hand is the staff of my fury!
⁶ Against a godless nation I send him;
    against an infuriating people
    I direct him to seize spoil, to steal plunder,
    and to trample them like mud in the streets.
⁷ But he has other plans;
    he schemes in secret;
    destruction is on his mind,
    extermination of nation after nation.
