Isaiah 10:1-6

New King James Version

Assyria Shall Be Broken

10 “Woe to those who ^(A)decree unrighteous decrees,
Who write misfortune,
Which they have prescribed
²To rob the needy of justice,
And to take what is right from the poor of My people,
That widows may be their prey,
And that they may rob the fatherless.
³^(B)What will you do in ^(C)the day of punishment,
And in the desolation which will come from ^(D)afar?
To whom will you flee for help?
And where will you leave your glory?
⁴Without Me they shall bow down among the ^(E)prisoners,
And they shall fall ^[a]among the slain.”

^(F)For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still.

Arrogant Assyria Also Judged

⁵“Woe to Assyria, ^(G)the rod of My anger
And the staff in whose hand is My indignation.
⁶I will send him against ^(H)an ungodly nation,
And against the people of My wrath
I will ^(I)give him charge,
To seize the spoil, to take the prey,
And to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
