Isaiah 10:5-7

English Standard Version

⁵ Woe to Assyria, ^(A)the rod of my anger;
    the staff in their hands is my fury!
⁶ Against a ^(B)godless nation I send him,
    and against the people of my wrath I command him,
to take ^(C)spoil and seize plunder,
    and to ^(D)tread them down like the mire of the streets.
⁷ But he ^(E)does not so intend,
    and his heart does not so think;
but it is in his heart to destroy,
    and to cut off nations not a few;
