⁶ I will send him against a godless nation;
I will command him to go
against a people destined for my rage,
to take spoils, to plunder,^(A)
and to trample them down like clay^(B) in the streets.

⁷ But this is not what he intends;
this is not what he plans.
It is his intent to destroy
and to cut off many nations.
