Isaiah 10:4-6

Good News Translation

⁴ You will be killed in battle or dragged off as prisoners. Yet even so the Lord's anger will not be ended; his hand will still be stretched out to punish.

The Emperor of Assyria as the Instrument of God

^5 (A)The Lord said, “Assyria! I use Assyria like a club to punish those with whom I am angry. ⁶ I sent Assyria to attack a godless nation, people who have made me angry. I sent them to loot and steal and trample the people like dirt in the streets.”
