    I am sending Assyria against a nation that refuses to act rightly,
        delegating it to humble a people who have frustrated
        and infuriated Me by their blithe dismissal.
    Assyria will snatch their wealth, seize their treasures,
        and trample over them like mud in the streets.

But they will get cocky. Assyria has its own intentions for destruction,
    to move against other people and other places to cut them down.
8-9 The victories make them think they’re invincible:
    The king of Assyria says:
    “Aren’t all of my princes destined to be kings?
Calno fell just like Carchemish.
    I took Hamath as easily as Arpad. Samaria, too, fell like Damascus.

I send him against a godless(A) nation,
    I dispatch(B) him against a people who anger me,(C)
to seize loot and snatch plunder,(D)
    and to trample(E) them down like mud in the streets.
But this is not what he intends,(F)
    this is not what he has in mind;
his purpose is to destroy,
    to put an end to many nations.
‘Are not my commanders(G) all kings?’ he says.
    ‘Has not Kalno(H) fared like Carchemish?(I)
Is not Hamath(J) like Arpad,(K)
    and Samaria(L) like Damascus?(M)

I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.

For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings?

Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
