New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
34 “King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon has devoured me;

he has swallowed me like a monster;
he has filled his belly with my delicacies;
he has spewed me out.(A)

Isaiah 10:6-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 Against a godless nation I send him,
and against the people of my wrath I command him,
to take spoil and seize plunder,
and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.(A)
7 But this is not what he intends,
nor does he have this in mind,
but it is in his heart to destroy
and to cut off nations not a few.(B)
8 For he says:
“Are not my commanders all kings?(C)
9 Is not Calno like Carchemish?
Is not Hamath like Arpad?
Is not Samaria like Damascus?(D)
10 As my hand has reached to the kingdoms of the idols
whose images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,(E)
11 shall I not do to Jerusalem and her idols
what I have done to Samaria and her images?”
12 When the Lord has finished all his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, he[a] will punish the arrogant boasting of the king of Assyria and his haughty pride.(F) 13 For he says:
“By the strength of my hand I have done it,
and by my wisdom, for I have understanding;
I have removed the boundaries of peoples
and have plundered their treasures;
like a bull I have brought down those who sat on thrones.(G)
14 My hand has found, like a nest,
the wealth of the peoples,
and as one gathers eggs that have been forsaken,
so I have gathered all the earth,
and there was none that moved a wing
or opened its mouth or chirped.”(H)

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.

this is not what he has in mind;
his purpose is to destroy,
to put an end to many nations.

kingdoms whose images excelled those of Jerusalem and Samaria—

“‘By the strength of my hand(U) I have done this,(V)
and by my wisdom, because I have understanding.
I removed the boundaries of nations,
I plundered their treasures;(W)
like a mighty one I subdued[a] their kings.(X)
14 As one reaches into a nest,(Y)
so my hand reached for the wealth(Z) of the nations;
as people gather abandoned eggs,
so I gathered all the countries;(AA)
not one flapped a wing,
or opened its mouth to chirp.(AB)’”
