Isaiah 10:5-7

New American Standard Bible

⁵ Woe to ^(A)Assyria, the ^(B)rod of My anger
And the staff in whose hands is ^(C)My indignation,
⁶ I send it against a ^(D)godless nation
And commission it against the ^(E)people of My fury
To capture spoils and ^(F)to seize plunder,
And to ^[a]trample them down like ^(G)mud in the streets.
⁷ Yet it ^(H)does not so intend,
Nor does ^[b]it plan so in its heart,
But rather it is ^[c]its purpose to destroy
And to eliminate ^[d]many nations.
