Isaiah 10:6-8

New Century Version

⁶ I send it to fight against a nation that is separated from God.
    I am angry with those people,
    so I command Assyria to fight against them,
to take their wealth from them,
    to trample them down like dirt in the streets.
⁷ But Assyria’s king doesn’t understand that I am using him;
    he doesn’t know he is a tool for me.
He only wants to destroy other people
    and to defeat many nations.
⁸ The king of Assyria says to himself,
    ‘All of my commanders are like kings.
