Isaiah 10:6-8

Lexham English Bible

⁶ I send him against a godless nation,
    and I command him against the people of my wrath,
to capture spoil
    and to carry off plunder,
and to make them^[a] a trampling place,
    like the clay of the streets.
⁷ But he does not think this,^[b]
    and his heart does not plan this.
For it is in his heart to destroy
    and to cut off not a few nations.
⁸ For he says, “Are not my commanders altogether kings?
