Isaiah 10:6-8

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁶ I send it against a ^(A)godless nation
And commission it against the ^(B)people of My fury
To capture booty and ^(C)to seize plunder,
And to ^[a]trample them down like ^(D)mud in the streets.
⁷ Yet it ^(E)does not so intend,
Nor does ^[b]it plan so in its heart,
But rather it is ^[c]its purpose to destroy
And to cut off ^[d]many nations.
⁸ For it says, “Are not my princes ^[e]all kings?
