Isaiah 10:6-8

New Catholic Bible

⁶ Against a godless people I send him forth,
    against a nation who aroused my wrath,
commanding him to pillage and plunder
    and to trample on them like mud in the street.
⁷ But this is not his intention,
    nor does he have this in mind.
His only thought is complete destruction
    and to liquidate as many nations as possible.
⁸ For he says,
    “Are not my commanders all kings?
