Isaiah 10:7-9

Lexham English Bible

⁷ But he does not think this,^[a]
    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?
⁹     Is not Calno like Carchemish?
    Is not Hamath like Arpad?
    Is not Samaria like Damascus?
