Isaiah 10:6-7
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.

Isaiah 45:1-3
New American Standard Bible 1995
God Uses Cyrus
45 Thus says the Lord to (A)Cyrus His anointed,
Whom I have taken by the right (B)hand,
To (C)subdue nations before him
And [a]to (D)loose the loins of kings;
To open doors before him so that gates will not be shut:
2 “I will go before you and (E)make the [b]rough places smooth;
I will (F)shatter the doors of bronze and cut through their iron (G)bars.
3 “I will give you the [c](H)treasures of darkness
And hidden wealth of secret places,
So that you may know that it is I,
The Lord, the God of Israel, who (I)calls you by your name.
