Isaiah 10:5-7

Contemporary English Version

The Lord's Purpose and the King of Assyria

^5 (A) The Lord says:

I am furious! And I will use the king of Assyria^[a] as a club ⁶ to beat down you godless people. I am angry with you, and I will send him to attack you. He will take what he wants and walk on you like mud in the streets. ⁷ He has even bigger plans in mind, because he wants to destroy many nations.
