Assyria: The Rod of God's Anger

Isaiah 10:5-11

"Oh Ashur, the rod expressing my anger! The club in their hands is my fury!

I am sending him against a hypocritical nation, ordering him to march against a people who enrage me, to take the spoil and the plunder and trample them down like mud in the street.

That is not what Ashur intends, that is not what they think; rather, they mean to destroy, to cut down nation after nation.

For [their king] says, 'Aren't all my commanders kings?

Hasn't Kalno [suffered] like Kark'mish, Hamat like Arpad, Shomron like Dammesek?

Just as my hand reached the kingdoms of non-gods, with more images than in Yerushalayim and Shomron;

so won't I do to Yerushalayim and her non-gods what I did to Shomron and her idols?'"
