Assyria: The Rod of God's Anger

Isaiah 10:5-11
5
Woe to Asshur, a rod of Mine anger, And a staff in their hand is Mine indignation.
6
Against a profane nation I send him, And concerning a people of My wrath I charge him, To spoil spoil, and to seize prey, And to make it a treading-place as the clay of out places.
7
And he--he thinketh not so, And his heart reckoneth not so, For--to destroy is in his heart, And to cut off nations not a few.
8
For he saith, `Are not my princes altogether kings?
9
Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?
10
As my hand hath got to the kingdoms of a worthless thing, and their graven images, Greater than Jerusalem and than Samaria,
11
Do I not--as I have done to Samaria, And to her worthless things, So do to Jerusalem and to her grievous things?
