Isaiah 10:5

Read in context

Isaiah 10:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

3 What will you do on the day of reckoning when devastation comes from afar? To whom will you flee for help? Where will you leave your wealth?

4 Nothing will remain but to crouch among the captives or fall among the slain. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.

5 Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger; the staff in their hands is My wrath.

6 I will send him against a godless nation; I will dispatch him against a people destined for My rage, to take spoils and seize plunder, and to trample them down like clay in the streets.

7 But this is not his intention; this is not his plan. For it is in his heart to destroy and cut off many nations.
