Isaiah 10:7-13

Isaiah 10:7-13 CSB

But this is not what he intends; this is not what he plans. It is his intent to destroy and to cut off many nations. For he says, “Aren’t all my commanders kings? Isn’t Calno like Carchemish? Isn’t Hamath like Arpad? Isn’t Samaria  like Damascus?  As my hand seized the kingdoms of worthless images, kingdoms whose idols exceeded those of Jerusalem and Samaria, and as I did to Samaria and its worthless images will I not also do to Jerusalem and its idols? ”  But when the Lord finishes all his work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, he will say, “I  will punish the king of Assyria for his arrogant acts and the proud look in his eyes.”  For he said: I have done this by my own strength and wisdom, for I am clever. I abolished the borders of nations and plundered their treasures;  like a mighty warrior, I subjugated the inhabitants.
