Isaiah 10:5

Judgment On Assyria's Arrogance

⁴
Nothing remains but to crouch among the captives
Or fall [dead] among the slain [on the battlefield].
In spite of all this, God’s anger does not turn away,
But His hand is still stretched out [in judgment]. ⁵ 
Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger [against Israel],
The staff in whose hand is My indignation and fury [against Israel’s disobedience]!
⁶
I send Assyria against a godless nation
And commission it against the people of My wrath
To take the spoil and to seize the plunder,
And to trample them down like mud in the streets.

And they leave what they have left [of wealth] to their children.

Is the axe able to lift itself over the one who chops with it?

Or like a staff raising him who is not [made of] wood [like itself]!
