Arrogant Assyria Also Judged

⁵ Ah, Assyria, the rod of my anger—
   the club in their hands is my fury!
⁶ Against a godless nation I send him,
   and against the people of my wrath I command him,
to take spoil and seize plunder,
   and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
⁷ But this is not what he intends,
   nor does he have this in mind;
but it is in his heart to destroy,
   and to cut off nations not a few.
