Isaiah 10:7-9

New Living Translation

⁷ But the king of Assyria will not understand that he is my tool;
    his mind does not work that way.
His plan is simply to destroy,
    to cut down nation after nation.
⁸ He will say,
    ‘Each of my princes will soon be a king.
⁹ We destroyed Calno just as we did Carchemish.
    Hamath fell before us as Arpad did.
    And we destroyed Samaria just as we did Damascus.
