Isaiah 10:6-7

Context

10:6 I sent him 1  against a godless 2  nation,

I ordered him to attack the people with whom I was angry, 3 

to take plunder and to carry away loot,

to trample them down 4  like dirt in the streets.

10:7 But he does not agree with this,

his mind does not reason this way, 5 

for his goal is to destroy,

and to eliminate many nations. 6 

1 sn Throughout this section singular forms are used to refer to Assyria; perhaps the king of Assyria is in view (see v. 12).

2 tn Or “defiled”; cf. ASV “profane”; NAB “impious”; NCV “separated from God.”

3 tn Heb “and against the people of my anger I ordered him.”

4 tn Heb “to make it [i.e., the people] a trampled place.”

5 tn Heb “but he, not so does he intend, and his heart, not so does it think.”

6 tn Heb “for to destroy [is] in his heart, and to cut off nations, not a few.”
