Isaiah 10:6 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Isaiah 10:6

4 Without Me they shall bow down among the ^aprisoners,
And they shall fall¹ among the slain.”
^bFor all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still.

5 “Woe to Assyria, ^athe rod of My anger
And the staff in whose hand is My indignation.

6 I will send him against ^aan ungodly nation,
And against the people of My wrath
I will ^bgive him charge,
To seize the spoil, to take the prey,
And to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

7 ^aYet he does not mean so,
Nor does his heart think so;
But it is in his heart to destroy,
And cut off not a few nations.

8 ^aFor he says,
‘Are not my princes altogether kings?

9 Is not ^aCalno ^blike Carchemish?
Is not Hamath like Arpad?
Is not Samaria ^clike Damascus?

10 As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols,
Whose carved images excelled those of Jerusalem and Samaria,

11 As I have done to Samaria and her idols,
Shall I not do also to Jerusalem and her idols?’ ”

12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Lord has¹ performed all His work ^aon Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, that He will say, ^b“I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his haughty looks.”

13 ^aFor he says:
“By the strength of my hand I have done it,
And by my wisdom, for I am prudent;
Also I have removed the boundaries of the people,
And have robbed their treasuries;
So I have put down the inhabitants like a¹ valiant man.

14 ^aMy hand has found like a nest the riches of the people,
And as one gathers eggs that are left,
I have gathered all the earth;
And there was no one who moved his wing,
Nor opened his mouth with even a peep.”

15 Shall ^athe ax boast itself against him who chops with it?
Or shall the saw exalt itself against him who saws with it?
As if a rod could wield itself against those who lift it up,
Or as if a staff could lift up, as if it were not wood!

16 Therefore the Lord, the¹ Lord of hosts,
Will send leanness among his fat ones;
And under his glory
He will kindle a burning
Like the burning of a fire.
