Isaiah 10:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ God says, “How terrible it will be for the king of Assyria.
    I use him like a stick.
    In anger I use Assyria like a club.
⁶ I send it to fight against a nation that is separated from God.
    I am angry with those people.
    So I command Assyria to fight against them.
Assyria will take their wealth from them.
    Judah will become like dirt for them to walk on in the streets.
⁷ But Assyria’s king doesn’t understand that I am using him.
    He doesn’t know he is a tool for me.
He only wants to destroy other people.
    He plans to destroy many nations.
