Isaiah 10:5-7 NIV

[5] “Woe to the Assyrian, the rod of my anger, in whose hand is the club of my wrath! [6] I send him against a godless nation, I dispatch him against a people who anger me, to seize loot and snatch plunder, and to trample them down like mud in the streets. [7] But this is not what he intends, this is not what he has in mind; his purpose is to destroy, to put an end to many nations.
