NASB
"Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger And the staff in whose hands is My indignation,"
— Isaiah 10:5, NASB
“O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.”
“ Ho Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, the staff in whose hand is mine indignation! ”
“Alas Assyrian, the rod of my anger, the staff in whose hand is my indignation!”
“The Lord Turns on Arrogant Assyria Beware, Assyria, the club I use to vent my anger, a cudgel with which I angrily punish.”
“Woe to the Assyrian, he is the rod and the staff of my anger, and my indignation is in their hands.”
“Ho! Assyrian, the rod of my wrath, the instrument of my punishment!”
“O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.”
