"For he will say:"
— Isaiah 10:8, Catholic Public Domain Version
“For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings?”
“For he saith, Are not my princes all of them kings? ”
“For he says, "Aren't all of my princes kings?”
“Indeed, he says:“Are not my officials all kings?”
“For he shall say:”
“For he says, Are not all my captains kings?”
“For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings?”
Woe to Assur! He is the rod and the staff of my fury, and my indignation is in their hands.
I will send him to a deceitful nation, and I will order him against the people of my fury, so that he may take away the plunder, and tear apart the prey, and place it to be trampled like the mud of the streets.
But he will not consider it to be so, and his heart will not suppose it to be this way. Instead, his heart will be set to crush and to exterminate more than a few nations.
For he will say:
“Are not my princes like many kings? Is not Calno like Carchemish, and Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?
In the same manner as my hand reached the kingdoms of the idol, so also will it reach their false images, those of Jerusalem and of Samaria.
Should I not do to Jerusalem and her false images, just as I have done to Samaria and her idols?”
