Isaiah 10:6

I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

I will send him. "Kings' hearts are in the hand of the Lord" ().

Against an hypocritical - polluted (Horsley). But see , chaneeph, 'hypocrite,' which supports the English version here.

Nation - Judah, against whom Sennacherib was forming designs.

And against the people of my wrath - the objects of my wrath.

Will I give him a charge - (.)

And to tread them down like the mire. Horsley translates, 'and then to make him (the Assyrian) a trampling under foot like the mire of the streets' (so ; ; ). But see , in favour of the English version.
