Isaiah 36:10

That the Assyrian should represent himself as commissioned by Jehovah to avenge the desecration of his sanctuaries is not by any means incredible. A precisely similar sentiment is put into the mouth of Cyrus in his account of the conquest of Babylon. It expresses no serious religious conviction (see Isaiah 36:20); and the resemblance to Isaiah's teaching (ch. Isaiah 10:5 ff.) is either accidental, or is due to a Jewish colouring unconsciously imparted to the narrative by the writer.
