10:5 Assyria, the club I use to vent my anger, is as good as dead,
a cudgel with which I angrily punish.
10:6 I sent him
I ordered him to attack the people with whom I was angry,
to take plunder and to carry away loot,
to trample them down
10:15 Does an ax exalt itself over the one who wields it,
or a saw magnify itself over the one who cuts with it?
As if a scepter should brandish the one who raises it,
or a staff should lift up what is not made of wood!
37:26
Long ago I worked it out,
in ancient times I planned
and now I am bringing it to pass.
The plan is this:
Fortified cities will crash
into heaps of ruins.
46:11 who summons an eagle
from a distant land, one who carries out my plan.
Yes, I have decreed,
yes, I will bring it to pass;
I have formulated a plan,
yes, I will carry it out.
16:4 The Lord works
even the wicked for the day of disaster.
4:34 But at the end of the appointed time
I extolled the Most High,
and I praised and glorified the one who lives forever.
For his authority is an everlasting authority,
and his kingdom extends from one generation to the next.
4:35 All the inhabitants of the earth are regarded as nothing.
He does as he wishes with the army of heaven
and with those who inhabit the earth.
No one slaps
and says to him, ‘What have you done?’
