Isaiah 10:3-5

Revised Standard Version

³ What will you do on the day of punishment,
    in the storm which will come from afar?
To whom will you flee for help,
    and where will you leave your wealth?
⁴ Nothing remains but to crouch among the prisoners
    or fall among the slain.
For all this his anger is not turned away
    and his hand is stretched out still.

⁵ Ah, Assyria, the rod of my anger,
    the staff of my fury!^[a]
