This phrase refers to God's use of Assyria as an instrument of judgment against Israel, which had turned away from God and embraced idolatry. The term "godless nation" highlights Israel's spiritual apostasy. Historically, the Northern Kingdom of Israel had fallen into idolatry and moral decay, as seen in <a href="/2_kings/17-7.htm">2 Kings 17:7-18</a>. This reflects the biblical theme of God using foreign nations to discipline His people, as seen in <a href="/habakkuk/1-6.htm">Habakkuk 1:6-11</a>, where God raises the Chaldeans for a similar purpose.I will dispatch him against a people destined for My rage, Here, "dispatch" indicates God's sovereign control over the events, emphasizing His authority over nations. The "people destined for My rage" refers to Israel, who, due to their persistent disobedience, were subject to divine wrath. This aligns with <a href="/deuteronomy/28-15.htm">Deuteronomy 28:15-68</a>, where God outlines the curses for disobedience, including conquest by foreign powers. The concept of divine rage underscores God's holiness and justice, as seen in <a href="/nahum/1-2.htm">Nahum 1:2-3</a>.to take spoils and seize plunder, This phrase describes the Assyrian invasion's material consequences, where the conquerors would strip the land of its wealth. Historically, Assyrian campaigns were known for their brutality and thoroughness in plundering conquered territories, as evidenced by archaeological findings and Assyrian records. This action fulfills the warnings given in <a href="/deuteronomy/28-49.htm">Deuteronomy 28:49-52</a> about foreign nations consuming Israel's resources.and to trample them down like clay in the streets. The imagery of trampling "like clay in the streets" conveys utter defeat and humiliation. Clay, being easily crushed, symbolizes the vulnerability and helplessness of Israel before the Assyrian might. This metaphor is consistent with the prophetic language used in <a href="/isaiah/41-25.htm">Isaiah 41:25</a> and <a href="/daniel/2-34.htm">Daniel 2:34-35</a>, where nations are depicted as fragile before God's purposes.

The verb admits of the various renderings, "I will send," "I did send," and "I am wont to send." The last seems to give the best meaning--not a mere fact in history, nor an isolated prediction, but a law of the Divine government.To take the spoil.--The series of words, though general in meaning, contains probably a special reference to the recent destruction of Samaria, walls pulled down, houses and palaces turned into heaps of rubbish, the soldiers trampling on flower and fruit gardens, this was what the Assyrian army left behind it. Judah had probably suffered in the same way in the hands of Sargon.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/isaiah/10.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 6. - I will send him against an hypocritical nation; or, against a corrupt nation. Israel in the wider sense, inclusive of Judah, seems to be intended. The people of my wrath; i.e. "the people who are the object of my wrath." Will I give him a charge. In <a href="/2_kings/18-25.htm">2 Kings 18:25</a> Sennacherib nays, "Am I come up without the Lord (Jehovah) against thin, lace, to destroy it? The Lord (Jehovah) said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it" (compare below, <a href="/isaiah/36-10.htm">Isaiah 36:10</a>). It has been usual to consider Sennacherib's words a vain boast; but if God instructed Nebuchadnezzar through dreams, may he not also by the same means have "given charges" to Assyrian monarchs? To take the spoil, and to take the prey; rather, to gather spoil, and seize prey. The terms used carry the thoughts back to <a href="/isaiah/8-1.htm">Isaiah 8:1-4</a>, and to the symbolic name, Maher-shalal-hash-baz. And to tread them down; literally, to make it a trampling. "It" refers to "nation" in the first clause. <a href="/commentaries/isaiah/10-6.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>I will send him אֲשַׁלְּחֶ֔נּוּ (’ă·šal·lə·ḥen·nū) Verb - Piel - Imperfect - first person common singular | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7971.htm">Strong's 7971: </a> To send away, for, out against a godless חָנֵף֙ (ḥā·nêp̄) Adjective - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2611.htm">Strong's 2611: </a> Profane, irreligious nation; בְּג֤וֹי (bə·ḡō·w) Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1471.htm">Strong's 1471: </a> A foreign nation, a Gentile, a troop of animals, a flight of locusts I will dispatch him אֲצַוֶּ֑נּוּ (’ă·ṣaw·wen·nū) Verb - Piel - Imperfect - first person common singular | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6680.htm">Strong's 6680: </a> To lay charge (upon), give charge (to), command, order against וְעַל־ (wə·‘al-) Conjunctive waw | Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against a people עַ֥ם (‘am) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5971.htm">Strong's 5971: </a> A people, a tribe, troops, attendants, a flock destined for My rage, עֶבְרָתִ֖י (‘eḇ·rā·ṯî) Noun - feminine singular construct | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5678.htm">Strong's 5678: </a> Overflow, arrogance, fury to take לִשְׁלֹ֤ל (liš·lōl) Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7997.htm">Strong's 7997: </a> To drop, strip, to plunder spoils שָׁלָל֙ (šā·lāl) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7998.htm">Strong's 7998: </a> A prey, spoil, plunder, booty and seize וְלָבֹ֣ז (wə·lā·ḇōz) Conjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_962.htm">Strong's 962: </a> To spoil, plunder plunder, בַּ֔ז (baz) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_957.htm">Strong's 957: </a> Spoiling, robbery, spoil, booty and to trample them down וּלְשׂוּמ֥וֹ (ū·lə·śū·mōw) Conjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7760.htm">Strong's 7760: </a> Put -- to put, place, set like clay כְּחֹ֥מֶר (kə·ḥō·mer) Preposition-k | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2563.htm">Strong's 2563: </a> A bubbling up, of water, a wave, of earth, mire, clay, a heap, a chomer, dry measure in the streets. חוּצֽוֹת׃ (ḥū·ṣō·wṯ) Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2351.htm">Strong's 2351: </a> Separate by a, wall, outside, outdoors <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/isaiah/10-6.htm">Isaiah 10:6 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/isaiah/10-6.htm">Isaiah 10:6 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/isaiah/10-6.htm">Isaiah 10:6 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/isaiah/10-6.htm">Isaiah 10:6 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/isaiah/10-6.htm">Isaiah 10:6 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/isaiah/10-6.htm">Isaiah 10:6 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/isaiah/10-6.htm">Isaiah 10:6 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/isaiah/10-6.htm">Isaiah 10:6 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/isaiah/10-6.htm">Isaiah 10:6 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/isaiah/10-6.htm">Isaiah 10:6 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/isaiah/10-6.htm">OT Prophets: Isaiah 10:6 I will send him against a profane (Isa Isi Is)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/isaiah/10-5.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Isaiah 10:5"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Isaiah 10:5" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/isaiah/10-7.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Isaiah 10:7"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Isaiah 10:7" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
