Isaías 10:7 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 10:7

Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so,
&c.] His purposes, intentions, and thoughts, were not as the Lord's; he did not imagine that he was only the rod of his anger, and the staff of his indignation, a minister of his wrath, and the executioner of his vengeance; he thought he was his own lord and master, and acted by his own power, and according to his own will, and was not under the direction and restraints of another; his intention was not to chastise and correct the people of the Jews, but utterly to destroy them, and not them only, but many other nations; as follows: but [it is] in his heart to destroy and cut off nations, not a few;
not the nation of the Jews only, but many others, and so establish an universal monarchy; and what flushed him with hope and expectation of success were the magnificence of his princes, and the conquests he had already made.

6 Contra una nación impía la envío y contra el pueblo de mi furor la mandaré, para que capture botín y tome despojos y los pisotee como el lodo de las calles.

7 Pero ella no tiene tal intento, ni piensa así en su corazón, sino que su intención es destruir y exterminar no pocas naciones.

8 Porque dice: ¿No son mis príncipes todos ellos reyes?

9 ¿No es Calno como Carquemis? ¿No es Hamat como Arfad? ¿No es Samaria como Damasco?
