Isaiah 10:5-7

5“What sorrow awaits Assyria, the rod of my anger. I use it as a club to express my anger.

6I am sending Assyria against a godless nation, against a people with whom I am angry. Assyria will plunder them, trampling them like dirt beneath its feet.

7But the king of Assyria will not understand that he is my tool; his mind does not work that way. His plan is simply to destroy, to cut down nation after nation.
