Isa 10:3, WHAT WILL YOU DO IN THE DAY OF PUNISHMENT, AND IN THE DESOLATION WHICH WILL COME FROM AFAR? TO WHOM WILL YOU FLEE FOR HELP? AND WHERE WILL YOU LEAVE YOUR GLORY?
GOD CAN USE ANYONE even a wicked nation, Assyria, to bring judgement on HIS own people. WHAT WILL YOU DO? WHO WILL HELP YOU? This are HIS people, but Israel refuses to listen; Judgement is coming, Hab 1:5-11
Hab 1:5-6, “Look among the nations and watch—Be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days Which you would not believe, though it were told you. FOR INDEED I AM RAISING UP THE CHALDEANS, A BITTER AND HASTY NATION ….
Isa 10:4, WITHOUT ME THEY SHALL BOW DOWN AMONG THE PRISONERS, And they shall fall among the slain….
They forsook the LORD who protected them, Now they will be brought low!
Lev 26:17, I will set My face against you, and you shall be defeated by your enemies. Those who hate you shall reign over you, and you shall flee when no one pursues you.
Isa 10:5-6, “WOE TO ASSYRIA, THE ROD OF MY ANGER AND THE STAFF IN WHOSE HAND IS MY INDIGNATION.

Isa 10:8, For he says, ‘ARE NOT MY PRINCES ALTOGETHER KINGS?
2Ki 19:10-12, … ‘DO NOT LET YOUR GOD IN WHOM YOU TRUST DECEIVE YOU, saying, “Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.” LOOK!

Isa 10:15, SHALL THE AX BOAST ITSELF AGAINST HIM WHO CHOPS WITH IT? Or shall THE SAW EXALT ITSELF AGAINST HIM WHO SAWS WITH IT? AS IF A ROD COULD WIELD ITSELF AGAINST THOSE WHO LIFT IT UP, OR AS IF A STAFF COULD LIFT UP, AS IF IT WERE NOT WOOD!
if GOD uses you, do not boast or brag, but remember, GOD used a donkey to speak to balaam and HE can use you as well!
1Co 1:27, But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty;
