In context
3And what will they do in the day of visitation? for affliction shall come to you from afar: and to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory,
4that ye may not fall into captivity? For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is yet exalted.
— Isaiah 10:5 —
6I will send my wrath against a sinful nation, and I will charge my people to take plunder and spoil, and to trample the cities, and to make them dust.
7But he meant not thus, neither did he devise thus in his soul: but his mind shall change, and that to destroy nations not a few.
