Judgement on Assyria for his pride heart and haughty look

Isaiah 10:5-19
Assyrian is the rod of God's anger, in whose hand is the club of God's wrath!
God send him against a godless nation, dispatch him against a people who anger the Lord.
But this is not what Assyria intends, this is not what he has in mind his purpose is to destroy, to put a end to many nations.
When the Lord has finished all his work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, he will say, "I will punish the king of Assyria for the willful pride of his heart and the haughty look in his eyes."
The Light of Israel will become a fire their Holy One a flame; in a single day it will burn and consume his thorns and his briers.
Why?
God makes use of a proud and cruel nation to punish his people. But the emperor's arrogant boast does not go unchallenged and Assyria's excessive ferocity is ot excused: it will be punished.
Assyria seized the kingdoms of the idols, so he dealt with Jerusalem and her images a s dealt with Samaria and her idols. The Light of Israel is different as other nation's God.
How?
Humble myself in present of the Lord, I am his servant. Confess I am a sinner and need his salvation and blessing. What I can proud is proud of the Jesus Christ in me.
