Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 10:6

_ _ send him — “Kings’ hearts are in the hand of the Lord” (Proverbs 21:1).

_ _ hypocritical — polluted [Horsley].

_ _ nation — Judah, against whom Sennacherib was forming designs.

_ _ of my wrath — objects of My wrath.

_ _ give ... charge — (Jeremiah 34:22).

_ _ and to tread, etc. — Horsley translates: “And then to make him (the Assyrian) a trampling under foot like the mire of the streets” (so Isaiah 10:12; Isaiah 33:1; Zechariah 10:5). But see Isaiah 37:26.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 10:5-19.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 10:6

Send him — By my providence, giving him both occasion and inclination to this expedition.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 10:6

I will send (f) him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I command him, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

(f) That is, the Assyrians against the Jews who are hypocrites. In the sixth and seventh verse is declared the difference of the work of God and of the wicked in one very thing and act: for God's intention is to chastise them for their amendment, and the Assyrians purpose is to destroy them to enrich themselves. Thus in respect to God's justice, it is God's work, but in respect to their own malice, it is the work of the devil.
