(Isa. 10:7)
Of course, the Lord knew that Sennacherib had no intention of accomplishing GOD’S purposes. The intent of his heart would be to destroy, desolate, and cut off many nations which would lie in his path. He would do it for what he thought were his own purposes.
(W. Cleon Skousen, Isaiah Speaks to Modern Times [Salt Lake City: Ensign Publishing Co., 1984], 232.)
