John Trapp on Isaiah 10:6

Ver. 6. I will ſend him — I will give him a charge] Non patefactâ quidem voluntate, ſed arcanâ providentiâ, I will ſtir him up by a ſecret providence, which (being nothing elſe but the carrying on of the divine decree) is that Helm that turneth about the whole Ship of the Ʋniverſe.

Againſt an hypocritial nation] Pretenders only to religion (ſee chap. 9.17.) qui toti ex hypocriſi ſunt conflati, ſuch as are wholly made up of hypocriſie: God was near in their mouth, and far from their reins, Jer. 12.2. Nemo tam propè proculque Deo. Mat. 15.8. hot Meteors they are, ſaith One, ſhooting, yet ſhewing like ſtars: ſhaming goodneſs by ſeeming good; virtutis ſtragulam pudefaciunt, as Diogenes ſaid to Antipater, who, being vitious, wore a white cloke the enſign of innocency. Theſe are little better then Devils wrapt up in Samuels mantle: odious therefore to God, whom they would cozen of Heaven, if they could tell how.

And againſt the people of my wrath] Who are therefore the worſe (and ſhall fare the worſe) becauſe they ought to have been better. Indignation and wrath ſhall be upon the Jew firſt (becauſe of his priviledges) and then upon the Gentile, Rom. 2.9.

To take the ſpoil, and to take the prey] As had been foretold in Maher-ſhalal-haſh-baz his name, chap. 8.1.

And to tread them down like mire in the ſtreets] To make morter of them, as we uſe to ſay; Gens ſimulatrix tota terrena, is trodden under foot as unſavoury ſalt, which is not good enough for the dunghil.
