Isaiah 10:20-34

The Remnant of Israel 20In that day the remnant of Israel, the survivors of Jacob, will no longer rely on him who struck them down but will truly rely on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.

21A remnant will return, Hebrew shear-jashub (see 7:3 and note); also in verse 22 a remnant of Jacob will return to the Mighty God.

22Though your people be like the sand by the sea, Israel, only a remnant will return. Destruction has been decreed, overwhelming and righteous.

23The Lord, the LORD Almighty, will carry out the destruction decreed upon the whole land.

24Therefore this is what the Lord, the LORD Almighty, says: “My people who live in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrians, who beat you with a rod and lift up a club against you, as Egypt did.

25Very soon my anger against you will end and my wrath will be directed to their destruction.”

26The LORD Almighty will lash them with a whip, as when he struck down Midian at the rock of Oreb; and he will raise his staff over the waters, as he did in Egypt.

27In that day their burden will be lifted from your shoulders, their yoke from your neck; the yoke will be broken because you have grown so fat. Hebrew; Septuagint broken / from your shoulders

28They enter Aiath; they pass through Migron; they store supplies at Mikmash.

29They go over the pass, and say, “We will camp overnight at Geba.” Ramah trembles; Gibeah of Saul flees.

30Cry out, Daughter Gallim! Listen, Laishah! Poor Anathoth!

31Madmenah is in flight; the people of Gebim take cover.

32This day they will halt at Nob; they will shake their fist at the mount of Daughter Zion, at the hill of Jerusalem.

33See, the Lord, the LORD Almighty, will lop off the boughs with great power. The lofty trees will be felled, the tall ones will be brought low. 34He will cut down the forest thickets with an ax; Lebanon will fall before the Mighty One.
