Isaiah 10:22-34

American Standard Version

²² For though thy people, Israel, be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant ^[a]of them shall return: a destruction is determined, overflowing with righteousness. ²³ For a full end, and that determined, will the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, make in the midst of all the ^[b]earth.

²⁴ Therefore thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of ^[c]the Assyrian, though he smite thee with the rod, and lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt. ²⁵ For yet a very little while, and the indignation against thee shall be accomplished, and mine anger shall be directed to his destruction. ²⁶ And Jehovah of hosts will stir up against him a scourge, as in the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and ^[d]his rod will be over the sea, and he will lift it up after the manner of Egypt. ²⁷ And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall depart from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed by reason of ^[e]fatness.

²⁸ He is come to Aiath, he is passed through Migron; at Michmash he layeth up his baggage; ²⁹ they are gone over the pass; ^[f]they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah trembleth; Gibeah of Saul is fled. ³⁰ Cry aloud with thy voice, O daughter of Gallim! hearken, O Laishah! O thou poor Anathoth! ³¹ Madmenah is a fugitive; the inhabitants of Gebim ^[g]flee for safety. ³² This very day shall he halt at Nob: he shaketh his hand at the mount of the ^[h]daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

³³ Behold, the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, will lop the boughs with terror: and the high of stature shall be hewn down, and the lofty shall be brought low. ³⁴ And he will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
