Isaiah 10:17-24

¹⁷And the light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: wasting and burning up his thorns in one day.

¹⁸And he will put an end to the glory of his woods and of his planted fields, soul and body together; and it will be as when a man is wasted by disease.

¹⁹And the rest of the trees of his wood will be small in number, so that a child may put them down in writing.

²⁰And it will be in that day that the rest of Israel, and those of Jacob who have come safely through these troubles, will no longer go for help to him whose rod was on their back, but their faith will be in the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.

²¹The rest, even the rest of Jacob, will come back to the Strong God.

²²For though your people, O Israel, are as the sand of the sea, only a small number will come back: for the destruction is fixed, overflowing in righteousness.

²³For the Lord, the Lord of armies, is about to make destruction complete in all the land.

²⁴For this cause the Lord, the Lord of armies, says, O my people living in Zion, have no fear of the Assyrian, even if his rod comes on your back, and his stick is lifted up as in Egypt.
