Isaiah 10:20-33

²⁰And it shall come to pass on that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall not farther lean for support upon him that smiteth them; but they shall lean upon the Lord, the Holy one of Israel, in truth.

²¹The remnant shall return, the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.

²²For though thy people Israel should be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant only of them shall return: destruction is decreed, it overfloweth with righteousness.

²³For it is completed and decreed: the Lord, the Eternal of hosts will do it in the midst of all the land.

²⁴Therefore thus hath said the Lord the Eternal of hosts, Be not afraid, O my people that dwellest in Zion, of Asshur, who will smite thee with the rod, and lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.

²⁵For yet but a very little while more, and the indignation shall cease, and my anger shall be for their destruction.

²⁶And the Lord shall lift up a scourge over him like at the smiting of Midian at the rock of 'Oreb: and as his staff was lifted over the sea, so will he carry him off after the manner of Egypt.

²⁷And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be removed from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be broken because of the fatness.

²⁸He cometh to 'Ayath, he passeth on to Migron; at Michmash he layeth up his baggage;

²⁹They go through the pass; they take up their lodging at Geba'; Ramah trembleth; Gib'ah of Saul fleeth.

³⁰Let thy voice resound, O daughter of Gallim; listen Layshah; O poor 'Anathoth!

³¹Madmenah is in motion; the inhabitants of Gebim are assembled to flee.

³²As yet today will he remain at Nob: then will he swing his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

³³Behold, the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, will lop off the fruitful bough with terrific might: and those of towering growth shall be hewn down, and the high shall be laid low.
