Isaiah 10:21-26

²¹A remnant will return, a remnant of Jacob will come back to the Mighty God.

²²Israel, even though your people are as numerous as sand on the seashore, only a remnant will return. The Lord has rightly decided to destroy his people.

²³The Lord God Almighty has rightly decided to bring destruction throughout the whole country.

²⁴So this is what the Lord, the Lord Almighty, says, My people living in Zion, don't be afraid of the Assyrians who beat you with rods and hit you with clubs, just like the Egyptians did.

²⁵Very shortly I will stop being angry with you. Then I will turn my anger on them and I will destroy them.

²⁶The Lord Almighty will lash them with a whip, just as he did when he attacked the Midianites at the rock of Oreb. He will hold up his rod over the sea, just as he did in Egypt.
