Isaiah 10:21-31

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.

²⁷At that time he will remove the burden from your shoulders and the yoke from your neck. The yoke will be broken because of the anointing with oil.

²⁸The Assyrians came to Aiath, passed through Migron, and stored their supplies at Michmash.

²⁹They cross the pass, saying, “We'll stay overnight at Geba.” The people of Ramah tremble in fear; the inhabitants of Gibeah of Saul run away.

³⁰Shout out a warning, people of Gallim! Pay attention, those living in Laishah! You poor people of Anathoth!

³¹The people of Madmenah, are all running away. The inhabitants of Gebim are looking for somewhere safe.
