Isaiah 10:24-34 ▼

24 Therefore, thus said the Lord, YHWH of Hosts: “Do not be afraid, My people, inhabiting Zion, because of Asshur, || He strikes you with a rod, || And his staff lifts up against you, in the way of Egypt.

25 For yet a very little [while], || And the indignation has been completed, || And My anger by their wearing out.”

26 And YHWH of Hosts is awaking for him, || A scourge like the striking of Midian at the rock Oreb, || And his rod [is] over the sea, || And he has lifted it in the way of Egypt.

27 And it has come to pass in that day, || His burden is turned from off your shoulder, || And his yoke from off your neck, || And the yoke has been destroyed, because of prosperity.

28 He has come in against Aiath, || He has passed over into Migron, || At Michmash he looks after his vessels.

29 They have gone over the passage, || They have made Geba a lodging place, || Rama has trembled, || Gibeah of Saul fled.

30 Cry aloud [with] your voice, daughter of Gallim, || Give attention, Laish! Answer her, Anathoth.

31 Madmenah has fled away, || The inhabitants of the high places have hardened themselves.

32 Yet today to remain in Nob, || The mountain of the daughter of Zion waves its hand, || The hill of Jerusalem.

33 Behold, the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, || Is lopping a branch with violence, || And the high of stature are cut down, || And the lofty have become low,

34 And He has gone around the thickets of the forest with iron, || And Lebanon falls by a mighty one!
