Isaiah 10:24-34

Common English Bible

²⁶ Therefore, the Lord of heavenly forces will crack a whip against Assyria,
    as when he struck Midian at the rock of Oreb.
    He will raise a rod over the sea,
        as he did in Egypt.
²⁷ On that day, God will remove the burden from your shoulder
    and destroy the yoke on your neck.^[b]

He has gone up from Samaria,
²⁸     come against Aiath,
    passed to Migron.
At Michmash he stored his equipment.
²⁹ They crossed at the pass: “We’ll camp at Geba!”
    Ramah trembles; Gibeah of Saul has fled.
³⁰ Cry aloud, Daughter Gallim!
    Listen, Laishah! Answer her, Anathoth!
³¹ Madmenah has flown.
    Gebim’s inhabitants sought refuge.
³² This very day he will stand at Nob
    and shake his fist^[c] at Daughter Zion’s mountain,
    the hill of Jerusalem!
³³ Look! The Lord God of heavenly forces
    is chopping off the branches with terrible power.
    The loftiest ones are about to be cut down
        and the exalted laid low.
³⁴ He will strike down the forest thickets with an ax,
    and mighty Lebanon will fall.
