24 Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts: “O my people, (A)who dwell in Zion, (B)be not afraid of the Assyrians when they strike with the rod and lift up their staff against you as (C)the Egyptians did. 25 For (D)in a very little while my fury will come to an end, and my anger will be directed to their destruction. 26 And (E)the Lord of hosts will wield against them a whip, as when he struck (F)Midian (G)at the rock of Oreb. And his staff will be over the sea, and he will lift it (H)as he did in Egypt. 27 And in that day (I)his burden will depart from your shoulder, and (J)his yoke from your neck; and the yoke will be broken because of the fat.”[a]

28 He has come to Aiath;
he has passed through (K)Migron;
    at Michmash he stores (L)his baggage;
29 they have crossed over (M)the pass;
    at (N)Geba they lodge for the night;
(O)Ramah trembles;
    (P)Gibeah of Saul has fled.
30 Cry aloud, O daughter of (Q)Gallim!
    Give attention, O Laishah!
    O poor (R)Anathoth!
31 Madmenah is in flight;
    the inhabitants of Gebim flee for safety.
32 This very day he will halt at (S)Nob;
    he will shake his fist
    at the mount of (T)the daughter of Zion,
    the hill of Jerusalem.

33 Behold, the Lord God of hosts
    (U)will lop (V)the boughs with terrifying power;
the great in height will be hewn down,
    and the lofty will be brought low.
34 He will cut down (W)the thickets of the forest with an axe,
    and (X)Lebanon will fall by the Majestic One.

  1. Isaiah 10:27 The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain

24 Therefore this is what the Lord, the Lord Almighty, says:

“My people who live in Zion,(A)
    do not be afraid(B) of the Assyrians,
who beat(C) you with a rod(D)
    and lift up a club against you, as Egypt did.
25 Very soon(E) my anger against you will end
    and my wrath(F) will be directed to their destruction.(G)

26 The Lord Almighty will lash(H) them with a whip,
    as when he struck down Midian(I) at the rock of Oreb;
and he will raise his staff(J) over the waters,(K)
    as he did in Egypt.
27 In that day(L) their burden(M) will be lifted from your shoulders,
    their yoke(N) from your neck;(O)
the yoke(P) will be broken
    because you have grown so fat.[a]

28 They enter Aiath;
    they pass through Migron;(Q)
    they store supplies(R) at Mikmash.(S)
29 They go over the pass, and say,
    “We will camp overnight at Geba.(T)
Ramah(U) trembles;
    Gibeah(V) of Saul flees.(W)
30 Cry out, Daughter Gallim!(X)
    Listen, Laishah!
    Poor Anathoth!(Y)
31 Madmenah is in flight;
    the people of Gebim take cover.
32 This day they will halt at Nob;(Z)
    they will shake their fist(AA)
at the mount of Daughter Zion,(AB)
    at the hill of Jerusalem.

33 See, the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
    will lop off(AC) the boughs with great power.
The lofty trees will be felled,(AD)
    the tall(AE) ones will be brought low.(AF)
34 He will cut down(AG) the forest thickets with an ax;
    Lebanon(AH) will fall before the Mighty One.(AI)
