Isaiah 10:26-28
Easy-to-Read Version
26 Then the Lord All-Powerful will beat Assyria with a whip, just as he defeated Midian at Raven Rock.[a] He will punish his enemies, as he did when he raised his stick over the sea[b] and led his people from Egypt.
27 He will take away the troubles Assyria brought you—troubles that are like heavy weights carried with a yoke on your neck. But that yoke will be taken off your neck. The burden will be lifted from your shoulders.
The Army of Assyria Invades Israel

26 The Lord Almighty will lash(A) them with a whip,
as when he struck down Midian(B) at the rock of Oreb;
and he will raise his staff(C) over the waters,(D)
