Isaiah 10:26-28
The Voice
26 The Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies, will lash Assyria with His whip; and Assyria will feel the crushing power of God’s judgment just as the Midianites did at the rock of Oreb,[a] just as the Egyptians did when Moses raised his staff and drowned Pharaoh’s army in the sea.[b] 27 When that time comes, all the weight of Assyria will be lifted off of your shoulders; its yoke will be removed from your neck, and the burden of their assault and demands will evaporate, and you’ll be free.
Isaiah describes the southern march of the Assyrian army. Village after village falls until the enemy is so close the clamor of its forces shakes the streets of Jerusalem.
28 Oh, sure, first you’ll feel that terrible force coming on you from the north
through Aiath and then Migron; at Michmash, they store their gear;

New International Version
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)
as he did in Egypt.
27 In that day(E) their burden(F) will be lifted from your shoulders,
their yoke(G) from your neck;(H)
the yoke(I) will be broken
because you have grown so fat.[a]
