Isaiah 10:24-34

English Standard Version

²⁴Therefore 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. ²⁵For ^(D)in a very little while my fury will come to an end, and my anger will be directed to their destruction. ²⁶And ^(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. ²⁷And 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]

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

³³Behold, 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.
³⁴He will cut down ^(W)the thickets of the forest with an axe,
    and ^(X)Lebanon will fall by the Majestic One.
