Isaiah 10:24-34
English Standard Version
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.

Isaiah 10:24-34
Christian Standard Bible
24 Therefore, the Lord God of Armies says this: “My people who dwell in Zion, do not fear Assyria, though they strike you with a rod and raise their staff over you as the Egyptians did. 25 In just a little while my wrath will be spent and my anger will turn to their destruction.” 26 And the Lord of Armies will brandish a whip against him as he did when he struck Midian at the rock of Oreb;(A) and he will raise his staff over the sea as he did in Egypt.
God Will Judge Assyria
27 On that day
his burden will fall from your shoulders,
and his yoke from your neck.
The yoke will be broken because your neck will be too large.[a](B)
28 Assyria has come to Aiath
and has gone through Migron,
storing their equipment at Michmash.
29 They crossed over at the ford, saying,
“We will spend the night at Geba.”
The people of Ramah are trembling;
those at Gibeah of Saul have fled.
30 Cry aloud, daughter of Gallim!
Listen, Laishah!
Anathoth is miserable.
31 Madmenah has fled.
The inhabitants of Gebim have sought refuge.
32 Today the Assyrians will stand at Nob,
shaking their fists at the mountain of Daughter Zion,
the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Look, the Lord God of Armies
will chop off the branches with terrifying power,
and the tall trees will be cut down,
the high trees felled.
34 He is clearing the thickets of the forest with an ax,
and Lebanon with its majesty will fall.
