Isaiah 10:24-34
New American Standard Bible
24 Therefore this is what the Lord [a]God of armies says: “My people, you who dwell in (A)Zion, (B)do not fear the Assyrian [b]who (C)strikes you with the rod, and lifts up his staff against you the way Egypt did. 25 For in a very (D)little while (E)My indignation against you will be ended and My anger will be directed toward their destruction.” 26 The Lord of armies will (F)wield a whip against him like the defeat of (G)Midian at the rock of Oreb; and His (H)staff will be over the sea, and He will lift it up (I)the way He did in Egypt. 27 So it will be on that day, that [c]his (J)burden will be removed from your shoulders, and his yoke from your neck; and the yoke will be broken because (K)of fatness.
28 He has come against Aiath,
He has passed through (L)Migron;
At (M)Michmash he deposited his (N)baggage.
29 They have gone through (O)the pass, saying,
“(P)Geba will be our encampment for the night.”
(Q)Ramah is terrified, and (R)Gibeah of Saul has fled.
30 Cry aloud with your voice, daughter of (S)Gallim!
Pay attention, Laishah and [d]wretched (T)Anathoth!
31 Madmenah has fled.
The inhabitants of Gebim have sought refuge.
32 Yet today he will halt at (U)Nob;
He (V)shakes his fist at the mountain of the [e](W)daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Behold, the Lord, the [f]God of armies, will lop off the branches with terrifying power;
Those also who are (X)tall in stature will be cut down,
And those who are lofty will be brought low.
34 He will cut down the thickets of the forest with an iron axe,
And (Y)Lebanon will fall by the Mighty One.
