25 My indignation will come to an end in just a very little while,[a]
    and my anger will be directed to their destruction.”
26 And Yahweh of hosts is going to swing a whip against him,
    as when Midian was defeated at the rock of Oreb;
and his staff will be over the sea,
    and he will lift him up as he did in Egypt.[b]

27 And this shall happen: on that day,

he will remove his burden from your shoulder
    and his yoke from your neck,
    and a yoke will be destroyed because of fat.[c]

  1. Isaiah 10:25 Literally “for still a little a trifle”
  2. Isaiah 10:26 Literally “in the way of Egypt”
  3. Isaiah 10:27 The meaning of this phrase is uncertain, leading to the conjecture that it belongs with the next verse and by a different word division could mean “he has gone up from Jeshimon”; alternatively, “fat” could be a metaphor for prosperity
