Isaiah 10:20-27
Common English Bible
A few will return
20 On that day, what’s left of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no longer depend on the one who beat them. Instead, they will faithfully depend on the Lord, the holy one of Israel. 21 A few will return, what’s left of Jacob, to the mighty God. 22 Although your people, Israel, were like the sand of the sea, only a few survivors will return. The end is announced, overflowing with justice. 23 Yes, destruction has been announced; the Lord God of heavenly forces will carry it out against the entire land.
24 Therefore, the Lord God of heavenly forces says: My people who live in Zion, don’t fear Assyria, which strikes you with the rod and raises its staff against you as Egypt did. 25 In a very short time my fury will end, and my anger at the world will be finished.[a]
26 Therefore, the Lord of heavenly forces will crack a whip against Assyria,
as when he struck Midian at the rock of Oreb.
He will raise a rod over the sea,
as he did in Egypt.
27 On that day, God will remove the burden from your shoulder
and destroy the yoke on your neck.[b]
The exalted laid low
He has gone up from Samaria,

The Remnant of Israel
20 In that day(A) the remnant of Israel,
the survivors(B) of Jacob,
will no longer rely(C) on him
who struck them down(D)
but will truly rely(E) on the Lord,
the Holy One of Israel.(F)
21 A remnant(G) will return,[a](H) a remnant of Jacob
will return to the Mighty God.(I)
22 Though your people be like the sand(J) by the sea, Israel,
only a remnant will return.(K)
Destruction has been decreed,(L)
overwhelming and righteous.
23 The Lord, the Lord Almighty, will carry out
the destruction decreed(M) upon the whole land.(N)
24 Therefore this is what the Lord, the Lord Almighty, says:
“My people who live in Zion,(O)
do not be afraid(P) of the Assyrians,
who beat(Q) you with a rod(R)
and lift up a club against you, as Egypt did.
25 Very soon(S) my anger against you will end
and my wrath(T) will be directed to their destruction.(U)”
26 The Lord Almighty will lash(V) them with a whip,
as when he struck down Midian(W) at the rock of Oreb;
and he will raise his staff(X) over the waters,(Y)
as he did in Egypt.
27 In that day(Z) their burden(AA) will be lifted from your shoulders,
their yoke(AB) from your neck;(AC)
the yoke(AD) will be broken
because you have grown so fat.[b]
