Isaiah 10:24-34
New King James Version
24 Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts: “O My people, who dwell in Zion, (A)do not be afraid of the Assyrian. He shall strike you with a rod and lift up his staff against you, in the manner of (B)Egypt. 25 For yet a very little while (C)and the indignation will cease, as will My anger in their destruction.” 26 And the Lord of hosts will [a]stir up (D)a scourge for him like the slaughter of (E)Midian at the rock of Oreb; (F)as His rod was on the sea, so will He lift it up in the manner of Egypt.
27 It shall come to pass in that day
That his burden will be taken away from your shoulder,
And his yoke from your neck,
And the yoke will be destroyed because of (G)the anointing oil.
28 He has come to Aiath,
He has passed Migron;
At Michmash he has attended to his equipment.
29 They have gone [b]along (H)the ridge,
They have taken up lodging at Geba.
Ramah is afraid,
(I)Gibeah of Saul has fled.
30 [c]Lift up your voice,
O daughter (J)of Gallim!
Cause it to be heard as far as (K)Laish—
[d]O poor Anathoth!
31 (L)Madmenah has fled,
The inhabitants of Gebim seek refuge.
32 As yet he will remain (M)at Nob that day;
He will (N)shake his fist at the mount of (O)the daughter of Zion,
The hill of Jerusalem.
33 Behold, the Lord,
The Lord of hosts,
Will lop off the bough with terror;
(P)Those of high stature will be hewn down,
And the haughty will be humbled.
34 He will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron,
And Lebanon will fall by the Mighty One.

Authorized (King James) Version
24 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts,
O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian:
he shall smite thee with a rod,
and shall lift up his staff against thee,
after the manner of Egypt.
25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease,
and mine anger in their destruction.
26 And the Lord of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him
according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb:
and as his rod was upon the sea,
so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
27 And it shall come to pass in that day,
that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder,
and his yoke from off thy neck,
and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
28 He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron;
at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages:
29 they are gone over the passage:
they have taken up their lodging at Geba;
Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled.
30 Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim:
cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.
31 Madmenah is removed;
the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.
32 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day:
he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion,
the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror:
and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down,
and the haughty shall be humbled.
34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron,
and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
