Isaiah 10:24-27
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
24 [a]Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of hosts: My people, who dwell in Zion, do not fear the Assyrian, though he strikes you with a rod, and raises his staff against you as did the Egyptians. 25 For just a brief moment more, and my wrath shall be over, and my anger shall be set for their destruction. 26 Then the Lord of hosts will raise against them a scourge such as struck Midian at the rock of Oreb;(A) and he will raise his staff over the sea as he did in Egypt.(B) 27 On that day,
His burden shall be taken from your shoulder,
and his yoke shattered from your neck.(C)
The March of an Enemy Army[b]
He has come up from Rimmon,
Footnotes
- 10:24 This verse with its reference to Assyria’s rod may introduce the original conclusion to vv. 5–15.
- 10:27b–32 A poetic description of the march of an enemy army from the north, advancing south to the very gates of Jerusalem, where the enemy waves his hand in a gesture of derision against the city. Though Sennacherib’s troops took a different route, advancing down the coast and then approaching Jerusalem from the southeast, the arrogant attitude toward God’s chosen city was the same. Aiath: the Ai of Jos 7:22–8:29. Migron: modern Makrun north of Michmash. The ravine: the deep valley between Michmash and Geba (cf. 1 Sm 14:1–5). Ramah…Gibeah…Bath-Gallim…Laishah…Anathoth…Madmenah…Gebim: cities north of Jerusalem threatened by the sudden appearance of this enemy army. Nob: probably to be identified with the present Mount Scopus from where one has a clear view of Jerusalem.

Isaiah 10:24-27
New International Version
24 Therefore this is what the Lord, the Lord Almighty, says:
“My people who live in Zion,(A)
do not be afraid(B) of the Assyrians,
who beat(C) you with a rod(D)
and lift up a club against you, as Egypt did.
25 Very soon(E) my anger against you will end
and my wrath(F) will be directed to their destruction.(G)”
26 The Lord Almighty will lash(H) them with a whip,
as when he struck down Midian(I) at the rock of Oreb;
and he will raise his staff(J) over the waters,(K)
as he did in Egypt.
27 In that day(L) their burden(M) will be lifted from your shoulders,
their yoke(N) from your neck;(O)
the yoke(P) will be broken
because you have grown so fat.[a]
