Isaiah 10:22-31
New American Standard Bible
24Therefore this is what the Lord God of armies says: 'My people, you who dwell in Zion, do not fear the Assyrian who strikes you with the rod, and lifts up his staff against you the way Egypt did.
25For in a very little while My indignation against you will be ended and My anger will be directed toward their destruction.'
26The Lord of armies will wield a whip against him like the defeat of Midian at the rock of Oreb; and His staff will be over the sea, and He will lift it up the way He did in Egypt.
27So it will be on that day, that his burden will be removed from your shoulders, and his yoke from your neck; and the yoke will be broken because of fatness.
28He has come against Aiath, He has passed through Migron; At Michmash he deposited his baggage.
29They have gone through the pass, saying, 'Geba will be our encampment for the night.' Ramah is terrified, and Gibeah of Saul has fled.
30Cry aloud with your voice, daughter of Gallim! Pay attention, Laishah and wretched Anathoth!
31Madmenah has fled. The inhabitants of Gebim have sought refuge.
King James Version
Chapter 10
22For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness. 23For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land.
24Therefore 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.
25For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.
26And 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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 10
22Israel, even if your people were as numerous as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will return. Destruction has been decreed; justice overflows. 23For throughout the land the Lord God of Armies is carrying out a destruction that was decreed.
24Therefore, the Lord God of Armies says this: "My people who dwell in Zion, do not fear Assyria, though they strike you with a rod and raise their staff over you as the Egyptians did.
25In just a little while my wrath will be spent and my anger will turn to their destruction."
26And the Lord of Armies will brandish a whip against him as he did when he struck Midian at the rock of Oreb; and he will raise his staff over the sea as he did in Egypt.
27On that day his burden will fall from your shoulders, and his yoke from your neck. The yoke will be broken because your neck will be too large.
28Assyria has come to Aiath and has gone through Migron, storing their equipment at Michmash.
29They crossed over at the ford, saying, "We will spend the night at Geba." The people of Ramah are trembling; those at Gibeah of Saul have fled.
30Cry aloud, daughter of Gallim! Listen, Laishah! Anathoth is miserable.
31Madmenah has fled. The inhabitants of Gebim have sought refuge.
New Living Translation
Chapter 10
22But though the people of Israel are as numerous as the sand of the seashore, only a remnant of them will return. The Lord has rightly decided to destroy his people. 23Yes, the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, has already decided to destroy the entire land.
24So this is what the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, says: 'O my people in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrians when they oppress you with rod and club as the Egyptians did long ago.
25In a little while my anger against you will end, and then my anger will rise up to destroy them.'
26The Lord of Heaven’s Armies will lash them with his whip, as he did when Gideon triumphed over the Midianites at the rock of Oreb, or when the Lord’s staff was raised to drown the Egyptian army in the sea.
28Look, the Assyrians are now at Aiath. They are passing through Migron and are storing their equipment at Micmash.
29They are crossing the pass and are camping at Geba. Fear strikes the town of Ramah. All the people of Gibeah, the hometown of Saul, are running for their lives.
30Scream in terror, you people of Gallim! Shout out a warning to Laishah. Oh, poor Anathoth!
31There go the people of Madmenah, all fleeing. The citizens of Gebim are trying to hide.
English Standard Version
Chapter 10
22For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will return. Destruction is decreed, overflowing with righteousness. 23For the Lord God of hosts will make a full end, as decreed, in the midst of all the earth.
24Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts: "O my people, who dwell in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrians when they strike with the rod and lift up their staff against you as the Egyptians did.
25For in a very little while my fury will come to an end, and my anger will be directed to their destruction.
26And the Lord of hosts will wield against them a whip, as when he struck Midian at the rock of Oreb. And his staff will be over the sea, and he will lift it as he did in Egypt.
27And in that day his burden will depart from your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck; and the yoke will be broken because of the fat."
28He has come to Aiath; he has passed through Migron; at Michmash he stores his baggage;
29they have crossed over the pass; at Geba they lodge for the night; Ramah trembles; Gibeah of Saul has fled.
30Cry aloud, O daughter of Gallim! Give attention, O Laishah! O poor Anathoth!
31Madmenah is in flight; the inhabitants of Gebim flee for safety.
New International Version
Chapter 10
22Though your people be like the sand by the sea, Israel, only a remnant will return. Destruction has been decreed, overwhelming and righteous. 23The Lord, the Lord Almighty, will carry out the destruction decreed upon the whole land.
25Very soon my anger against you will end and my wrath will be directed to their destruction."
26The Lord Almighty will lash them with a whip, as when he struck down Midian at the rock of Oreb; and he will raise his staff over the waters, as he did in Egypt.
27In that day their burden will be lifted from your shoulders, their yoke from your neck; the yoke will be broken because you have grown so fat.
28They enter Aiath; they pass through Migron; they store supplies at Mikmash.
29They go over the pass, and say, "We will camp overnight at Geba." Ramah trembles; Gibeah of Saul flees.
30Cry out, Daughter Gallim! Listen, Laishah! Poor Anathoth!
31Madmenah is in flight; the people of Gebim take cover.
New King James Version
Chapter 10
22 For though your people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea, A remnant of them will return; The destruction decreed shall overflow with righteousness. 23 For the Lord God of hosts Will make a determined end In the midst of all the land.
24Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts: “O My people, who dwell in Zion, 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 Egypt.
25For yet a very little while and the indignation will cease, as will My anger in their destruction.”
26And the Lord of hosts will stir up a scourge for him like the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb; as His rod was on the sea, so will He lift it up in the manner of Egypt.
27It 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 the anointing oil.
28He has come to Aiath, He has passed Migron; At Michmash he has attended to his equipment.
29They have gone along the ridge, They have taken up lodging at Geba. Ramah is afraid, Gibeah of Saul has fled.
30Lift up your voice, O daughter of Gallim! Cause it to be heard as far as Laish— O poor Anathoth!
31 Madmenah has fled, The inhabitants of Gebim seek refuge.
