Isaiah 10:20–25

20 In that day the remnant of Israel,

the survivors of Jacob,

will no longer rely on him

who struck them down

but will truly rely on the Lord,

the Holy One of Israel.

21 A remnant will return, a remnant of Jacob

will return to the Mighty God.

22 Though your people be like the sand by the sea, Israel,

only a remnant will return.

Destruction has been decreed,

overwhelming and righteous.

23 The Lord, the Lord Almighty, will carry out

the destruction decreed upon the whole land.

24 Therefore this is what the Lord, the Lord Almighty, says:

“My people who live in Zion,

do not be afraid of the Assyrians,

who beat you with a rod

and lift up a club against you, as Egypt did.

25 Very soon my anger against you will end

and my wrath will be directed to their destruction.”

20 In that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no more lean on him who struck them, but will lean on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. 21 A remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God. 22 For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will return. Destruction is decreed, overflowing with righteousness. 23 For the Lord God of hosts will make a full end, as decreed, in the midst of all the earth.

24 Therefore 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. 25 For in a very little while my fury will come to an end, and my anger will be directed to their destruction.

20 And it shall come to pass in that day,

That the remnant of Israel,

And such as are escaped of the house of Jacob,

Shall no more again stay upon him that smote them;

But shall stay upon the Lord,

The Holy One of Israel, in truth.

21 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob,

Unto the mighty God.

22 For 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.

23 For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined,

In the midst of all the land.

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.

20 In that day the remnant left in Israel,

the survivors in the house of Jacob,

will no longer depend on allies

who seek to destroy them.

But they will faithfully trust the Lord,

the Holy One of Israel.

21 A remnant will return;

yes, the remnant of Jacob will return to the Mighty God.

22 But 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.

23 Yes, the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,

has already decided to destroy the entire land.

24 So 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. 25 In a little while my anger against you will end, and then my anger will rise up to destroy them.”

20 At that time some people will be left alive in Israel

from the family of Jacob.

They will not continue to depend

on the person who defeated them.

They will learn truly to depend on the Lord,

the Holy One of Israel.

21 Those who are left alive in Jacob’s family

will again follow the powerful God.

22 Israel, your people are many,

like the grains of sand by the sea.

But only a few of them will be left alive to return to the Lord.

God has announced that he will destroy the land

completely and fairly.

23 The Lord God All-Powerful will certainly destroy this land,

as he has announced.

24 This is what the Lord God All-Powerful says:

“My people living in Jerusalem,

don’t be afraid of the Assyrians,

who beat you with a rod

and raise a stick against you, as Egypt did.

25 After a short time my anger against you will stop,

and then I will turn my anger to destroying them.”

20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and they that are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again lean upon him that smote them, but shall lean upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. 21 A remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. 22 For though thy people, Israel, be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them shall return: a destruction is determined, overflowing with righteousness. 23 For a full end, and that determined, will the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, make in the midst of all the earth.

24 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian, though he smite thee with the rod, and lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt. 25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation against thee shall be accomplished, and mine anger shall be directed to his destruction.

20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob shall no more again rely upon him that smote them; but they shall rely upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. 21 The remnant shall return, the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty •God. 22 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them shall return: the consumption determined shall overflow in righteousness. 23 For a consumption, and one determined, will the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, accomplish in the midst of all the land.

24 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Jehovah 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 be accomplished, and mine anger, in their destruction.

20 At that time the remaining few Israelites, 

the survivors of Jacob’s descendants 

will no longer depend on the one who struck them. 

They will only depend on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel. 

21 A few, the remaining few of Jacob, will return to the mighty God. 

22 Although your people Israel may be 

as ⸤numerous as⸥ the grains of sand on the seashore, 

only a few will return. 

Destruction will be complete and fair. 

23 The Almighty Lord of Armies will carry out this destruction 

throughout the world as he has determined. 

24 The Almighty Lord of Armies says: 

My people who live in Zion, 

don’t be afraid of the Assyrians when they strike with a rod 

or when they raise their staff against you 

as the Egyptians did. 

25 Very soon I will unleash my fury, 

and my anger will destroy them. 

20 On that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no longer depend on the one who struck them, but they will faithfully depend on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.

21 The remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob,

to the Mighty God.

22 Israel, 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.

23 For throughout the land

the Lord God of Hosts

is carrying out a destruction that was decreed.

24 Therefore, the Lord God of Hosts says this: “My people who dwell in Zion, do not fear Assyria, though he strikes you with a rod and raises his staff over you as the Egyptians did. 25 In just a little while My wrath will be spent and My anger will turn to their destruction.”

20 On that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no longer lean on the one who struck them but will lean on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. 21 A remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God. 22 For though your people, O Israel, were like the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will return. Destruction is decreed, an overwhelming verdict. 23 For the Lord God of hosts will make a full end, as decreed, in all the earth.

24 Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts: “O my people who live in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrians when they beat you with a rod and lift up their staff against you as the Egyptians did. 25 For in a very little while my indignation will come to an end, and my anger will be directed to their destruction.”

20 And this shall happen: on that day, the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will not continue to lean on the one who struck it

but will lean on Yahweh, the holy one of Israel, in truth.

21 A remnant will return—

the remnant of Jacob—to the mighty God.

22 For though your people Israel was like the sand of the sea,

only a remnant of it will return.

Annihilation is determined,

overflowing with righteousness.

23 For the Lord Yahweh of hosts is about to make a complete destruction

and a determined end in the midst of all the earth.

24 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh of hosts:

“My people who live in Zion,

you must not be afraid of Assyria.

It beats you with the rod,

and it lifts up its staff against you as the Egyptians did.

25 My indignation will come to an end in just a very little while,

and my anger will be directed to their destruction.”

20 In days to come, some people will still be left alive in Israel.

They will be from Jacob’s family line.

But they won’t depend any longer on

the nation that struck them down.

Instead, they will truly depend on the Lord.

He is the Holy One of Israel.

21 The people of Jacob who are still alive

will return to the Mighty God.

22 Israel, your people might be as many as the grains of sand by the sea.

But only a few of them will return.

The Lord has handed down a death sentence.

He will destroy his people.

What he does is right.

23 The Lord who rules over all will carry out his sentence.

The Lord will destroy the whole land.

24 The Lord rules over all. The Lord says,

“My people who live in Zion,

do not be afraid of the Assyrian army.

They beat you with rods.

They lift up war clubs against you,

just as the Egyptians did.

25 Very soon I will not be angry with you anymore.

I will turn my anger against the Assyrians.

I will destroy them.”

20 Now in that day the remnant of Israel, and those of the house of Jacob who have escaped, will never again rely on the one who struck them, but will truly rely on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.

21 A remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.

22 For though your people, O Israel, may be like the sand of the sea,

Only a remnant within them will return;

A destruction is determined, overflowing with righteousness.

23 For a complete destruction, one that is decreed, the Lord God of hosts will execute in the midst of the whole land.

24 Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts, “O My people 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.

25 “For in a very little while My indignation against you will be spent and My anger will be directed to their destruction.”
