Isaiah 10:20–27

The Remnant of Israel

20 In that dayy the remnant of Israel,

the survivorsz of Jacob,

will no longer relya on him

who struck them downb

but will truly relyc on the Lord,

the Holy One of Israel.d

21 A remnante will return,b f a remnant of Jacob

will return to the Mighty God.g

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

only a remnant will return.i

Destruction has been decreed,j

overwhelming and righteous.

23 The Lord, the Lord Almighty, will carry out

the destruction decreedk upon the whole land.l

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

“My people who live in Zion,m

do not be afraidn of the Assyrians,

who beato you with a rodp

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

25 Very soonq my anger against you will end

and my wrathr will be directed to their destruction.s”

26 The Lord Almighty will lasht them with a whip,

as when he struck down Midianu at the rock of Oreb;

and he will raise his staffv over the waters,w

as he did in Egypt.

27 In that dayx their burdeny will be lifted from your shoulders,

their yokez from your neck;a

the yokeb will be broken

because you have grown so fat.c
