Isa 5.25; 22.2; 24.22 so as not to crouch among the prisoners

his hand is stretched out still.

20 #
2 Kings 16.7; 2 Chr 28.20; Isa 17.7, 8 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#Isa 6.13; 9.6A remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God. 22#Isa 28.22; Rom 9.27, 28For 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#Dan 9.27For the Lord God of hosts will make a full end, as decreed, in all the earth.#10.23 Or land
24Therefore 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#v 5; Isa 17.14For in a very little while my indignation will come to an end, and my anger will be directed to their destruction.” 26#Ex 14.16, 27; Judg 7.25; Isa 37.36–38The Lord of hosts will wield a whip against them, as when he struck Midian at the rock of Oreb; his staff will be over the sea, and he will lift it as he did in Egypt. 27#Isa 9.4; 30.23On that day his burden will be removed from your shoulder, and his yoke will be destroyed from your neck.
He has gone up from Samaria;#10.27 Cn: Heb and his yoke from your neck, and a yoke will be destroyed because of fatness

at the mount of daughter Zion,
the hill of Jerusalem.
33 #
Am 2.9
Look, the Sovereign, the Lord of hosts,
will lop the boughs with terrifying power;
the tallest trees will be cut down,
and the lofty will be brought low.
34He will hack down the thickets of the forest with an ax,
and Lebanon with its majestic trees#10.34 Cn Compare Gk Vg: Heb with a majestic one will fall.
