Isaiah 10:20-27
Isaiah 10:20-27 NCV
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. Those who are left alive in Jacob’s family will again follow the powerful God. 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. The Lord GOD All-Powerful will certainly destroy this land, as he has announced. 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. After a short time my anger against you will stop, and then I will turn my anger to destroying them.” Then the LORD All-Powerful will beat the Assyrians with a whip as he defeated Midian at the rock of Oreb. He will raise his stick over the waters as he did in Egypt. Then the troubles that Assyria puts on you will be removed, and the load they make you carry will be taken away.
