Isaiah 10:20-27

20At 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.

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

22Although 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.

23The Almighty Lord of Armies will carry out this destruction throughout the world as he has determined.

24The 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.

25Very soon I will unleash my fury, and my anger will destroy them.

26Then the Lord of Armies will raise his whip against them. As he struck down Midian at the Rock of Oreb and raised his staff over the water, so he will lift it as he did in Egypt.

27At that time their burden will be removed from your shoulders. Their yoke  will be removed from your neck. The yoke will be torn away because you have grown fat.
