Context of Isaiah 10:27
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. At 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. 28They come to Aiath. They pass through Migron. They store their equipment at Michmash. 29They go through the mountain pass and lodge at Geba for the night. The people in Ramah tremble; the people in Saul’s Gibeah flee.
