Context of Isaiah 10:32
30Cry aloud, you people in Gallim! Pay attention, you people in Laishah and miserable Anathoth! 31The people in Madmenah flee; those who live in Gebim take shelter. This day they stopped at Nob. They shake their fist at the mountain of my people Zion, at the mountain of Jerusalem. 33Now look! The Almighty Lord of Armies will trim the branches with terrifying power. The highest trees will be cut down. The tallest ones will be brought down. 34He will cut down the underbrush of the forest with an ax. Lebanon will fall in front of the Mighty One.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 20-34Verses 20-34 By our afflictions we may learn not to make creatures our confidence. Those only can with comfort stay upon God, who return to him in truth, not in pretence and profession only. God will justly bring this wasting away on a provoking people, but will graciously set bounds to it. It is against the mind and will of God, that his people, whatever happens, should give way to fear. God's anger against his people is but for a moment; and when that…Read the comment
