Context of Isaiah 10:27

25For very soon my fury will subside, and my anger will be directed toward their destruction.” 26The Lord who commands armies is about to beat them with a whip, similar to the way he struck down Midian at the rock of Oreb. He will use his staff against the sea, lifting it up as he did in Egypt. At that time the Lord will remove their burden from your shoulders, and their yoke from your neck; the yoke will be taken off because your neck will be too large. 28They attacked Aiath, moved through Migron, depositing their supplies at Micmash. 29They went through the pass, spent the night at Geba. Ramah trembled, Gibeah of Saul ran away.
