Context of Isaiah 10:31
29They went through the pass, spent the night at Geba. Ramah trembled, Gibeah of Saul ran away. 30Shout out, daughter of Gallim! Pay attention, Laishah! Answer her, Anathoth! Madmenah flees, the residents of Gebim have hidden. 32This very day, standing in Nob, they shake their fist at Daughter Zion’s mountain – at the hill of Jerusalem. 33Look, the sovereign master, the Lord who commands armies, is ready to cut off the branches with terrifying power. The tallest trees will be cut down, the loftiest ones will be brought low.
