Context of Isaiah 10:27
25Very soon my anger against you will end and my wrath will be directed to their destruction.” 26The Lord Almighty will lash them with a whip, as when he struck down Midian at the rock of Oreb; and he will raise his staff over the waters, as he did in Egypt. In that day their burden will be lifted from your shoulders, their yoke from your neck; the yoke will be broken because you have grown so fat. 28They enter Aiath; they pass through Migron; they store supplies at Mikmash. 29They go over the pass, and say, “We will camp overnight at Geba.” Ramah trembles; Gibeah of Saul flees.
