John Burnett: 20 In that day the
remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no
more lean on him who struck them, but will lean on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in
truth. 21 A remnant will return, the remnant of
Jacob, to the mighty God. 22 For though your
people Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will
return. Destruction is decreed, overflowing with righteousness. 23 For
the Lord God of hosts
will make a full end, as decreed, in the midst of all the earth. This can only refer to the last days where God will pour
out His Wrath and make a full end of all the earth.
24 Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts: “O my
people, who dwell in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrians when they
strike with the rod and lift up their staff against you as the Egyptians
did. 25 For in a very little while my fury
will come to an end, and my anger will be directed to their destruction. 26 And the Lord of hosts will wield against
them a whip, as when he struck Midian at the rock of Oreb. And his
staff will be over the sea, and he will lift it as he did in Egypt.

Tomorrow’s reading for Isaiah
10:27-34
27 In that day the Lord will end the bondage of his people.
He will break the yoke of slavery
and lift it from their shoulders. And he continues to do that for those that are his.
28 Look, the Assyrians are now at Aiath.
They are passing through Migron
and are storing their equipment at Micmash.
29 They are crossing the pass
and are camping at Geba.
Fear strikes the town of Ramah.
All the people of Gibeah, the hometown of Saul,
are running for their lives.
30 Scream in terror,
you people of Gallim!
Shout out a warning to Laishah.
Oh, poor Anathoth!
31 There go the people of Madmenah, all fleeing.
The citizens of Gebim are trying to hide.
32 The enemy stops at Nob for the rest of that day.
He shakes his fist at beautiful Mount Zion, the mountain of Jerusalem.
33 But look! The Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,
will chop down the mighty tree of Assyria with great power!
He will cut down the proud.
That lofty tree will be brought down.
34 He will cut down the forest trees with an ax.
Lebanon will fall to the Mighty One.[d]
