Isaiah 10:24

Compare all

22 ^aFor though your people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea,
^bA remnant of them will return;
The destruction decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

23 ^aFor the Lord God of hosts
Will make a determined end
In the midst of all the land.

24 Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts: “O My people, who dwell in Zion, ^ado not be afraid of the Assyrian. He shall strike you with a rod and lift up his staff against you, in the manner of ^bEgypt.

25 For yet a very little while ^aand the indignation will cease, as will My anger in their destruction.”

26 And the Lord of hosts will¹ stir up ^aa scourge for him like the slaughter of ^bMidian at the rock of Oreb; ^cas His rod was on the sea, so will He lift it up in the manner of Egypt.

27 It shall come to pass in that day
That his burden will be taken away from your shoulder,
And his yoke from your neck,
And the yoke will be destroyed because of ^athe anointing oil.

28 He has come to Aiath,
He has passed Migron;
At Michmash he has attended to his equipment.

29 They have gone¹ along ^athe ridge,
They have taken up lodging at Geba.
Ramah is afraid,
^bGibeah of Saul has fled.

Isaiah 10:24

After the manner of Egypt "In the way of Egypt" - I think there is a designed ambiguity in these words. Sennacherib, soon after his return from his Egyptian expedition, which, I imagine, took him up three years, invested Jerusalem. He is represented by the prophet as lifting up his rod in his march from Egypt, and threatening the people of God, as Pharaoh and the Egyptians had done when they pursued them to the Red Sea. But God in his turn will lift up his rod over the sea, as he did at that time, in the way, or after the manner, of Egypt; and as Sennacherib has imitated the Egyptians in his threats, and came full of rage against them from the same quarter; so God will act over again the same part that he had taken formerly in Egypt, and overthrow their enemies in as signal a manner. It was all to be, both the attack and the deliverance, bederech , or kederech , as a MS. has it in each place, in the way, or after the manner, of Egypt.
