And where will you leave your glory?
And in the desolation which will come from cafar?
To whom will you flee for help?

4 Without Me they shall bow down among the aprisoners,
And they shall fall1 among the slain.”

But His hand is stretched out still.
And they shall fall1 among the slain.”
bFor all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still.

Nor does his heart think so;
But it is in his heart to destroy,
And cut off not a few nations.

What Does Isaiah 10:5 Mean?
Isaiah 10:5-7
Isaiah, the key prophet at the beginning of this period, is very interested in a dominating Gentile power, the Assyrians, and its threat to Israel and Judah. He begins to trumpet a warning to them of the impending commencement of the times of the Gentiles. Assyria is the first great Gentile power, but not the most influential.
