Isaiah 10:22-24
Expanded Bible
22 Israel, though your people are many,
like the grains of sand by the sea [48:19; Gen. 15:5; 22:17; Hos. 1:10].
only a ·few [L remnant] of them will ·be left alive to return to the Lord [L return; 7:3].
·God has announced that he will destroy the land [Destruction has been decreed]
·completely and fairly [L overflowing/overwhelming with righteousness/justice].
23 The Lord God ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts] will ·certainly [or fully] destroy this land,
as he has ·announced [decreed].
24 This is what the Lord God ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts] says:
“My people living in ·Jerusalem [L Zion; 1:27],
don’t be afraid of the Assyrians,
who beat you with a ·rod [staff; scepter]
and raise a ·stick [staff; rod; club] against you, as Egypt did.
