Isaiah 10:25

The Holy Bible, Berean Study Bible

Contextual Overview

²⁴Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD of Hosts says: "O My people who dwell in Zion, do not fear Assyria, who strikes you with a rod and lifts his staff against you as the Egyptians did. ²⁵For in just a very little while My wrath will be spent and My anger will turn to their destruction."²⁶And the LORD of Hosts will brandish a whip against them, as when He struck Midian at the rock of Oreb; He will raise His staff over the sea, as He did in Egypt. ²⁷On that day the burden will be lifted from your shoulders, and the yoke from your neck. The yoke will be broken because of your fatness. ²⁸Assyria has entered Aiath and passed through Migron, storing supplies at Michmash. ²⁹They have crossed at the ford: "We will spend the night at Geba." Ramah trembles; Gibeah of Saul flees. ³⁰Cry aloud, O daughter of Gallim! Listen, O Laishah! O wretched Anathoth! ³¹Madmenah flees; the people of Gebim take refuge. ³²Yet today they will halt at Nob, shaking a fist at the mount of the Daughter of Zion, at the hill of Jerusalem. ³³Behold, the Lord GOD of Hosts will lop off the branches with terrifying power. The tall trees will be cut down, the lofty ones will be felled.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For yet a very little while,.... Within a few days; for in a very short time after Sennacherib was come up against Jerusalem his army was destroyed by an angel:

and the indignation shall cease; the indignation of the Lord against his people Israel, shown by bringing the Assyrian monarch against them, of which he was the staff or instrument, Isaiah 10:5:

and mine anger in their destruction; not in the destruction of the Jews, but the Assyrians: the sense is, that the anger of God towards the people of the Jews for the present should be discontinued, when the Assyrian army was destroyed. The Targum is,

"for yet a very little while, and the curses shall cease from you of the house of Jacob; and mine anger shall be upon the people that work iniquity, to destroy them;''

that is, the Assyrians.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For yet a very little while - This is designed to console them with the hope of deliverance. The threatened invasion was brief and was soon ended by the pestilence that swept off the greater part of the army of the Assyrian.

The indignation shall cease - The anger of God against his offending people shall come to an end; his purposes of chastisement shall be completed; and the land shall be delivered.

In their destruction - על־תבליתם ‛al-tab^elı̂ytām from בלה bâlâh, to wear out; to consume; to be annihilated. It means here, that his anger would terminate in the entire annihilation of their power to injure them. Such was the complete overthrow of Sennacherib by the pestilence; 2 Kings 19:35. The word used here, occurs in this form in no other place in the Hebrew Bible, though the verb is used, and other forms of the noun. “The verb,” Deuteronomy 7:4; Deuteronomy 29:5; Joshua 9:13; Nehemiah 9:21, ...“Nouns,” Ezekiel 23:43; Isaiah 38:17; Jeremiah 38:11-12; Isaiah 17:14, et al.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Isaiah 10:25. The indignation - "Mine indignation."] Indignatio mea, Vulg. ἡ οργη, Sept. μου η οργη κατα σου, MS. Pachom. Μου ἡ οργη ἡ κατα σου, MS. I. D. II. So that זעמי zaami, or הזעם hazzaam, as one MS. has it, seems to be the true reading.
