Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 10:5-34

Assyria, however, has no concern for God’s purposes and thinks it has won its victories by its own might. It therefore decides to attack Jerusalem, confident that it will conquer Judah as it has conquered other nations (7-9). It thinks that because the gods of other nations have not been able to save them from Assyria’s might, the God of Judah will not be able to... read more

For yet a very little while, and the indignation against thee shall be accomplished, and mine anger shall be directed to his destruction.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 10:24

24. Therefore—Return to the main proposition, Assyria's ultimate punishment, though employed as God's "rod" to chastise Judea for a time. O my people—God's tenderness towards His elect nation. after the manner of Egypt—as Egypt and Pharaoh oppressed thee.
