Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 10:24-34

The prophet, in his preaching, distinguishes between the precious and the vile; for God in his providence, even in the same providence, does so. He speaks terror, in Sennacherib's invasion, to the hypocrites, who were the people of God's wrath, Isa. 10:6. But here he speaks comfort to the sincere, who were the people of God's love. The judgment was sent for the sake of the former; the deliverance was wrought for the sake of the latter. Here we have, I. An exhortation to God's people not to be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 10:24

Therefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts ,.... Since there is such a decree, and this will certainly be executed: O my people, that dwellest in Zion ; the inhabitants of Jerusalem; such of them especially as feared the Lord, and worshipped him, and served him in the temple: be not afraid of the Assyrian : the king of Assyria; neither Sennacherib, that threatened them with ruin, having taken the cities of Judah, and laid siege to Jerusalem; nor Nebuchadnezzar, who carried them... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 10:25

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... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 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... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 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. 1. D. 2. So that זעמי zaami , or הזעם hazzaam , as one MS. has it, seems to be the true reading. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:20-34

CONSOLATION FOR THE FAITHFUL IN ISRAEL . The destruction of Assyria shall be followed—how soon, is not said—by the return of a "remnant of Israel," not so much to their own land, as to God ( Isaiah 10:20 , Isaiah 10:21 ). The remnant, however, shall be but a remnant—judgment shall have overtaken the balk of the people ( Isaiah 10:22 , Isaiah 10:23 ). Still, there is reason for the faithful to take courage and be of good heart; Assyria will shortly receive a check ( ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:24

O my people … be not afraid . God now addresses those who are faithful to him among the people; they have no need to fear—he will bring them safely through all the coming troubles. He shall smite thee ; rather, if he smite thee ; or, though he smite thee . After the manner of Egypt; i.e. as the Egyptians did in the oppression that preceded the Exodus. The yoke of Assyria was heavy even upon the nations that submitted to her. She claimed to march her armies through their... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:24-34

The mighty laid low. I. ENCOURAGEMENT AGAINST FEAR . Let not Judah fear the Assyrian, who, like the Egyptian in the days of yore, wields over her the rod of the slave-driver. In a short time, the hot tide of Divine wrath will pass from Israel, and the Assyrians will in turn feel it. The scourge that was laid in the ancient time on the back of the Egyptian oppressor will be brandished over the heads of the Assyrians. Their burden will fall from Judah's shoulder, from Judah's neck the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:24-34

Rout and re-establishment: Divine interposition. I. THE APPEARANCE OF OVERWHELMING POWER ON THE SIDE OF SIN . The prophet gives a vivid description in Isaiah 10:28 -38 of the triumphant march of the Assyrian. Everybody and everything yields at his approach; opposition melts before him; his adversary is in his power; already his hand is on the prize he seeks. Sin often seems to be on a march that is irresistible, and to be secure of victory. Numbers, wealth, learning,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:25

The indignation shall cease ; rather, there shall be an end of wrath ; i.e. "my wrath against Israel shall come to an end"—Israel having been sufficiently punished. And mine auger in their destruction ; rather, and my anger shall be to their destruction ; i.e. to the destruction of the Assyrians. read more
