Isaiah 10:24 ESV

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

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

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

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 10:24

Therefore ... - In this verse the prophet returns to the main subject of this prophecy, which is to comfort the people of Jerusalem with the assurance that the army of the Assyrian would be destroyed.O my people - An expression of tenderness, showing that God regarded them as his children, and notwithstanding the judgments that he would bring upon them for their sins In the midst of severe judgments, God speaks the language of tenderness; and, even when he punishes, has toward his people the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 10:24

Isaiah 10:24 . Therefore, &c. We have here the fourth part of the enarration, or unfolding of the proposition, mentioned Isaiah 10:5, namely, the application of it to the consolation of the people of God: to which, having digressed a little, the prophet returns, it being the true and proper scope of his discourse, to comfort the pious with respect to the evils that threatened their republic. The words are an inference, not from the verses immediately foregoing, but from the whole... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 10:5-34

Assyria’s pride and punishment (10:5-34)God is angry with the rebellious people of Israel and has used Assyria to punish them (5-6). 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
