20On that day the remnant of Israel
and the survivors of the house of Jacob
will no longer depend
on him who struck them,
but they will truly rely on the LORD,
the Holy One of Israel.
21A remnant will return — a remnant of Jacob —
to the Mighty God.
22Though your people, O Israel, be like the sand of the sea,
only a remnant will return.
Destruction has been decreed,
overflowing with righteousness.
23For the Lord GOD of Hosts will carry out
the destruction decreed upon the whole land.
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 little while
My fury against you will subside,
and My anger will turn to their destruction.”
— Isaiah 10:20-25
