Isaiah 10:24

So ¹  here is what the sovereign master, the Lord who commands armies, says: “My people who live in Zion, do not be afraid of Assyria, even though they beat you with a club and lift their cudgel against you as Egypt did. ² 

Ex 1:10-16; Ex 14:9,21-31; Ex 15:6-10; Isa 4:3; Isa 8:12,13; Isa 9:4; Isa 10:5; Isa 12:6; Isa 14:29; Isa 27:7; Isa 30:19; Isa 33:14-16; Isa 35:4; Isa 37:6,22,33-35; Isa 46:13; Isa 61:3; Heb 12:22-24

¹ tn Heb “therefore.” The message that follows is one of encouragement, for it focuses on the eventual destruction of the Assyrians. Consequently “therefore” relates back to vv. 5-21, not to vv. 22-23, which must be viewed as a brief parenthesis in an otherwise positive speech.

² tn Heb “in the way [or “manner”] of Egypt.”
