Isaiah 10:22-24
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
22 Though your people, O Israel,
were like the sand of the sea,(A)
Only a remnant of them will return;
their destruction is decreed,
as overflowing justice demands.(B)
23 For the Lord, the God of hosts, is about to carry out the destruction decreed in the midst of the whole land.(C)
24 [a]Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of hosts: My people, who dwell in Zion, do not fear the Assyrian, though he strikes you with a rod, and raises his staff against you as did the Egyptians.
