Isaiah 10:22-24

New Catholic Bible

²² Although your people, O Israel,
    may be as numerous as the sands of the sea,
    only a remnant of them will return.
Destruction has been decreed
    as righteousness and justice demand.
²³ For throughout the entire land
    the Lord God of hosts will enforce
    the final destruction that has been decreed.

O my people who dwell in Zion,
    do not be afraid of the Assyrians,
even when they beat you with a rod
    and raise their staff against you
    as the Egyptians did.
