Isaiah 10:19-22
Summary for Isa 10:20-27: 10:20-27 a In the midst of Assyrian oppression, there was hope for the remnant. This passage develops more fully the meaning of Shear-jashub, a remnant will return (10:21 b; see 7:3 c; 8:18 d). 10:20 e left ... the survivors: A remnant from Jerusalem barely survived, but their safety was secure because God promised to preserve them (see 1:8-9 f; 4:2 g; 6:13 h; 37:31-32 i).• All these wars would teach the Israelite remnant to no longer depend on allies such as Assyria. Instead, they would faithfully trust in the Lord (see 8:13 j; 17:7 k).
10:22 l God had similarly promised descendants as numerous as the sand of the seashore to Abraham (Gen 22:17 m).
• rightly decided to destroy: God’s decision was a just response to the people’s persistent wickedness.
