Isaiah 10

Isaiah condemns corrupt leaders who oppress the poor, widows, and orphans, pronouncing YHWH's judgment upon them, while revealing that Assyria serves as YHWH's instrument of wrath against Israel but will be punished for its arrogance and pride.[1][2][3] A faithful remnant of Israel will return and rely solely on YHWH, as He describes Assyria's advance toward Jerusalem only to fell it like a forest, breaking its yoke from Judah's neck.[1][3][4]
