Isaiah 10:25

WEB

For yet a very little while, and the indignation against you will be accomplished, and my anger will be directed to his destruction."

KJV

For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.

Commentary

For yet a very little while,.... Within a few days; for in a very short time after Sennacherib was come up against Jerusalem his army was destroyed by an angel : and the indignation shall cease; the indignation of the Lord against his people Israel, shown by bringing the Assyrian monarch against them, of which he was the staff or instrument, Isa 10:5 , and mine anger in their destruction; not in the destruction of the Jews, but the Assyrians: the sense is, that the anger of God towards the people of the Jews for the present should be discontinued, when the Assyrian army was destroyed. The Targum is, "for yet a very little while, and the curses shall cease from you of the house of Jacob; and mine anger shall be upon the people that work iniquity, to destroy them;'' that is, the Assyrians.
