Isaiah 10:24
ESV Therefore thus says the Lord GOD of hosts: “O my people, who dwell in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrians when they strike with the rod and lift up their staff against you as the Egyptians did.
NIV Therefore this is what the Lord, the LORD Almighty, says: 'My people who live in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrians, who beat you with a rod and lift up a club against you, as Egypt did.
NASB Therefore this is what the Lord God of armies says: 'My people, you who dwell in Zion, do not fear the Assyrian who strikes you with the rod, and lifts up his staff against you the way Egypt did.
CSB Therefore, the Lord God of Armies says this: "My people who dwell in Zion, do not fear Assyria, though they strike you with a rod and raise their staff over you as the Egyptians did.
NLT So this is what the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, says: 'O my people in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrians when they oppress you with rod and club as the Egyptians did long ago.
KJV Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.

What does Isaiah 10:24 mean?

This book of prophecy has declared the certainty of God's coming judgment on Israel and Judah through the Assyrians (Isaiah 10:5–7). Also presented is comfort, in that a remnant will survive and return to trust in the Lord (Isaiah 10:21–22). Now Isaiah quotes the Lord's words to those who remain. He once more refers to God by the name that emphasizes His power: the Lord of hosts or the Lord Almighty.

The Lord tells His people who dwell in Zion, or Jerusalem, not to fear the Assyrians when they strike as the Egyptians did. He is not telling His people that no harm will come to them. But He is offering the long-term hope that some will survive. A new season will begin after the time of the Assyrians has ended. God wants His people to remember their long-ago captivity in Egypt. They suffered greatly, but then the Lord brought their suffering to an end and He saved them. This new beginning brought a new season in their relationship with the Lord.
