The Context of Isaiah 10:25
Isaiah specifies that God's corrective anger toward Israel is temporary.
What Does Isaiah 10:25 Mean?
The duration of judgment is explicitly limited: 'a very little while.' This temporal boundary is crucial—Israel need not fear perpetual abandonment or destruction. God's indignation serves a purpose and has an endpoint.
The phrase 'mine anger in their destruction' refers to God's wrath being directed toward Assyria's destruction, not Israel's. The shift in object shows that judgment has served its corrective purpose toward Israel, and now turns to reckon with the aggressor.
