Isaiah 10:11

11 shall I not do to Jerusalem and her idols what I have done to Samaria and her images?"

Isaiah 10:11 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 10:11

Shall I not, as I have done to Samaria, and her idols,
&c.] Kimchi observes, that what is said in the preceding verses was said before Samaria was taken, but this after it was taken: so do to Jerusalem, and her idols;
he had taken Samaria, and carried the ten tribes captive, and now his eye was upon Judah and Jerusalem; and such was his insolence, impiety, and blasphemy, that he reckons the true God, whom the Jews worshipped, among the idols of the Gentiles, and upon a level with them, if not inferior to them, especially to his own idol, and thought himself superior to him.

10 As my hand has reached to the kingdoms of the idols whose images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11 shall I not do to Jerusalem and her idols what I have done to Samaria and her images?"
12 When the Lord has finished all his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, he will punish the arrogant boasting of the king of Assyria and his haughty pride.
13 For he says: "By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I have understanding; I have removed the boundaries of peoples, and have plundered their treasures; like a bull I have brought down those who sat on thrones.
