So somewhat spoken to the leaders, v1 says woe unto them that decree unrighteousness decrees which is injustice. Anything that takes away someone's right is punishable in the day of visitation, yet they can still be saved if they but turn to the lords outstretched hand (v2-4). Assyria is the tool that The Lord uses, with their weapons as His wrath, to punish the hypocritical nations (v5-6 Isaiah footnotes). He is able to use Assyria as such because they have desire in their hearts to destroy (v7). They are prideful and founded a kingdom of idols in Samaria and wants to do the same in Jerusalem (v8-11).
When The Lord has finished using Assyria as His tool in v12, he will punish the proud boasting quoted in v13-14. But for real can man prosper against God? No way! They will be punished and only a few shall be kept alive while God is exalted and burns with glory (v15-19). After all that, the remnant of the hous of Israel shall be reclaimed, gathered, and depend on The Lord (v20-23). Fear not for All this will come saith The Lord; He will lift the burden Assyria has placed (v24-27).
Back to the present in v28-34, and Assyrian armies are heading towards Jerusalem. All the names in these verses are confusing but know that it is a prophecy that is fulfilled later (Isaiah footnotes).
