Context
A Remnant of Israel Shall Return
24Therefore this is what the Lord GOD of Hosts says: “O My people who dwell in Zion, do not fear Assyria, who strikes you with a rod and lifts his staff against you as the Egyptians did. 25For in just a little while My fury against you will subside, and My anger will turn to their destruction.” 26And the LORD of Hosts will brandish a whip against them, as when He struck Midian at the rock of Oreb. He will raise His staff over the sea, as He did in Egypt.…

For in just a very little while
This phrase emphasizes the imminence and brevity of God's wrath. The Hebrew word for "little while" is "mĕʿaṭ," which conveys a sense of something small or brief. Historically, this reflects the period of Assyrian dominance over Israel, which, though intense, was destined to be short-lived. Theologically, it reassures believers that God's judgment, while necessary, is not eternal for His people. It serves as a reminder of God's mercy and the temporary nature of His corrective discipline.

My wrath will be spent
The term "wrath" in Hebrew is "ʿebrâ," indicating a strong, passionate anger. In the context of Isaiah, God's wrath is directed towards the Assyrians, who were used as instruments of judgment against Israel but had overstepped their bounds. The phrase "will be spent" suggests a completion or exhaustion of this divine anger. It reassures the faithful that God's wrath is not capricious but purposeful and finite, ultimately leading to restoration and peace.

and My anger will turn
The Hebrew word for "anger" is "ʾap," often associated with the flaring of nostrils, symbolizing intense emotion. The phrase "will turn" (Hebrew "šûb") implies a change in direction or focus. This indicates a pivotal moment where God's anger, once directed at His people for their disobedience, will now be redirected towards their oppressors. It highlights God's justice and His commitment to vindicating His people.

to their destruction
The word "destruction" in Hebrew is "kālâ," meaning complete annihilation or consumption. This reflects the fate awaiting the Assyrians, who, despite their temporary success, would face divine retribution. Historically, this prophecy was fulfilled when the Assyrian empire eventually fell. Spiritually, it serves as a warning that those who oppose God's will and oppress His people will ultimately face His judgment. It underscores the theme of divine justice and the assurance that God will protect and deliver His faithful.

(25) The indignation shall cease . . .--The "indignation" is the wrath of Jehovah poured out upon His people. That wrath is to cease, and His anger shall be for the destruction of their enemies.

Verse 25. - The indignation shall cease; rather, there shall be an end of wrath; i.e. "my wrath against Israel shall come to an end" - Israel having been sufficiently punished. And mine auger in their destruction; rather, and my anger shall be to their destruction; i.e. to the destruction of the Assyrians (see the margin of the Revised Version).
