And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
The Lord of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of - the stroke upon.
Midi (I94 Jd 725) Midian - (Isaiah 9:4; Judges 7:25.)
As his rod was upon the sea - rather, understanding stroke from the previous clause, 'according to the stroke of his rod upon the Red Sea' (Exodus 14:16; Exodus 14:26). His "rod" on the Assyrian (Isaiah 10:24; Isaiah 10:26) stands in bold contrast to the Assyrian used as a "rod" to strike others (Isaiah 10:5).
After the manner of Egypt - as He lifted it up against Egypt at the Red Sea, in contrast to the Assyrian smiting thee with his rod "after the manner of Egypt," Isaiah 10:24; - i:e., as Egypt once smote thee.
