Context — A Remnant Shall Return
23For the Lord GOD of Hosts will carry out the destruction decreed upon the whole land.
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. 27On that day the burden will be lifted from your shoulders, and the yoke from your neck. The yoke will be broken because your neck will be too large.Cross References

Isaiah 10:25 Summary
[Isaiah 10:25 tells us that God's anger towards His people will not last forever, but will eventually turn towards those who oppose Him, like the Assyrians. This means that God is a God of justice and will punish those who hurt His people, as seen in Isaiah 30:18. We can trust God's promise to protect us because of His faithfulness, as stated in Deuteronomy 7:9-10, and His love for us, as shown in John 3:16. By understanding God's character and promises, we can have peace and trust in His sovereignty, even in difficult times, just like the Israelites did when they trusted God to deliver them from the Egyptians, as mentioned in Exodus 14:13-14.]

Who is the 'you' and 'their' in Isaiah 10:25?
The 'you' refers to God's people, while 'their' refers to the Assyrians, who were a threat to God's people, as mentioned in Isaiah 10:24, and will ultimately face God's destruction, as prophesied in Isaiah 10:25.
How can we trust God's promise to turn His anger to the destruction of our enemies?
We can trust God's promise because of His faithfulness and character, as seen in Deuteronomy 7:9-10, and His history of protecting His people, such as in Exodus 14:13-14 and Isaiah 43:2.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 10:25

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 10:25
The indignation; mine anger, as it is explained in the next clause; either, 1. Towards my people; which shall weaken the Assyrian, whose great strength lay there; of which see above, . Or, 2. Towards the Assyrian, with whom God was very angry, , &c., yea, so angry, as not to be satisfied without their destruction, as it follows. Shall cease; as anger commonly doth, when vengeance is fully executed.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 10:25
Isaiah 10:25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.Ver. 25. For yet a very little while.] Heb., A little little, or a little of a little. Yet a little modicum, and wrath shall be at an end. Oecolampadius rendereth it, Adhuc paululum, minus quam paululum. Hold out therefore faith and patience.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 10:25
(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.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 10:25
Verse 25. The indignation - "Mine indignation."] Indignatio mea, Vulg. ἡοργη, Sept. μουηοργηκατασου, MS. Pachom. Μουἡοργηἡκατασου, MS. I. D. II. So that זעמי zaami, or הזעם hazzaam, as one MS. has it, seems to be the true reading.
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 10:25
For yet a very little while - This is designed to console them with the hope of deliverance. The threatened invasion was brief and was soon ended by the pestilence that swept off the greater part of the army of the Assyrian.
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 10:25
25. Yet a very little while — Time not definite, as in Isaiah 16:14, nor does it date from the present — but it is very soon. The indignation shall cease — Whose indignation? — the Assyrian’s or God’s?
