The parashah sections listed here are based on the Aleppo Codex.As reflected in the [http://mechon-mamre.org/e/et/et0.htm Jewish Publication Society's 1917 edition of the Hebrew Bible in English]. Isaiah 10 is a part of the Prophecies about Judah and Israel (Isaiah 1-12). {P}: open parashah; {S}: closed parashah.

:Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees

::and who write unjust judgments which they have prescribed{{bibleref2|Isaiah|10:1–4|MEV}} MEV

Verses 1–4 function as a bridge between series of passages ending with the same refrain (cf. verse 4; continuing the discourse of Isaiah 9, and extends the "woes" set out in chapter 5), and the attack on Assyria, which shares one introduction.{{sfn|Coggins|2007|p=447}}

:Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners,

::and they shall fall under the slain.

:For all this his anger is not turned away,

::but his hand is stretched out still.{{bibleverse|Isaiah|10:4|KJV}} KJV

The refrain "For all this ... still" first appeared in Isaiah 5:25 and also appears here as well as in Isaiah 9:12, 9:17, and 9:21.Note [b] on Isaiah 9:12 in NET Bible

Isaiah condemns Assyria for not realising that it is "an instrument of divine wrath upon all Israel":

:"Can an ax claim to be greater than the one who uses it?{{bibleverse|Isaiah|10:15|GNT}} GNT

:The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.{{bibleref2|Isaiah|10:21|MEV}} MEV

• "[The] mighty God": from Hebrew {{lang|he|אֵל גִּבּוֹר}}, ʾel gibbor, appears only here and in Isaiah 9:6, although similar titles appear in Deuteronomy 10:17 and Nehemiah 9:32 ["the great, mighty, and awesome God"] and in Jeremiah 32:18 ["the great and mighty God"]; all titles refer to God.Note on Isaiah 10:21 in NET Bible

: For though your people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea,

:: A remnant of them will return;

:The destruction decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

:For the Lord God of hosts

::Will make a determined end

::In the midst of all the land.{{bibleref2|Isaiah|10:22-23|NKJV}} NKJV

There verses are cited by the Apostle Paul in his Epistle to the Romans (chapter 9:27–28).
