Isaiah 10:32 Summary
Isaiah 10:32 tells us that the Assyrian army will stop at a city called Nob and shake their fist at Jerusalem, showing their contempt for the city and its God. This is a picture of how people often rebel against God and His people, but as we see in Isaiah 10:33, God is a God of justice and judgment, who will not tolerate such arrogance. We can trust in God's power and protection, even when faced with danger or opposition, just like the people of Jerusalem were (Psalm 46:1-3). By trusting in God, we can have peace and confidence, even in the midst of challenging circumstances (Philippians 4:6-7).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of Nob in Isaiah 10:32?
Nob was a city near Jerusalem, and the fact that the Assyrian army will halt there indicates they are very close to attacking Jerusalem, as seen in Isaiah 10:32, shaking a fist at the mount of Daughter Zion, at the hill of Jerusalem, similar to how God warned His people in Deuteronomy 28:49-50 that He would bring a nation against them if they disobeyed Him.
Why is the Assyrian army shaking a fist at Jerusalem?
The Assyrian army is shaking a fist at Jerusalem as an act of defiance and mockery, showing their contempt for the city and its God, much like the Philistines did in 1 Samuel 17:43 when they mocked David and the God of the Israelites.
What can we learn about God's character from this verse?
This verse shows that God is a God of justice and judgment, who will not tolerate the arrogance and pride of nations, as seen in Isaiah 10:33 where He will lop off the branches with terrifying power, similar to how He judged the nations in Isaiah 13:6-16.
How does this verse relate to the overall message of Isaiah 10?
This verse is part of a larger prophecy about God's judgment on Assyria and the nations, and it highlights the foolishness of trusting in human power and military might, as seen in Isaiah 10:24-34, where God promises to judge Assyria and save His people, similar to His promise in Isaiah 41:10-14.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I, like the Assyrian army, may be shaking a fist at God or His people, and what can I do to repent and turn to Him?
- How can I trust in God's power and protection, even when faced with overwhelming opposition or danger, like the people of Jerusalem in Isaiah 10:32?
- What are some areas in my life where I may be trusting in human strength or wisdom, rather than in God's power and wisdom, and how can I shift my focus to trusting in Him?
- What can I learn from the example of the Assyrian army, who were confident in their own strength but were ultimately judged by God, and how can I apply that to my own life?
Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 10:32

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 10:32
He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages: Onward gradual march of Sennacherib's army toward Jerusalem, and the panic of the inhabitants, vividly pictured before the eyes.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 10:32
He shall shake his hand, by way of commination. But withal he intimates that he should be able to do no more against it, and that there his proud waves should be stayed, as it is declared in the following verses, and in the history.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 10:32
Isaiah 10:32 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand [against] the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.Ver. 32. He shall shake his hand,] viz., At Jerusalem, as threatening her destruction; but she shall shake her head at him in contempt God oft lets his enemies go to the utmost of their tether, and then pulls them back to their tasks with shame enough, as he did Pharaoh.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 10:32
32. Render with Cheyne: This very day he will halt in Nob, swinging his hand, &c. Nob (1 Samuel 21, 1 Samuel 22; Nehemiah 11:32) must be sought in the immediate vicinity of Jerusalem, but its site has not yet been ascertained. The most probable conjecture is that it was on the height of Scopus overlooking the city from the north.
