Isaiah 10:27

On that day, his burden is lifted from your shoulder and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke will be destroyed because of fatness. + 10:27 The last line of this verse is difficult because it does not seem to fit the context. Some modern versions leave out because of fatness . Other modern versions have and the yoke will be destroyed from off your neck. He has gone up from Rimmon . Here He means the Assyrian king and his army. 1
