Isaiah 52:4
Douay-Rheims
For thus saith the Lord God: My people went down into Egypt at the beginning to sojourn there: and the Assyrian hath oppressed them without any cause at all.
Ibn Ezra
My people went down, etc. Many evils came over my people from the beginning; for when, long ago, they went down to Egypt to sojourn there, they were oppressed. באפס Without cause. For nothing. And the Assyrian without cause oppressed them. This refers to the exile of the ten tribes.
