Isaiah 14:23-25

GOD’S WORD Translation

²³ “It will become the possession of herons.
It will become pools of water.
I’ll sweep it with the broom of destruction,” declares the Lord of Armies.

²⁴ The Lord of Armies has taken an oath:
“It will happen exactly as I’ve intended.
It will turn out exactly as I’ve planned.
²⁵ I’ll crush Assyria on my land.
I’ll trample it underfoot on my mountains.
Then its yoke ^[a] will be removed from my people,
and its burden will be removed from their shoulders.”
