Isaiah 14:24-27
New King James Version
Assyria Destroyed
24 The Lord of hosts has sworn, saying,
“Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass,
And as I have purposed, so it shall (A)stand:
25 That I will break the (B)Assyrian in My land,
And on My mountains tread him underfoot.
Then (C)his yoke shall be removed from them,
And his burden removed from their shoulders.
26 This is the (D)purpose that is purposed against the whole earth,
And this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.
27 For the Lord of hosts has (E)purposed,
And who will annul it?
His hand is stretched out,
And who will turn it back?”
Isaiah 14:24-27
Lexham English Bible
Oracle of Judgment on Assyria
24 Yahweh of hosts has sworn, saying,
“Surely[a] just as I have intended, so it shall be.
And just as I have planned, it shall stand:
25 to break Assyria in my land,
and I will trample him down on my mountains;
and he shall remove his yoke from them,
and he shall remove his burden from his[b] shoulders.”[c]
26 This is the plan that is planned concerning all of the earth;
and this is the hand that is stretched out over all of the nations.
27 For Yahweh of hosts has planned, and who will frustrate it?
And his hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?
