An Oracle Concerning Assyria

Isaiah 14

24 The Lord of hosts has sworn:
q "As I have planned,
so shall it be,
and as I have purposed,
so shall it stand,
 25 that r I will break the Assyrian in my land,
and on my mountains trample him underfoot;
and s his yoke shall depart from them,
and s his burden from their shoulder."

26 This is the purpose that is purposed
concerning the whole earth,
and this is t the hand that is stretched out
over all the nations.
 27 u For the Lord of hosts has purposed,
and who will annul it?
t His hand is stretched out,
and who will turn it back?
