Isaiah 14:24–27

The Lord of hosts has sworn:

“As I have planned,

so shall it be,

and as I have purposed,

so shall it stand,

that I will break the Assyrian in my land,

and on my mountains trample him underfoot;

and his yoke shall depart from them,

and his burden from their shoulder.”

This is the purpose that is purposed

concerning the whole earth,

and this is the hand that is stretched out

over all the nations.

For the Lord of hosts has purposed,

and who will annul it?

His hand is stretched out,

and who will turn it back?

The Lord Almighty has sworn,

“Surely, as I have planned, so it will be,

and as I have purposed, so it will happen.

I will crush the Assyrian in my land;

on my mountains I will trample him down.

His yoke will be taken from my people,

and his burden removed from their shoulders.”

This is the plan determined for the whole world;

this is the hand stretched out over all nations.

For the Lord Almighty has purposed, and who can thwart him?

His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?

The Lord of Armies has sworn:

As I have purposed, so it will be;

as I have planned it, so it will happen.

I will break Assyria in my land;

I will tread him down on my mountain.

Then his yoke will be taken from them,

and his burden will be removed from their shoulders.

This is the plan prepared

for the whole earth,

and this is the hand stretched out

against all the nations.

The Lord of Armies himself has planned it;

therefore, who can stand in its way?

It is his hand that is outstretched,

so who can turn it back?

The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has sworn this oath:

“It will all happen as I have planned.

It will be as I have decided.

I will break the Assyrians when they are in Israel;

I will trample them on my mountains.

My people will no longer be their slaves

nor bow down under their heavy loads.

I have a plan for the whole earth,

a hand of judgment upon all the nations.

The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has spoken—

who can change his plans?

When his hand is raised,

who can stop him?”

Yahweh of hosts has sworn, saying,

“Surely just as I have intended, so it shall be.

And just as I have planned, it shall stand:

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 shoulders.”

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.

For Yahweh of hosts has planned, and who will frustrate it?

And his hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?

The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying,

Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass;

And as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

That I will break the Assyrian in my land,

And upon my mountains tread him under foot:

Then shall his yoke depart from off them,

And his burden depart from off their shoulders.

This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth:

And this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.

For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it?

And his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
