Isaiah 14:23

Isaiah 14:23

21 Prepare slaughter for his children
^aBecause of the iniquity of their fathers,
Lest they rise up and possess the land,
And fill the face of the world with cities.”

Babylon Destroyed

22 “For I will rise up against them,” says the Lord of hosts,
“And cut off from Babylon ^athe name and ^bremnant,
^cAnd offspring and posterity,” says the Lord.

23 “I will also make it a possession for the ^aporcupine,
And marshes of muddy water;
I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,” says the Lord of hosts.

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 ^astand:

25 That I will break the ^aAssyrian in My land,
And on My mountains tread him underfoot.
Then ^bhis yoke shall be removed from them,
And his burden removed from their shoulders.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Isaiah 14:22

Isaiah 14:24 >>

Bittern - A great water fowl, which delights in solitary places, as also in watery grounds. Such as those were about Babylon. Pools - The ground about Babylon was of itself very moist, because of the great river Euphrates, running by it, which was kept from overflowing the country with charge and labour; this being neglected, when the city was destroyed, it was easily turned into pools of water.
