Isaiah 14:26

Isaiah 14:26

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.

26 This is the ^apurpose 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 ^apurposed,
And who will annul it?
His hand is stretched out,
And who will turn it back?”

Philistia Destroyed

28 This is the¹ burden which came in the year that ^aKing Ahaz died.

29 “Do not rejoice, all you of Philistia,
^aBecause the rod that struck you is broken;
For out of the serpent’s roots will come forth a viper,
^bAnd its offspring will be a fiery flying serpent.
