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?”

To comfort the Jews, lest they should fear that people; not in order to call the Philistines to repentance, since the prophecy was probably never circulated among them. They had been subdued by Uzziah or Azariah (II Chronicles 26:6); but in the reign of Ahaz (II Chronicles 28:18), they took several towns in south Judea. Now Isaiah denounces their final subjugation by Hezekiah.
