Yesaya 14:24
Konteks14:24 1 The Lord who commands armies makes this solemn vow:
“Be sure of this:
Just as I have intended, so it will be;
just as I have planned, it will happen.
Yesaya 14:26-27
Konteks14:26 This is the plan I have devised for the whole earth;
my hand is ready to strike all the nations.” 2
14:27 Indeed, 3 the Lord who commands armies has a plan,
and who can possibly frustrate it?
His hand is ready to strike,
and who can possibly stop it? 4
Yesaya 46:11
Konteks46:11 who summons an eagle 5 from the east,
from a distant land, one who carries out my plan.
Yes, I have decreed, 6
yes, I will bring it to pass;
I have formulated a plan,
yes, I will carry it out.
[14:24] 1 sn Having announced the downfall of the Chaldean empire, the Lord appends to this prophecy a solemn reminder that the Assyrians, the major Mesopotamian power of Isaiah’s day, would be annihilated, foreshadowing what would subsequently happen to Babylon and the other hostile nations.
