Isaías 14:24 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 14:24

The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying
The Septuagint only read, "these things saith the Lord of hosts"; for, as Kimchi on the place observes, his word is his oath; but for the comfort of his people, and for the confirmation either of the prophecies concerning the fall of Babylon, or of the following concerning the destruction of the Assyrian monarchy, or both, he adds his oath to his word, to show that the sentence passed in his mind, and now expressed, was irrevocable: surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass;
as he had shaped and schemed it, and drew the form and image in his own mind, or fixed and settled it there, so should it be done in due time, as every thing is that is determined by the Lord; and this shows that nothing is casual, or comes by chance, but everything as it is purposed of God; and that as everything comes to pass which he has resolved, so every such resolution proceeds from thought, and is the produce of the highest wisdom and prudence: and as I have purposed, so it shall stand;
or "counselled" ^F12; within himself, for he does all things according to the counsel of his will; and which always stands firm, sure, and unalterable, let what devices soever be in the heart of man.

Isaías 14:24 In-Context

22 «Yo me levantaré contra ellos—afirma el SEÑOR—.Yo extirparé de Babilonianombre y descendencia,vástago y posteridad—afirma el SEÑOR Todopoderoso—.

23 La convertiré en lugar de erizos,en charco de agua estancada;la barreré con la escoba de la destrucción»,afirma el SEÑOR Todopoderoso.

24 El SEÑOR Todopoderoso ha jurado:«Tal como lo he planeado, se cumplirá;tal como lo he decidido, se realizará.

25 Destrozaré a Asiria en mi tierra;la pisotearé sobre mis montes.Mi pueblo dejará de llevar su yugo;ya no pesará esa carga sobre sus hombros».

26 Esto es lo que he determinado para toda la tierra;esta es la mano que he extendido sobre todas las naciones.
