Isaiah 14:27 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 14:27

For the Lord of hosts hath purposed
What is before declared, the fall of Babylon, and the destruction of the Assyrian, and everything else that comes to pass in this world; there is nothing comes to pass but he has purposed, and everything he has purposed does come to pass: and who shall disannul [it]?
not the most powerful monarch, or most powerful armies, or the most refined councils of men, or the greatest politicians on earth: and his hand [is] stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
or aside, from giving the blow it is designed to give; no power on earth is equal to it.

Isaiah 14:27 In-Context

25 sic eveniet ut conteram Assyrium in terra mea et in montibus meis conculcem eum et auferetur ab eis iugum eius et onus illius ab umero eorum tolletur
26 hoc consilium quod cogitavi super omnem terram et haec est manus extenta super universas gentes
27 Dominus enim exercituum decrevit et quis poterit infirmare et manus eius extenta et quis avertet eam
28 in anno quo mortuus est rex Ahaz factum est onus istud
29 ne laeteris Philisthea omnis tu quoniam comminuta est virga percussoris tui de radice enim colubri egredietur regulus et semen eius absorbens volucrem
