Isaiah 14:24-27

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

A FURTHER PROPHECY OF DELIVERANCE FROM ASSYRIA. From the distant prospect of an ultimate deliverance from the power of Babylon, the prophet turns his gaze to a nearer, if not a greater, deliverance. The present enemy is Assyria.

It is she who has carried Samaria into captivity, and who now threatens the independence of Judah. Deliverance from her has already been promised more than once (, , , ); but apparently the people are not reassured—they still dread the foe who is so near, and who seems so irresistible.

God, therefore, condescends to give them a fresh prophecy, a fresh assurance, and to confirm it to them by an oath (). The Assyrian power shall be broken—her yoke shall be cast off (); God has declared his purpose, and nothing can hinder it ().
