Context of Isaiah 14:26

24The Lord of hosts has sworn, saying, “Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass, And as I have purposed, so it shall stand: 25That I will break the Assyrian in My land, And on My mountains tread him underfoot. Then his yoke shall be removed from them, And his burden removed from their shoulders. This is the purpose that is purposed against the whole earth, And this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations. 27For the Lord of hosts has purposed, And who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, And who will turn it back?” 28This is the burden which came in the year that King Ahaz died.
