Context of Isaiah 14:25

23“I will make Babylon a desolate place of owls, filled with swamps and marshes. I will sweep the land with the broom of destruction. I, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, have spoken!” 24The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has sworn this oath: “It will all happen as I have planned. It will be as I have decided. I will break the Assyrians when they are in Israel; I will trample them on my mountains. My people will no longer be their slaves nor bow down under their heavy loads. 26I have a plan for the whole earth, a hand of judgment upon all the nations. 27The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has spoken— who can change his plans? When his hand is raised, who can stop him?”
