Isaiah 14:25

Protection and safety

23 “I will make her a place for owls and for swamplands; I will sweep her away with the broom of destruction,” declares the LORD of Hosts.

24 The LORD of Hosts has sworn: “Surely, as I have planned, so will it be; as I have purposed, so will it stand.

I will break Assyria in My land; I will trample him on My mountain. His yoke will be taken off My people, and his burden removed from their shoulders.”

26 This is the plan devised for the whole earth, and this is the hand stretched out over all the nations.

27 The LORD of Hosts has purposed, and who can thwart Him? His hand is outstretched, so who can turn it back?

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
