Isaiah 14:27
25 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.
The LORD of Hosts has purposed, and who can thwart Him? His hand is outstretched, so who can turn it back?
28 In the year that King Ahaz died, this burden was received:
29 Do not rejoice, all you Philistines, that the rod that struck you is broken. For a viper will spring from the root of the snake, and a flying serpent from its egg.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
