This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa 14:24-27. Confirmation of this by the hereforetold destruction of the Assyrians under Sennacherib.
A pledge to assure the captives in Babylon that He who, with such ease, overthrew the Assyrian, could likewise effect His purpose as to Babylon. The Babylonian king, the subject of this prediction, is Belshazzar, as representative of the kingdom (Dan 5:1-31).
Isa 14:24-27. A fragment as to the destruction of the Assyrians under Sennacherib.
This would comfort the Jews when captives in Babylon, being a pledge that God, who had by that time fulfilled the promise concerning Sennacherib (though now still future), would also fulfil His promise as to destroying Babylon, Judah’s enemy.
In this verse the Lord’s thought (purpose) stands in antithesis to the Assyrians’ thoughts (Isa 10:7). (See Isa 46:10, Isa 46:11; 1Sa 15:29; Mal 3:6).
