Yesaya 14:24
Konteks14:24 1 The Lord who commands armies makes this solemn vow:
“Be sure of this:
Just as I have intended, so it will be;
just as I have planned, it will happen.
Yesaya 14:26-27
Konteks14:26 This is the plan I have devised for the whole earth;
my hand is ready to strike all the nations.” 2

and who can possibly frustrate it?
His hand is ready to strike,
and who can possibly stop it? 4
