26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.
26 This is the plan determined for the whole world; this is the hand stretched out over all nations.
26 This is the purpose that is purposed concerning the whole earth, and this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.
26 This is the plan, planned for the whole earth, And this is the hand that will do it, reaching into every nation.
26 This is the purpose that is purposed against the whole earth, And this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.
26 I have a plan for the whole earth, a hand of judgment upon all the nations.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Isaiah 14:26
Commentary on Isaiah 14:24-27
(Read Isaiah 14:24-27)
Let those that make themselves a yoke and a burden to God's people, see what they are to expect. Let those that are the called according to God's purpose, comfort themselves, that whatever God has purposed, it shall stand. The Lord of hosts has purposed to break the Assyrian's yoke; his hand is stretched out to execute this purpose; who has power to turn it back? By such dispensations of providence, the Almighty shows in the most convincing manner, that sin is hateful in his sight.
