24. The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, [so] shall it stand: 25. That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders. 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. 27. For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul [it]? and his hand [is] stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

Theological / Devotional

As I have purposed. The long message against Babylon is followed by a short pronouncement against Assyria (vs. 24-27). Assyria was accustomed to having its own way. By the might of her armies she believed that she could force her will upon all the world. God, however, would teach her that it is His will, not hers, that controls the earth. No purpose contrary to His will can prevail.
