Isaiah 14:23 in Context — Isaiah 14

21 Preparai a matança para seus filhos por causa da maldade de seus pais; para que não se levantem, e tomem posse da terra, e encham a face do mundo de cidades.

22 Porque me levantarei contra eles,diz o SENHOR dos exércitos; e cortarei para eliminar da Babilônia o nome e os restantes, o filho e o neto, diz o SENHOR.

23 E eu a porei como propriedade de corujas, e poças d´água; e a varrerei com a vassoura da destruição,diz o SENHOR dos exércitos.

24 O SENHOR dos exércitos jurou, dizendo: Com certeza acontecerá assim como pensei, e será comprido assim como determinei.

25 Quebrarei a Assíria em minha terra, e em minhas montanhas eu a esmagarei; para que seu jugo se afaste deles, e sua carga seja tirada de seus ombros.
