Isa. 14:1 For the Lord will have compassion. Judgment (ch. 13) clears the way for God’s compassion. will again choose Israel. God restores them to his purpose of grace. sojourners. Gentiles who live among the people of Israel; see Ex. 23:9; Deut. 10:19. God’s people multiply as outsiders join them (see Isa. 2:2–4; 56:3–8).

Isa. 14:2 the house of Israel . . . the Lord’s land. God will use the nations to bless his people (see 60:1–16).

Isa. 14:4 the king of Babylon. The royal figure, personifying Babylonian arrogance, is taunted by his victims, not immortalized through the praises of his admirers.

Isa. 14:12–15 fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! Using rich poetic imagery, the king of Babylon is addressed with sarcastic irony. From the great heights of his pride, arrogance, and rebellion against God, his downfall brings him to the depths of Sheol. Some have seen in these verses a poetic allusion in which the fallen king of Babylon is likened to a fallen Satan; see note on Ezek. 28:11–19.

Isa. 14:21 Babylon’s proud royal line will end forever, while Isaiah expects David’s royal line to last forever and to bless all mankind (9:6–7; see Psalm 45; 72).

Isa. 14:22–23 With three declarations of divine resolve—declares the Lord—the true Ruler of history vows to sweep the dynasty of Babylon away, preserving no remnant.

Isa. 14:25–26 God will break the Assyrian in my land (see chs. 36–37). This short-term fulfillment of God’s word encourages the belief that everything he says concerning the whole earth will be fulfilled.

Isa. 14:28–32 The second oracle of 13:1–20:6 concerns Philistia.

Isa. 14:28 the year that King Ahaz died. Around 715 b.c.

Isa. 14:29 God warns Philistia not to take pleasure in the fact that the rod that struck you is broken. This may refer either to the Davidic dynasty, which was reduced to puppet status under Assyria, or to the Assyrian Empire, which may have suffered a setback.

Isa. 14:30–32 God promises safety for his own but fear for Philistia, which is left without a remnant.
