For the Lord GOD of Hosts
This phrase emphasizes the sovereignty and supreme authority of God. The Hebrew term "Yahweh Sabaoth" is used here, which translates to "Lord of Hosts." This title reflects God's command over the heavenly armies and His ultimate power over all creation. Historically, this title reassures the Israelites of God's ability to protect and deliver them, despite their circumstances. It is a reminder that God is not only a personal deity but also the commander of cosmic forces, underscoring His omnipotence and the futility of opposing His will.

will carry out
The phrase indicates the certainty and inevitability of God's actions. The Hebrew verb "asah" conveys the idea of making or doing, suggesting that God's plans are not merely intentions but will be executed with precision. This reflects the biblical theme that God's word does not return void (Isaiah 55:11). It is a call to trust in God's promises and His timing, knowing that what He decrees will come to pass without fail.

the destruction decreed
This refers to a specific judgment that God has determined. The Hebrew word "kalah" can mean complete destruction or consumption, indicating the thoroughness of the judgment. The term "decreed" implies a divine decision that is irrevocable. In the context of Isaiah, this destruction is a consequence of the people's disobedience and idolatry. It serves as a sobering reminder of God's justice and the seriousness of sin, while also pointing to the hope of restoration for those who repent.

upon the whole land
This phrase signifies the scope of the judgment, which is comprehensive and affects the entire nation. The Hebrew word "eretz" can mean land or earth, and in this context, it refers to the land of Israel. Historically, this prophecy was fulfilled through the Assyrian invasion, which devastated the Northern Kingdom. It serves as a warning of the consequences of turning away from God, but also as a call to national repentance and renewal. The phrase underscores the biblical principle that God's judgments are both just and redemptive, aiming to bring His people back to Himself.

Verse 23. - The Lord... shall make a consumption; rather, a consummation - a final and decisive end of things. Even determined; i.e. "determined on beforehand." In the midst of all the land. "Throughout the entire land," not merely in some portions of it.
