The Book of Isaiah - A Prophecy of Doom

i thought i should explain more about the context, because it makes that quote especially interesting and even scary. So what's going on here? Well, this is actually a prophecy of doom. The author is pronouncing a verdict of divine judgment and punishment against the people of israel and judah. He says they have ignored god's instructions and chosen to live in wickedness. But then it starts getting with the really lixcar expressive metaphors. Wo, so first he just recks and stabilizes everything in this sinful nation,. Then he calls to a invading army to come on over and finish him off.
