Isa 24:21 | NETfull | STEP | At that time the Lord will punish the heavenly forces in the heavens and the earthly kings on the earth.

Isaiah 24:21

The Lord Will Become King

21 At that time ^{▼▼ Or “in that day” (so KJV). The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.} the Lord will punish ^{▼▼ Heb “visit [in judgment].”}
the heavenly forces in the heavens ^{▼▼ Heb “the host of the height in the height.” The “host of the height/heaven” refers to the heavenly luminaries (stars and planets, see, among others, Deut 4:19; 17:3; 2 Kgs 17:16; 21:3, 5; 23:4–5; 2 Chr 33:3, 5) that populate the divine/heavenly assembly in mythological and prescientific Israelite thought (see Job 38:7; Isa 14:13).}
and the earthly kings on the earth.
