Context — God’s Purpose against Assyria
23“I will make her a place for owls and for swamplands; I will sweep her away with the broom of destruction,” declares the LORD of Hosts.
24The LORD of Hosts has sworn: “Surely, as I have planned, so will it be; as I have purposed, so will it stand.
25I will break Assyria in My land; I will trample him on My mountain. His yoke will be taken off My people, and his burden removed from their shoulders.”
26This is the plan devised for the whole earth, and this is the hand stretched out over all the nations. 27The LORD of Hosts has purposed, and who can thwart Him? His hand is outstretched, so who can turn it back?Cross References

Isaiah 14:25 Summary
This verse, Isaiah 14:25, means that God will defeat the Assyrian empire and free His people from their oppression. God is saying that He will break the power of Assyria and remove the burden they have placed on His people, giving them rest and freedom (as seen in Matthew 11:28-30). This shows us that God is a powerful and loving God who cares for His people and wants to set them free. Just as God freed His people from Assyria, He can also free us from the things that burden us, if we trust in Him and surrender to His love and care (as promised in Jeremiah 29:11).

The yoke represents the burden and oppression of the Assyrians, and God taking it off means He is freeing His people from their slavery and oppression, giving them rest, as promised in Matthew 11:28-30 and seen in the context of Isaiah 14:25.

Isaiah 14:25 That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.Ver. 25. That I will break the Assyrian in my Land.] Or, As in breaking the Assyrian in my land; for here, saith Junius, the overthrow of the Assyrian monarchy, which should shortly be, is given for a sign of the overthrow of the Babylonian.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 14:25
(25) That I will break the Assyrian in my land . . .—The words found their fulfilment in the destruction of Sennacherib’s army. The “mountains” are the hills round Jerusalem on which the army of the Assyrians was encamped. They were sacred, as the phrase, “my mountains,” shows, to Jehovah (comp. Isaiah 49:11; Isaiah 65:9; Zechariah 14:5), and He, therefore, would put forth His power to rescue them from the proud invader.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 14:25
Verse 25. I will break the Assyrian - upon my mountains - "To crush the Assyrian - on my mountains"] The Assyrians and Babylonians are the same people, Herod. i. 199, 200. Babylon is reckoned the principal city in Assyria, ibid. 178. Strabo says the same thing, lib. xvi. sub init. The circumstance of this judgment being to be executed on God's mountains is of importance; it may mean the destruction of Sennacherib's army near Jerusalem, and have a still farther view: compare Ezekiel 39:4; and see Lowth on this place of Isaiah.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 14:25
25. my mountains] i.e. the mountain land of Palestine. then shall his yoke depart …] See ch. Isaiah 9:4, Isaiah 10:27.

That I will break - That I will break his power; that I will discomfit and destroy his army. The Assyrian - Sennacherib (see Isa. 10.) In my land - That is, in the land of Canaan.
