'Decreed' in the Bible

For even if your people of Israel number as many as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will return. Overwhelming, righteous destruction is decreed,

because the Lord GOD of the Heavenly Armies will bring about destruction, as has been decreed, throughout the entire region.

But as for you, don't start mocking, or your chains will become tighter; for I have heard from the LORD of the Heavenly Armies about destruction, and it is decreed against the whole land.
