Isaiah 14

1For Jehovah^H3068 will have compassion^H7355 on Jacob^H3290, and will yet choose^H977 Israel^H3478, and set^H3240 them in their own land^H127: and the sojourner^H1616 shall join^H3867 himself with them, and they shall cleave^H5596 to the house^H1004 of Jacob^H3290. 2And the peoples^H5971 shall take^H3947 them, and bring^H935 them to their place^H4725; and the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478 shall possess^H5157 them in the land^H127 of Jehovah^H3068 for servants^H5650 and for handmaids^H8198: and they shall take them captive^H7617 whose captives^H7617 they were; and they shall rule^H7287 over their oppressors^H5065. 3And it shall come to pass in the day^H3117 that Jehovah^H3068 shall give thee rest^H5117 from thy sorrow^H6090, and from thy trouble^H6090, and from the hard^H7186 service^H5656 wherein thou wast made to serve^H5647, 4that thou shalt take up^H5375 this parable^H4912 against the king^H4428 of Babylon^H894, and say^H559, How hath the oppressor^H5065 ceased^H7673! the golden city^H4062 ceased^H7673! 5Jehovah^H3068 hath broken^H7665 the staff^H4294 of the wicked^H7563, the sceptre^H7626 of the rulers^H4910; 6that smote^H5221 the peoples^H5971 in wrath^H5678 with a continual^H1115 stroke^H4347, that ruled^H7287 the nations^H1471 in anger^H639, with a persecution^H4783 that none^H1097 restrained^H2820. 7The whole earth^H776 is at rest^H5117, and is quiet^H8252: they break forth^H6476 into singing^H7440. 8Yea, the fir-trees^H1265 rejoice^H8055 at thee, and the cedars^H730 of Lebanon^H3844, saying, Since thou art laid low^H7901, no hewer^H3772 is come up^H5927 against us. 9Sheol^H7585 from beneath is moved^H7264 for thee to meet^H7125 thee at thy coming^H935; it stirreth up^H5782 the dead^H7496 for thee, even all the chief ones^H6260 of the earth^H776; it hath raised up^H6965 from their thrones^H3678 all the kings^H4428 of the nations^H1471. 10All they shall answer^H6030 and say^H559 unto thee, Art thou also become weak^H2470 as we? art thou become like^H4911 unto us? 11Thy pomp^H1347 is brought down^H3381 to Sheol^H7585, and the noise^H1998 of thy viols^H5035: the worm^H7415 is spread^H3331 under thee, and worms^H8438 cover^H4374 thee. 12How art thou fallen^H5307 from heaven^H8064, O day-star^H1966, son^H1121 of the morning^H7837! how art thou cut down^H1438 to the ground^H776, that didst lay low^H2522 the nations^H1471! 13And thou saidst^H559 in thy heart^H3824, I will ascend^H5927 into heaven^H8064, I will exalt^H7311 my throne^H3678 above^H4605 the stars^H3556 of God^H410; and I will sit^H3427 upon the mount^H2022 of congregation^H4150, in the uttermost parts^H3411 of the north^H6828; 14I will ascend^H5927 above the heights^H1116 of the clouds^H5645; I will make myself like^H1819 the Most High^H5945. 15Yet thou shalt be brought down^H3381 to Sheol^H7585, to the uttermost parts^H3411 of the pit^H953. 16They that see^H7200 thee shall gaze^H7688 at thee, they shall consider^H995 thee, saying, Is this the man^H376 that made the earth^H776 to tremble^H7264, that did shake^H7493 kingdoms^H4467; 17that made^H7760 the world^H8398 as a wilderness^H4057, and overthrew^H2040 the cities^H5892 thereof; that let not loose^H6605 his prisoners^H615 to their home^H1004? 18All the kings^H4428 of the nations^H1471, all of them, sleep^H7901 in glory^H3519, every one^H376 in his own house^H1004. 19But thou art cast forth^H7993 away from thy sepulchre^H6913 like an abominable^H8581 branch^H5342, clothed^H3830 with the slain^H2026, that are thrust through^H2944 with the sword^H2719, that go down^H3381 to the stones^H68 of the pit^H953; as a dead body^H6297 trodden under foot^H947. 20Thou shalt not be joined^H3161 with them in burial^H6900, because thou hast destroyed^H7843 thy land^H776, thou hast slain^H2026 thy people^H5971; the seed^H2233 of evil-doers^H7489 shall not be named^H7121 for ever^H5769. 21Prepare^H3559 ye slaughter^H4293 for his children^H1121 for the iniquity^H5771 of their fathers^H1, that they rise^H6965 not^H1077 up, and possess^H3423 the earth^H776, and fill^H4390 the face^H6440 of the world^H8398 with cities^H6145. 22And I will rise up^H6965 against them, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635, and cut off^H3772 from Babylon^H894 name^H8034 and remnant^H7605, and son^H5209 and son's son^H5220, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068. 23I will also make^H7760 it a possession^H4180 for the porcupine^H7090, and pools^H98 of water^H4325: and I will sweep^H2894 it with the besom^H4292 of destruction^H8045, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635. 24Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635 hath sworn^H7650, saying^H559, Surely, as I have thought^H1819, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed^H3289, so shall it stand^H6965: 25that I will break^H7665 the Assyrian^H804 in my land^H776, and upon my mountains^H2022 tread him under foot^H947: then shall his yoke^H5923 depart^H5493 from off them, and his burden^H5448 depart^H5493 from off their shoulder^H7926. 26This is the purpose^H6098 that is purposed^H3289 upon the whole earth^H776; and this is the hand^H3027 that is stretched out^H5186 upon all the nations^H1471. 27For Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635 hath purposed^H3289, and who shall annul^H6565 it? and his hand^H3027 is stretched out^H5186, and who shall turn it back^H7725? 28In the year^H8141 that king^H4428 Ahaz^H271 died^H4194 was this burden^H4853. 29Rejoice^H8055 not, O Philistia^H6429, all of thee, because the rod^H7626 that smote^H5221 thee is broken^H7665; for out of the serpent's^H5175 root^H8328 shall come forth^H3318 an adder^H6848, and his fruit^H6529 shall be a fiery^H8314 flying^H5774 serpent^H8314. 30And the first-born^H1060 of the poor^H1800 shall feed^H7462, and the needy^H34 shall lie down^H7257 in safety^H983; and I will kill^H4191 thy root^H8328 with famine^H7458, and thy remnant^H7611 shall be slain^H2026. 31Howl^H3213, O gate^H8179; cry^H2199, O city^H5892; thou art melted^H4127 away, O Philistia^H6429, all of thee; for there cometh^H935 a smoke^H6227 out of the north^H6828, and there is no straggler^H909 in his ranks^H4151. 32What then shall one answer^H6030 the messengers^H4397 of the nation^H1471? That Jehovah^H3068 hath founded^H3245 Zion^H6726, and in her shall the afflicted^H6041 of his people^H5971 take refuge^H2620.
