Isaiah 14:28-32
English Standard Version
An Oracle Concerning Philistia
28 In the year that (A)King Ahaz died came this (B)oracle:
29 Rejoice not, (C)O Philistia, all of you,
that (D)the rod that struck you is broken,
for from the serpent's root will come forth an adder,
and its fruit will be a (E)flying fiery serpent.
30 And the firstborn of (F)the poor will graze,
and (G)the needy lie down in safety;
but I will kill your root with famine,
and your remnant it will slay.
31 (H)Wail, O (I)gate; cry out, O city;
melt in fear, (J)O Philistia, all of you!
(K)For smoke comes out of the north,
and there is no straggler in his ranks.
32 What will one answer the messengers of the nation?
(L)“The Lord has founded Zion,
and in her the afflicted of his people find refuge.”
