Isaiah 14:28-30

New International Reader's Version

²⁹ “The rod of Assyria has struck all of you Philistines.
    But do not be glad that it is broken.
That rod is like a snake that will produce an even more poisonous snake.
    It will produce a darting, poisonous serpent.
³⁰ Even the poorest people in Israel will have plenty to eat.
    Those who are in need will lie down in safety.
But I will destroy your families.
    They will die of hunger.
    I will kill any of them who are still left alive.
