Isaiah 14:24-32
New King James Version
Assyria Destroyed
24 The Lord of hosts has sworn, saying,
“Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass,
And as I have purposed, so it shall (A)stand:
25 That I will break the (B)Assyrian in My land,
And on My mountains tread him underfoot.
Then (C)his yoke shall be removed from them,
And his burden removed from their shoulders.
26 This is the (D)purpose that is purposed against the whole earth,
And this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.
27 For the Lord of hosts has (E)purposed,
And who will annul it?
His hand is stretched out,
And who will turn it back?”
Philistia Destroyed
28 This is the [a]burden which came in the year that (F)King Ahaz died.
29 “Do not rejoice, all you of Philistia,
(G)Because the rod that struck you is broken;
For out of the serpent’s roots will come forth a viper,
(H)And its offspring will be a fiery flying serpent.
30 The firstborn of the poor will feed,
And the needy will lie down in safety;
I will kill your roots with famine,
And it will slay your remnant.
31 Wail, O gate! Cry, O city!
All you of Philistia are dissolved;
For smoke will come from the north,
And no one will be alone in his [b]appointed times.”
32 What will they answer the messengers of the nation?
That (I)the Lord has founded Zion,
And (J)the poor of His people shall take refuge in it.

24 The Lord Almighty has sworn,(A)
“Surely, as I have planned,(B) so it will be,
and as I have purposed, so it will happen.(C)
25 I will crush the Assyrian(D) in my land;
on my mountains I will trample him down.
His yoke(E) will be taken from my people,
and his burden removed from their shoulders.(F)”

His hand(J) is stretched out, and who can turn it back?(K)
A Prophecy Against the Philistines
28 This prophecy(L) came in the year(M) King Ahaz(N) died:
29 Do not rejoice, all you Philistines,(O)
that the rod that struck you is broken;
from the root of that snake will spring up a viper,(P)
its fruit will be a darting, venomous serpent.(Q)
30 The poorest of the poor will find pasture,
and the needy(R) will lie down in safety.(S)
But your root I will destroy by famine;(T)
it will slay(U) your survivors.(V)
31 Wail,(W) you gate!(X) Howl, you city!
Melt away, all you Philistines!(Y)
A cloud of smoke comes from the north,(Z)
and there is not a straggler in its ranks.(AA)
32 What answer shall be given
to the envoys(AB) of that nation?
“The Lord has established Zion,(AC)
and in her his afflicted people will find refuge.(AD)”
