Isaiah 14:2-4
The Voice
2 who will take them in. These others will work for and among Israel. Whoever used to hold Israel captive—controlling the people’s every moment and every move—will in turn be controlled by Israel; and whoever used to oppress Israel will instead be subject to Israel.
3 Ah, Israel, there will be a time when the Eternal will give you rest from the burden of your labor, the pain of your servitude. 4 And then you will take up this chant against the fallen king of Babylon:
People: How silent and still the oppressor;
the pressure is gone; the raging is done!
Isaiah 14:2-4
New International Version
2 Nations will take them
and bring(A) them to their own place.
And Israel will take possession of the nations(B)
and make them male and female servants in the Lord’s land.
They will make captives(C) of their captors
and rule over their oppressors.(D)
3 On the day the Lord gives you relief(E) from your suffering and turmoil(F) and from the harsh labor forced on you,(G) 4 you will take up this taunt(H) against the king of Babylon:(I)
