Isaiah 14:24-32
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
24 The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying: Surely as I have thought, so shall it be: and as I have purposed,
25 So shall it fall out: That I will destroy the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: and his yoke shall be taken away from them, and his burden shall be taken off their shoulder.
26 This is the counsel, that I have purposed upon all the earth, and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all nations.
27 For the Lord of hosts hath decreed, and who can disannul it? and his hand is stretched out: and who shall turn it away?
28 In the year that king Achaz died, was this burden:
29 Rejoice not thou, whole Philistia, that the rod of him that struck thee is broken in pieces: for out of the root of the serpent shall come forth a basilisk, and his seed shall swallow the bird.
30 And the firstborn of the poor shall be fed, and the poor shall rest with confidence: and I will make thy root perish with famine, and I will kill thy remnant.
31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city: all Philistia is thrown down: for a smoke shall come from the north, and there is none that shall escape his troop.
32 And what shall be answered to the messengers of the nations? That the Lord hath founded Sion, and the poor of his people shall hope in him.

Isaiah 14:24-32
New International Version
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)”
26 This is the plan(G) determined for the whole world;
this is the hand(H) stretched out over all nations.
27 For the Lord Almighty has purposed,(I) and who can thwart him?
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)”
