Isaiah 14:28-32

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²⁹ Don’t rejoice, all of you in Philistia,
because the rod of the one who struck you^(C) is broken.
For a viper will come from the root^[a] of a snake,
and from its egg comes a flying serpent.^(D)
30 Then the firstborn^(E) of the poor will be well fed,
and the impoverished will lie down in safety,
but I will kill your root with hunger,
and your remnant will be slain.^[b]
31 Wail, you gates!^(F) Cry out, city!
Tremble with fear,^(G) all Philistia!
For a cloud of dust is coming from the north,^(H)
and there is no one missing from the invader’s ranks.
³² What answer will be given to the messengers from that nation?
The Lord has founded Zion,^(I)
and His afflicted people find refuge in her.
