Isaiah 14:12-32
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Isaiah 14:12-32
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 How you are fallen from heaven,
O Morning Star, son of Dawn!
How you are cut down to the ground,
you who laid the nations low!(A)
13 You said to yourself,
“I will ascend to heaven;
I will raise my throne
above the stars of God;
I will sit on the mount of assembly
on the heights of Zaphon;[a](B)
14 I will ascend to the tops of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.”(C)
15 But you are brought down to Sheol,
to the depths of the Pit.(D)
16 Those who see you will stare at you
and ponder over you:
“Is this the man who made the earth tremble,
who shook kingdoms,(E)
17 who made the world like a desert
and overthrew its cities,
who would not let his prisoners go home?”(F)
18 All the kings of the nations lie in glory,
each in his own tomb,
19 but you are cast out, away from your grave,
like loathsome carrion,[b]
clothed with the dead, those pierced by the sword,
who go down to the stones of the Pit
like a corpse trampled underfoot.(G)
20 You will not be joined with them in burial
because you have destroyed your land;
you have killed your people.
May the descendants of evildoers
nevermore be named!(H)
21 Prepare a place of slaughter for his sons
because of the guilt of their father.[c]
Let them never rise to possess the earth
or cover the face of the world with cities.(I)
22 I will rise up against them, says the Lord of hosts, and will cut off from Babylon name and remnant, offspring and posterity, says the Lord.(J) 23 And I will make it a possession of the screech owl[d] and pools of water, and I will sweep it with the broom of destruction, says the Lord of hosts.(K)
An Oracle concerning Assyria
24 The Lord of hosts has sworn:
As I have designed,
so shall it be,
and as I have planned,
so shall it come to pass:(L)
25 I will break the Assyrian in my land
and on my mountains trample him under foot;
his yoke shall be removed from them
and his burden from their shoulders.(M)
26 This is the plan that is planned
concerning the whole earth,
and this is the hand that is stretched out
over all the nations.(N)
27 For the Lord of hosts has planned,
and who will annul it?
His hand is stretched out,
and who will turn it back?(O)
An Oracle concerning Philistia
28 In the year that King Ahaz died this oracle came:(P)
29 Do not rejoice, all you Philistines,
that the rod that struck you is broken,
for from the root of the snake will come forth an adder,
and its fruit will be a flying fiery serpent.(Q)
30 In my pastures the poor[e] will graze
and the needy lie down in safety,
but I will make your root die of famine,
and your remnant I[f] will kill.(R)
31 Wail, O gate; cry, O city;
melt in fear, O Philistia, all of you!
For smoke comes out of the north,
and there is no straggler in its ranks.(S)
32 What will one answer the messengers of the nation?
“The Lord has founded Zion,
and the needy among his people
will find refuge in her.”(T)
Isaiah 14:12-32
King James Version
Isaiah 14:12-32
King James Version
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
22 For I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the Lord.
23 I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the Lord of hosts.
24 The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
25 That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.
26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.
27 For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
28 In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.
29 Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.
30 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant.
31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times.
32 What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the Lord hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.

New International Version
Isaiah 14:12-32
New International Version
12 How you have fallen(A) from heaven,
morning star,(B) son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
you who once laid low the nations!(C)
13 You said in your heart,
“I will ascend(D) to the heavens;
I will raise my throne(E)
above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,(F)
on the utmost heights(G) of Mount Zaphon.[a]
14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;(H)
I will make myself like the Most High.”(I)
15 But you are brought down(J) to the realm of the dead,(K)
to the depths(L) of the pit.(M)
16 Those who see you stare at you,
they ponder your fate:(N)
“Is this the man who shook(O) the earth
and made kingdoms tremble,
17 the man who made the world a wilderness,(P)
who overthrew(Q) its cities
and would not let his captives go home?”(R)
18 All the kings of the nations lie in state,
each in his own tomb.(S)
19 But you are cast out(T) of your tomb
like a rejected branch;
you are covered with the slain,(U)
with those pierced by the sword,(V)
those who descend to the stones of the pit.(W)
Like a corpse trampled underfoot,
20 you will not join them in burial,(X)
for you have destroyed your land
and killed your people.
Let the offspring(Y) of the wicked(Z)
never be mentioned(AA) again.
21 Prepare a place to slaughter his children(AB)
for the sins of their ancestors;(AC)
they are not to rise to inherit the land
and cover the earth with their cities.
22 “I will rise up(AD) against them,”
declares the Lord Almighty.
“I will wipe out Babylon’s name(AE) and survivors,
her offspring and descendants,(AF)”
declares the Lord.
23 “I will turn her into a place for owls(AG)
and into swampland;
I will sweep her with the broom of destruction,(AH)”
declares the Lord Almighty.(AI)
24 The Lord Almighty has sworn,(AJ)
“Surely, as I have planned,(AK) so it will be,
and as I have purposed, so it will happen.(AL)
25 I will crush the Assyrian(AM) in my land;
on my mountains I will trample him down.
His yoke(AN) will be taken from my people,
and his burden removed from their shoulders.(AO)”
26 This is the plan(AP) determined for the whole world;
this is the hand(AQ) stretched out over all nations.
27 For the Lord Almighty has purposed,(AR) and who can thwart him?
His hand(AS) is stretched out, and who can turn it back?(AT)
A Prophecy Against the Philistines
28 This prophecy(AU) came in the year(AV) King Ahaz(AW) died:
29 Do not rejoice, all you Philistines,(AX)
that the rod that struck you is broken;
from the root of that snake will spring up a viper,(AY)
its fruit will be a darting, venomous serpent.(AZ)
30 The poorest of the poor will find pasture,
and the needy(BA) will lie down in safety.(BB)
But your root I will destroy by famine;(BC)
it will slay(BD) your survivors.(BE)
31 Wail,(BF) you gate!(BG) Howl, you city!
Melt away, all you Philistines!(BH)
A cloud of smoke comes from the north,(BI)
and there is not a straggler in its ranks.(BJ)
32 What answer shall be given
to the envoys(BK) of that nation?
“The Lord has established Zion,(BL)
and in her his afflicted people will find refuge.(BM)”
