Isaiah 14:28-32

English Standard Version

²⁹ Rejoice not, ^(C)O Philistia, all of you,
    that ^(D)the rod that struck you is broken,
for from the serpent's root will come forth an adder,
    and its fruit will be a ^(E)flying fiery serpent.
³⁰ And the firstborn of ^(F)the poor will graze,
    and ^(G)the needy lie down in safety;
but I will kill your root with famine,
    and your remnant it will slay.
^31 (H)Wail, O ^(I)gate; cry out, O city;
    melt in fear, ^(J)O Philistia, all of you!
^(K)For smoke comes out of the north,
    and there is no straggler in his ranks.

³² What will one answer the messengers of the nation?
^(L)“The Lord has founded Zion,
    and in her the afflicted of his people find refuge.”
