Isaiah 14:28-32

Modern English Version

²⁹ Rejoice not, O Philistia, all of you,
    because the rod that struck you is broken;
for out of the serpent’s root shall come forth a viper,
    and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.
³⁰ The firstborn of the poor shall feed,
    and the needy shall lie down in safety:
and I will kill your root with famine,
    and he shall slay your remnant.

³¹ Wail, O gate. Cry, O city.
    Melt away, O Philistia, all of you;
for smoke shall come from the north,
    and there is no straggler in his ranks.
³² What shall one then answer
    the messengers of the nation?
That the Lord has founded Zion,
    and the poor of His people shall trust in it.
