Isaiah 14:29-32

English Standard Version

²⁹ Rejoice not, ^(A)O Philistia, all of you,
    that ^(B)the rod that struck you is broken,
for from the serpent's root will come forth an adder,
    and its fruit will be a ^(C)flying fiery serpent.
³⁰ And the firstborn of ^(D)the poor will graze,
    and ^(E)the needy lie down in safety;
but I will kill your root with famine,
    and your remnant it will slay.
^31 (F)Wail, O ^(G)gate; cry out, O city;
    melt in fear, ^(H)O Philistia, all of you!
^(I)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?
^(J)“The Lord has founded Zion,
    and in her the afflicted of his people find refuge.”
