Isaiah 14
New King James Version
Mercy on Jacob
14 For the Lord (A)will have mercy on Jacob, and (B)will still choose Israel, and settle them in their own land. (C)The strangers will be joined with them, and they will cling to the house of Jacob. 2 Then people will take them (D)and bring them to their place, and the house of Israel will possess them for servants and maids in the land of the Lord; they will take them captive whose captives they were, (E)and rule over their oppressors.
Fall of the King of Babylon
3 It shall come to pass in the day the Lord gives you rest from your sorrow, and from your fear and the hard bondage in which you were made to serve, 4 that you (F)will take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say:
“How the oppressor has ceased,
The (G)golden[a] city ceased!
5 The Lord has broken (H)the staff of the wicked,
The scepter of the rulers;
6 He who struck the people in wrath with a continual stroke,
He who ruled the nations in anger,
Is persecuted and no one hinders.
7 The whole earth is at rest and quiet;
They break forth into singing.
8 (I)Indeed the cypress trees rejoice over you,
And the cedars of Lebanon,
Saying, ‘Since you [b]were cut down,
No woodsman has come up against us.’
9 “Hell(J)[c] from beneath is excited about you,
To meet you at your coming;
It stirs up the dead for you,
All the chief ones of the earth;
It has raised up from their thrones
All the kings of the nations.
10 They all shall (K)speak and say to you:
‘Have you also become as weak as we?
Have you become like us?
11 Your pomp is brought down to Sheol,
And the sound of your stringed instruments;
The maggot is spread under you,
And worms cover you.’
The Fall of Lucifer
12 “How(L) you are fallen from heaven,
O [d]Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!
13 For you have said in your heart:
(M)‘I will ascend into heaven,
(N)I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the (O)mount of the congregation
(P)On the farthest sides of the north;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
(Q)I will be like the Most High.’
15 Yet you (R)shall be brought down to Sheol,
To the [e]lowest depths of the Pit.
16 “Those who see you will gaze at you,
And consider you, saying:
‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble,
Who shook kingdoms,
17 Who made the world as a wilderness
And destroyed its cities,
Who [f]did not open the house of his prisoners?’
18 “All the kings of the nations,
All of them, sleep in glory,
Everyone in his own house;
19 But you are cast out of your grave
Like an [g]abominable branch,
Like the garment of those who are slain,
[h]Thrust through with a sword,
Who go down to the stones of the pit,
Like a corpse trodden underfoot.
20 You will not be joined with them in burial,
Because you have destroyed your land
And slain your people.
(S)The brood of evildoers shall never be named.
21 Prepare slaughter for his children
(T)Because of the iniquity of their fathers,
Lest they rise up and possess the land,
And fill the face of the world with cities.”
Babylon Destroyed
22 “For I will rise up against them,” says the Lord of hosts,
“And cut off from Babylon (U)the name and (V)remnant,
(W)And offspring and posterity,” says the Lord.
23 “I will also make it a possession for the (X)porcupine,
And marshes of muddy water;
I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,” says the Lord of hosts.
Assyria Destroyed
24 The Lord of hosts has sworn, saying,
“Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass,
And as I have purposed, so it shall (Y)stand:
25 That I will break the (Z)Assyrian in My land,
And on My mountains tread him underfoot.
Then (AA)his yoke shall be removed from them,
And his burden removed from their shoulders.
26 This is the (AB)purpose that is purposed against the whole earth,
And this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.
27 For the Lord of hosts has (AC)purposed,
And who will annul it?
His hand is stretched out,
And who will turn it back?”
Philistia Destroyed
28 This is the [i]burden which came in the year that (AD)King Ahaz died.
29 “Do not rejoice, all you of Philistia,
(AE)Because the rod that struck you is broken;
For out of the serpent’s roots will come forth a viper,
(AF)And its offspring will be a fiery flying serpent.
30 The firstborn of the poor will feed,
And the needy will lie down in safety;
I will kill your roots with famine,
And it will slay your remnant.
31 Wail, O gate! Cry, O city!
All you of Philistia are dissolved;
For smoke will come from the north,
And no one will be alone in his [j]appointed times.”
32 What will they answer the messengers of the nation?
That (AG)the Lord has founded Zion,
And (AH)the poor of His people shall take refuge in it.

Isaías 14
Palabra de Dios para Todos
Regresan los desterrados de Israel
14 Pero el SEÑOR volverá a tener compasión de Jacob, elegirá nuevamente al pueblo de Israel y los instalará en su propia tierra. Se les unirá gente que no es judía y se integrarán con la familia de Jacob. 2 Muchas naciones tomarán a los israelitas, los escoltarán a su tierra y los israelitas los harán esclavos en la tierra del SEÑOR. Capturarán a los que antes los capturaron, esclavizarán a los que antes los esclavizaron, y gobernarán a sus opresores.
Burla y castigo contra el rey de Babilonia
3 Cuando el SEÑOR te deje descansar de tus penas, sufrimientos y de la esclavitud a que te viste sometido, 4 entonces vas a cantar esta canción en son de burla contra el rey de Babilonia:
Vean en qué terminó el opresor,
cómo acabó su enojo arrogante.
5 El SEÑOR quebró el bastón del perverso,
el cetro del tirano,
6 que sin parar golpeaba furiosamente a las naciones;
oprimiendo a las naciones con enojo,
persiguiéndolas sin parar.
7 Ahora toda la tierra descansa y está tranquila;
la gente comienza a celebrar.
8 Hasta los pinos y los cedros del Líbano
se alegran de tu derrota, pues:
«Desde que tú has caído,
nadie ha venido a talarnos».
9 Allá abajo en el lugar de los muertos[a],
todo es emoción en espera de tu llegada.
Las sombras de los muertos se levantan,
salen a tu encuentro todos los líderes de la tierra,
los reyes se levantan de sus tronos.
10 Todos ellos responderán y te dirán:
«Tú también perdiste fuerza como nosotros,
terminaste igual».
11 Al lugar de los muertos vino a parar tu orgullo
y la música de tus arpas.
Allí te espera tu cama de gusanos
y tu cobija de lombrices.
12 ¡Qué caída tuviste desde los cielos,
lucero de la mañana!
Tú que conquistaste las naciones,
¡cómo caíste derribado por el suelo!
13 Tú te decías: «Subiré al cielo,
levantaré mi trono sobre las estrellas de Dios.
Visitaré la montaña donde los dioses se reúnen,
allá en las laderas del Safón[b].
14 Subiré bien arriba,
por encima de las nubes más altas
y seré como el Altísimo».
15 Pero has sido derribado hasta el lugar de los muertos,
a las profundidades del abismo.
16 Los que te ven, te miran fijamente
y reflexionan esto sobre ti:
«¿No es acaso este el hombre que hacía temblar la tierra,
estremecía los reinos,
17 hacía del mundo un desierto,
arrasaba las ciudades,
y no dejaba libre a los prisioneros?»
18 Todos los reyes de las naciones yacen en gloria y honor,
cada uno en su propio sepulcro.
19 Pero tú no fuiste enterrado en una tumba,
sino tirado como basura en la calle.
Fuiste como el cadáver de algún asesinado,
un degollado cualquiera,
que es arrojado luego a las rocas de un fosa
para que no te tengan que pisar.
20 No serás enterrado
como los otros reyes,
porque arruinaste a tu propio país,
mataste a tu mismo pueblo.
La descendencia de los malhechores
nunca más se mencionará.
21 Debido al pecado de su padre,
preparen un lugar para la matanza de sus hijos.
Ellos no tomarán posesión de la tierra,
ni llenarán el mundo con sus ciudades.
22 El SEÑOR Todopoderoso dice:
«Me levantaré en contra de ellos,
destruiré Babilonia, acabaré con su fama,
no dejaré sobrevivientes, ni hijos ni nietos»,
El SEÑOR lo ha decidido así.
23 «La convertiré en sitio de erizos y pantano.
La barreré con la escoba de la destrucción»,
dice el SEÑOR Todopoderoso.
Castigo para Asiria
24 El SEÑOR Todopoderoso ha hecho esta promesa:
«Con seguridad que como he decidido, así ha de ocurrir;
tal como lo planeé, así será.
25 Destruiré a Asiria en mi tierra,
la aplastaré en mi monte.
Zafaré el yugo que puso sobre Judá,
y le quitaré a Judá el peso de encima.
26 Eso es lo que tengo planeado para el mundo entero,
y esa es mi mano extendida sobre todas las naciones.
27 ¿Quién ha sido capaz de frustrar
los planes del SEÑOR Todopoderoso?
¿Quién ha podido detener su mano
cuando él la ha extendido?»
Castigo para los filisteos
28 Esta profecía se dio en el año de la muerte del rey Acaz[c]:
29 No se alegren, filisteos,
de que se haya quebrado el bastón que los golpeaba
porque de la familia de la serpiente saldrá una víbora
y su descendencia será una serpiente voladora peligrosa.
30 Los más pobres de los pobres comerán tranquilos
y los necesitados descansarán seguros.
Pero yo haré que tu familia muera de hambre
y que maten a los que queden.
31 ¡Chilla, puerta! ¡Grita, ciudad!
Atemorízate, Filistea, todos ustedes.
Porque del norte viene un ejército como una columna de humo,
y no tiene un solo flojo en sus filas.
32 ¿Qué van a decirles a los mensajeros de esa nación?
«El SEÑOR ha fortalecido a Sion
y los pobres de su pueblo encontrarán refugio allí».

Isaiah 14
New International Version
Isaiah 14
New International Version
14 The Lord will have compassion(A) on Jacob;
once again he will choose(B) Israel
and will settle them in their own land.(C)
Foreigners(D) will join them
and unite with the descendants of Jacob.
2 Nations will take them
and bring(E) them to their own place.
And Israel will take possession of the nations(F)
and make them male and female servants in the Lord’s land.
They will make captives(G) of their captors
and rule over their oppressors.(H)
3 On the day the Lord gives you relief(I) from your suffering and turmoil(J) and from the harsh labor forced on you,(K) 4 you will take up this taunt(L) against the king of Babylon:(M)
How the oppressor(N) has come to an end!
How his fury[a] has ended!
5 The Lord has broken the rod(O) of the wicked,(P)
the scepter(Q) of the rulers,
6 which in anger struck down peoples(R)
with unceasing blows,
and in fury subdued(S) nations
with relentless aggression.(T)
7 All the lands are at rest and at peace;(U)
they break into singing.(V)
8 Even the junipers(W) and the cedars of Lebanon
gloat over you and say,
“Now that you have been laid low,
no one comes to cut us down.”(X)
9 The realm of the dead(Y) below is all astir
to meet you at your coming;
it rouses the spirits of the departed(Z) to greet you—
all those who were leaders(AA) in the world;
it makes them rise from their thrones—
all those who were kings over the nations.(AB)
10 They will all respond,
they will say to you,
“You also have become weak, as we are;
you have become like us.”(AC)
11 All your pomp has been brought down to the grave,(AD)
along with the noise of your harps;(AE)
maggots are spread out beneath you
and worms(AF) cover you.(AG)
12 How you have fallen(AH) from heaven,
morning star,(AI) son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
you who once laid low the nations!(AJ)
13 You said in your heart,
“I will ascend(AK) to the heavens;
I will raise my throne(AL)
above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,(AM)
on the utmost heights(AN) of Mount Zaphon.[b]
14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;(AO)
I will make myself like the Most High.”(AP)
15 But you are brought down(AQ) to the realm of the dead,(AR)
to the depths(AS) of the pit.(AT)
16 Those who see you stare at you,
they ponder your fate:(AU)
“Is this the man who shook(AV) the earth
and made kingdoms tremble,
17 the man who made the world a wilderness,(AW)
who overthrew(AX) its cities
and would not let his captives go home?”(AY)
18 All the kings of the nations lie in state,
each in his own tomb.(AZ)
19 But you are cast out(BA) of your tomb
like a rejected branch;
you are covered with the slain,(BB)
with those pierced by the sword,(BC)
those who descend to the stones of the pit.(BD)
Like a corpse trampled underfoot,
20 you will not join them in burial,(BE)
for you have destroyed your land
and killed your people.
Let the offspring(BF) of the wicked(BG)
never be mentioned(BH) again.
21 Prepare a place to slaughter his children(BI)
for the sins of their ancestors;(BJ)
they are not to rise to inherit the land
and cover the earth with their cities.
22 “I will rise up(BK) against them,”
declares the Lord Almighty.
“I will wipe out Babylon’s name(BL) and survivors,
her offspring and descendants,(BM)”
declares the Lord.
23 “I will turn her into a place for owls(BN)
and into swampland;
I will sweep her with the broom of destruction,(BO)”
declares the Lord Almighty.(BP)
24 The Lord Almighty has sworn,(BQ)
“Surely, as I have planned,(BR) so it will be,
and as I have purposed, so it will happen.(BS)
25 I will crush the Assyrian(BT) in my land;
on my mountains I will trample him down.
His yoke(BU) will be taken from my people,
and his burden removed from their shoulders.(BV)”
26 This is the plan(BW) determined for the whole world;
this is the hand(BX) stretched out over all nations.
27 For the Lord Almighty has purposed,(BY) and who can thwart him?
His hand(BZ) is stretched out, and who can turn it back?(CA)
A Prophecy Against the Philistines
28 This prophecy(CB) came in the year(CC) King Ahaz(CD) died:
29 Do not rejoice, all you Philistines,(CE)
that the rod that struck you is broken;
from the root of that snake will spring up a viper,(CF)
its fruit will be a darting, venomous serpent.(CG)
30 The poorest of the poor will find pasture,
and the needy(CH) will lie down in safety.(CI)
But your root I will destroy by famine;(CJ)
it will slay(CK) your survivors.(CL)
31 Wail,(CM) you gate!(CN) Howl, you city!
Melt away, all you Philistines!(CO)
A cloud of smoke comes from the north,(CP)
and there is not a straggler in its ranks.(CQ)
32 What answer shall be given
to the envoys(CR) of that nation?
“The Lord has established Zion,(CS)
and in her his afflicted people will find refuge.(CT)”
