Isaiah 14:28-32
World English Bible
28 This burden was in the year that king Ahaz died.
29 Don’t rejoice, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod that struck you is broken; for out of the serpent’s root an adder will emerge, and his fruit will be a fiery flying serpent. 30 The firstborn of the poor will eat, and the needy will lie down in safety; and I will kill your root with famine, and your remnant will be killed.
31 Howl, gate! Cry, city! You are melted away, Philistia, all of you; for smoke comes out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.
32 What will they answer the messengers of the nation? That Yahweh has founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people will take refuge.

Isaiah 14:28-32
Christian Standard Bible
A Pronouncement against Philistia
28 In the year that King Ahaz died,(A) this pronouncement came:(B)
29 Don’t rejoice, all of you in Philistia,
because the rod of the one who struck you(C) is broken.
For a viper will come from the root[a] of a snake,
and from its egg comes a flying serpent.(D)
30 Then the firstborn(E) of the poor will be well fed,
and the impoverished will lie down in safety,
but I will kill your root with hunger,
and your remnant will be slain.
31 Wail, you gates!(F) Cry out, city!
Tremble with fear,(G) all Philistia!
For a cloud of dust is coming from the north,(H)
and there is no one missing from the invader’s ranks.
32 What answer will be given to the messengers from that nation?
The Lord has founded Zion,(I)
and his oppressed people find refuge in her.
