Isaiah 14

14
The Restoration of Judah
1#Ps 102:13; Zec 1:17 For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob,
and will yet choose Israel,
and set them in their own land.
Then the strangers shall be joined with them,
and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
2#Isa 61:5; 60:14 The people shall take them
and bring them to their place,
and the house of Israel shall possess them
in the land of the Lord for servants and handmaids;
and they shall take them captive, whose captives they were,
and they shall rule over their oppressors.
The Fall of Babylon’s King
3#Ezr 9:8–9; Jer 30:10In the day the Lord gives you rest from your sorrow, and from your fear, and from the hard bondage in which you were made to serve, 4#Isa 49:26; Rev 18:16you shall take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say:
How has the oppressor ceased!
The golden city ceased!
5#Ps 125:3; Isa 9:4 The Lord has broken the staff of the wicked,
and the scepter of the rulers;
6he who struck the people in wrath with unceasing strokes,
he who ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and no one hinders.
7#Ps 126:1–3; 98:7–9 The whole earth is at rest and is quiet;
they break forth into singing.
8#Eze 31:16 Indeed, the fir trees rejoice at you,
and the cedars of Lebanon, saying,
“Since you are laid down,
no tree cutter has come up against us.”
9Hell from beneath is moved for you
to meet you at your coming;
it stirs up the dead for you,
even all the chief ones of the earth;
it has raised up from their thrones
all the kings of the nations.
10They all shall speak
and say to you:
“Have you also become as weak as we have?
Have you become like us?”
11Your pomp is brought down to Hell,
and the noise of your harps;
maggots are spread under you,
and the worms cover you.
12#Lk 10:18; 2Pe 1:19 How are you fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
you who weaken the nations!
13#Eze 28:2 For you have said in your heart,
“I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne
above the stars of God;
I will sit also on the mount of the congregation,
in the recesses of the north;
14#Isa 47:8; 2Th 2:4 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
I will be like the Most High.”
15#Mt 11:23; Eze 32:23 Yet you shall be brought down to Hell,
to the sides of the pit.
16#Jer 50:23 Those who see you shall stare at you
and ponder over you:
“Is this the man who made the earth
to tremble and shook kingdoms,
17#Joel 2:3; Isa 45:13 who made the world as a wilderness
and destroyed its cities,
who did not open the house of his prisoners?”
18All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory,
each one in his own tomb;
19#Jer 41:7; 41:9 but you are cast out of your grave
like an abominable branch
and clothed with those who are slain,
thrust through with a sword,
who go down to the stones of the pit
as a corpse trodden underfoot.
20#Job 18:19; Ps 21:10 You shall not be joined with them in burial
because you have destroyed your land
and slain your people.
The seed of evildoers
shall never be renowned.
21#Ex 20:5; Lev 26:39 Prepare a place of slaughter for his children
for the iniquity of their fathers;
they must not rise nor possess the land,
nor fill the face of the world with cities.
22#1Ki 14:10; Pr 10:7 For I will rise up against them,
says the Lord of Hosts,
and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant,
and son, and nephew,
says the Lord.
23#Zep 2:14; 1Ki 14:10 I will also make it a possession for the hedgehog
and pools of water,
and I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,
says the Lord of Hosts.
An Oracle Concerning Assyria
24#Ac 4:28; Job 23:13The Lord of Hosts has sworn, saying:
Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass,
and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
25#Isa 9:4; Na 1:13 that I will break the Assyrian in My land,
and on My mountains tread him under foot.
Then shall his yoke depart from off them
and his burden depart from off their shoulders.
26This is the purpose that is purposed on the whole earth,
and this is the hand that is stretched out on all the nations.
27#2Ch 20:6; Isa 43:13 For the Lord of Hosts has purposed, and who shall disannul it?
And His hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
An Oracle Concerning Philistia
28#2Ki 16:20; 2Ch 28:27In the year that King Ahaz died was this oracle:
29#2Ch 26:6; Isa 11:8 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#Isa 7:21–22 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#Jer 1:14; Isa 13:6 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#Ps 87:5; 87:1 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.
