Isaiah 14:3-23

3And it shall come to pass in the dayH3117 that Jehovah shall giveH5117 thee restH5117 from thy sorrow, and from thy trouble, and from the hardH7186 serviceH5656 wherein thou wast made to serveH5647, 4that thou shalt takeH5375 up this parableH4912 against the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and sayH559, HowH349 hath the oppressorH5065 ceased! the golden city ceased! 5Jehovah hath brokenH7665 the staffH4294 of the wickedH7563, the sceptre of the rulersH4910; 6that smote the peoplesH5971 in wrathH5678 with a continual stroke, that ruled the nationsH1471 in angerH639, with a persecution that none restrainedH2820. 7The whole earthH776 is at restH5117, and is quietH8252: they breakH6476 forthH6476 into singing. 8Yea, the fir-trees rejoiceH8055 at thee, and the cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844, saying, Since thou art laidH7901 low, no hewer is comeH5927 up against us. 9SheolH7585 from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy comingH935; it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earthH776; it hath raisedH6965 up from their thronesH3678 all the kingsH4428 of the nationsH1471. 10All they shall answerH6030 and sayH559 unto thee, Art thou alsoH1571 become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? 11Thy pomp is broughtH3381 downH3381 to SheolH7585, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spreadH3331 under thee, and wormsH8438 cover thee.

12HowH349 art thou fallenH5307 from heavenH8064, O day-star, sonH1121 of the morning! howH349 art thou cutH1438 down to the groundH776, that didst lay low the nationsH1471! 13And thou saidst in thy heartH3824, I will ascend into heavenH8064, I will exaltH7311 my throneH3678 above the starsH3556 of GodH410; and I will sitH3427 upon the mount of congregation, in the uttermost partsH3411 of the northH6828; 14I will ascend above the heights of the cloudsH5645; I will make myself like the Most HighH1116. 15Yet thou shalt be broughtH3381 downH3381 to SheolH7585, to the uttermost partsH3411 of the pitH953. 16They that seeH7200 thee shall gaze at thee, they shall considerH7200 thee, saying, Is this the manH376 that made the earthH776 to trembleH7264, that did shakeH7493 kingdomsH4467; 17that madeH7760 the worldH8398 as a wildernessH4057, and overthrew the citiesH5892 thereof; that let not loose his prisonersH615 to their home? 18All the kingsH4428 of the nationsH1471, all of them, sleep in gloryH3519, every oneH376 in his own houseH1004. 19But thou art castH7993 forth awayH7993 from thy sepulchre like an abominable branchH5342, clothed with the slainH2026, that are thrust through with the swordH2719, that goH3381 down to the stonesH68 of the pitH953; as a dead body troddenH947 under foot. 20Thou shalt not be joined with them in burialH6900, because thou hast destroyedH7843 thy landH776, thou hast slainH2026 thy peopleH5971; the seedH2233 of evil-doers shall not be named for everH5769.

21PrepareH3559 ye slaughter for his children for the iniquityH5771 of their fathersH1, that they riseH6965 not up, and possessH3423 the earthH776, and fillH4390 the faceH6440 of the worldH8398 with citiesH5892. 22And I will riseH6965 up against them, saith Jehovah of hostsH6635, and cutH3772 off from BabylonH894 nameH8034 and remnantH7605, and son and son’s son, saith Jehovah. 23I will also makeH7760 it a possession for the porcupine, and poolsH98 of waterH4325: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith Jehovah of hostsH6635.
