Isaiah 14:25-32

25I’ll crush Assyria on my land. I’ll trample it underfoot on my mountains. Then its yoke  will be removed from my people, and its burden will be removed from their shoulders.”

26This is the plan determined for the whole earth. This is how he will use his power against all the nations.

27The Lord of Armies has planned it. Who can stop it? He is ready to use his power. Who can turn it back?

28This was the divine revelation in the year King Ahaz died.

29All you Philistines, don’t rejoice that the rod of the one who struck you is broken, because a viper will come from that snake’s root, and his descendant will be a flying, fiery serpent.

30The poorest of the poor will eat, and the needy will lie down in safety. But I will put your root to death with famine and kill off your survivors.

31Cry loudly in the gate! Cry out in the city! Be frightened, all you Philistines! Smoke comes from the north, and there are no stragglers in its ranks.

32How should we answer the messengers from the nations? ⌞Tell them that⌟ the Lord has laid Zion’s foundation, and his humble people will find refuge in it.
