Isaiah 14:24-32

24The Lord of armies has sworn, saying, “Certainly, 1just as I have intended, so it has happened, and just as I have planned, so it will stand, 25to 2break Assyria in My land, and I will trample him on My mountains. Then his 3yoke will be removed from them, and his burden removed from their shoulders. 26This is the 4plan 5devised against the entire earth; and this is the 6hand that is stretched out against all the nations. 27For 7the Lord of armies has planned, and who can frustrate it? And as for His stretched-out hand, who can turn it back?”

28In the 8year that King Ahaz died, this 9pronouncement came:29“Do not rejoice, 10Philistia, all of you, Because the rod that 11struck you is broken; For from the serpent’s root a 12viper will come out, And its fruit will be a 13winged serpent.3014Those who are most 15helpless will eat, And the poor will lie down in security; I will kill your root with 16famine, And it will kill your survivors.31Wail, you 17gate; cry, you city; 18Melt away, 19Philistia, all of you! For smoke comes from the 20north, And 21there is no straggler in his ranks.32What answer will one give the 22messengers of the nation? That 23the Lord has founded Zion, And 24the poor of His people will take refuge in it.”
