Context of Isaiah 14:3

1The Lord will certainly have compassion on Jacob; he will again choose Israel as his special people and restore them to their land. Resident foreigners will join them and unite with the family of Jacob. 2Nations will take them and bring them back to their own place. Then the family of Jacob will make foreigners their servants as they settle in the Lord’s land. They will make their captors captives and rule over the ones who oppressed them. When the Lord gives you relief from your suffering and anxiety, and from the hard labor which you were made to perform, 4you will taunt the king of Babylon with these words: “Look how the oppressor has met his end! Hostility has ceased! 5The Lord has broken the club of the wicked, the scepter of rulers.

Commentaries on Isaiah 14:3

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 3In the day "In that day" - ההוא ביום bayom hahu . The word ההוא hahu is added in two MSS. of Kennicott's, and was in the copies from which the Septuagint and Vulgate translated: ͅ ̔ͅ ͅ, in die illa, (̔ͅ , MS. Pachom. adding ה ), in that day. This is a matter of no great consequence: however, it restores the text to the common form, almost constantly used on such occasions; and is one among many instances of a word apparently lost out of the printed copies.Read the comment
