Isaiah 14:1-12

1For the LORDH3068 will have compassionH7355 on JacobH3290, and will yet chooseH977 IsraelH3478, and setH3240 them in their own landH127: and the strangerH1616 shall joinH3867 himself with them, and they shall cleave to the houseH1004 of JacobH3290.

2And the peoplesH5971 shall takeH3947 them, and bringH935 them to their placeH4725: and the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 shall possessH5157 them in the landH127 of the LORDH3068 for servantsH5650 and for handmaids: and they shall takeH3947 them captiveH7617, whoseH8198 captivesH7617 they were; and they shall ruleH7287 over their oppressorsH5065.

3And it shall comeH1961 to passH1961 in the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 shall giveH5117 thee restH5117 from thy sorrow, and from thy trouble, and from the hardH7186 serviceH5656 whereinH834 thou wast madeH1961 to serveH5647,

4that thou shalt takeH5375 upH5375 this parableH4912 againstH5921 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and sayH559, HowH349 hath the oppressorH5065 ceased! the golden city ceased!

5The LORDH3068 hath brokenH7665 the staffH4294 of the wickedH7563, the sceptre of the rulersH4910;

6that smoteH5221 the peoplesH5971 in wrathH5678 with a continual stroke, that ruled the nationsH1471 in angerH639, with a persecutionH4783 that none restrainedH2820.

7The wholeH3605 earthH776 is at restH5117, and is quietH8252: they breakH6476 forthH6476 intoH776 singingH7440.

8Yea, the firH1265 treesH1265 rejoiceH8055 at thee, and the cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844, saying, SinceH227 thou art laidH7901 downH7901, noH3808 feller is comeH5927 upH5927 againstH5921 usH5921.

9Hell from beneathH8478 is movedH7264 for thee to meetH7125 thee at thy comingH935: it stirreth upH6965 the deadH7496 for thee, evenH776 allH3605 the chief ones of the earthH776; it hath raisedH6965 upH6965 from their thronesH3678 allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the nationsH1471.

10AllH3605 they shall answerH6030 and sayH559 unto thee, Art thou also become weakH3605 as weH3605? art thou become like unto usH413?

11Thy pomp is broughtH3381 downH3381 to hell, and the noise of thy viols: the wormH7415 is spreadH3331 underH8478 thee, and wormsH8438 cover thee.

12HowH349 art thou fallenH5307 from heavenH8064, O dayH7837 starH1966, sonH1121 of the morningH7837! howH349 art thou cutH1438 downH5307 to the groundH776, whichH1471 didst layH5307 lowH776 the nationsH1471!
