Isaiah 14:4-26

4That thou shalt take upH5375 this proverbH4912 against the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and sayH559, How hath the oppressorH5065 ceasedH7673! the golden cityH4062 ceasedH7673!12 5The LORDH3068 hath brokenH7665 the staffH4294 of the wickedH7563, and the sceptreH7626 of the rulersH4910. 6He who smoteH5221 the peopleH5971 in wrathH5678 with a continualH1115H5627 strokeH4347, he that ruledH7287 the nationsH1471 in angerH639, is persecutedH4783, and noneH1097 hinderethH2820.3 7The whole earthH776 is at restH5117, and is quietH8252: they break forthH6476 into singingH7440. 8Yea, the fir treesH1265 rejoiceH8055 at thee, and the cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844, saying, Since thou art laid downH7901, no woodsmanH3772 is come upH5927 against us. 9HellH7585 from beneath is movedH7264 for thee to meetH7125 thee at thy comingH935: it stirreth upH5782 the deadH7496 for thee, even all the chief onesH6260 of the earthH776; it hath raised upH6965 from their thronesH3678 all the kingsH4428 of the nationsH1471.45 10All they shall speakH6030 and sayH559 to thee, Art thou also become weakH2470 as we? art thou become likeH4911 us? 11Thy pompH1347 is brought downH3381 to the graveH7585, and the noiseH1998 of thy violsH5035: the wormH7415 is spreadH3331 under thee, and the wormsH8438 coverH4374 thee. 12How art thou fallenH5307 from heavenH8064, O LuciferH1966, sonH1121 of the morningH7837H3213! how art thou cut downH1438 to the groundH776, which didst weakenH2522 the nationsH1471!6 13For thou hast saidH559 in thy heartH3824, I will ascendH5927 into heavenH8064, I will exaltH7311 my throneH3678 aboveH4605 the starsH3556 of GodH410: I will sitH3427 also upon the mountH2022 of the congregationH4150, in the sidesH3411 of the northH6828: 14I will ascendH5927 above the heightsH1116 of the cloudsH5645; I will be likeH1819 the most HighH5945. 15Yet thou shalt be brought downH3381 to hellH7585, to the sidesH3411 of the pitH953. 16They that seeH7200 thee shall narrowly lookH7688 upon thee, and considerH995 thee, saying, Is this the manH376 that made the earthH776 to trembleH7264, that shookH7493 kingdomsH4467; 17That madeH7760 the worldH8398 as a wildernessH4057, and destroyedH2040 its citiesH5892; that openedH6605 not the houseH1004 of his prisonersH615?7 18All the kingsH4428 of the nationsH1471, even all of them, lieH7901 in gloryH3519, every oneH376 in his own houseH1004. 19But thou art cast outH7993 of thy graveH6913 like an abominableH8581 branchH5342, and as the raimentH3830 of those that are slainH2026, thrust throughH2944 with a swordH2719, that go downH3381 to the stonesH68 of the pitH953; as a dead bodyH6297 trodden under feetH947. 20Thou shalt not be joinedH3161 with them in burialH6900, because thou hast destroyedH7843 thy landH776, and slainH2026 thy peopleH5971: the seedH2233 of evildoersH7489 shall neverH5769 be renownedH7121. 21PrepareH3559 slaughterH4293 for his childrenH1121 for the iniquityH5771 of their fathersH1; that they may notH1077 riseH6965, nor possessH3423 the landH776, nor fillH4390 the faceH6440 of the worldH8398 with citiesH6145H5892. 22For I will ariseH6965 against them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and cut offH3772 from BabylonH894 the nameH8034, and remnantH7605, and sonH5209, and nephewH5220, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. 23I will also makeH7760 it a possessionH4180 for the bitternH7090, and poolsH98 of waterH4325: and I will sweepH2894 it with the besomH4292 of destructionH8045, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.

24The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath swornH7650, sayingH559, Surely as I have thoughtH1819, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposedH3289, so shall it standH6965: 25That I will breakH7665 the AssyrianH804 in my landH776, and upon my mountainsH2022 tread him under footH947: then shall his yokeH5923 departH5493 from off them, and his burdenH5448 departH5493 from off their shouldersH7926. 26This is the purposeH6098 that is purposedH3289 upon the whole earthH776: and this is the handH3027 that is stretched overH5186 all the nationsH1471.
